OM Core Laddering Challenge [Challenge #13 @ post #497; deadline Feb. 24]

Status
Not open for further replies.
Almost all of these are easily done at the 1000 level on their respective ladders; the only exceptions are skill swapping natural cure, since that requires the opponent to actually have poison heal, and the 80 turn battle in BH, because it might be hard to get people to stick around for 80 turns without forfeiting. Is there some minimum ELO your opponent needs to have been before the battle for these to actually count, or is this just a trivial scavenger hunt?
Just a scavenger hunt. No need minimum elo or something. Just 1 or 2 replays as proof.

If the challenges are too easy, I'll expand the challenges to 15 and start accepting harder challenges. It's now 8.
 
3 more challenges added. There will be 4 more upcoming challenges, because the final number will be 15.

9. Reach +6 in each stats in AG.

10. KO at least 2 mon in a BH battle using Dream Eater from any mon.

11. Win 2 battles in Full Potential while Trick Room is active when the battle is finished.

Credits to lost heros for assignement 9, though the baton pass part is unnecessary. If you can reach +6 in all stats without Baton Pass, it's also counted. Also, forgot explaining one more rule. If none of the participants complete all challenges, the one who completed most challenges will be the winner.
 
Ok. 4 more assignments added. Now that there's 15, I will not accept any more assignement ideas this time (will be in the future though).

12. Win a Monotype Battle vs a Mono-Steel with Mono-Ice.

13. Win 3 1v1 games with just 1 mon (must provide 3 replays).

14. Grab a Justified boost and KO at least 1 mon in a battle in AAA.

15. Win a battle without switching in one of these metas (not all): BH, AAA, Mix and Mega, Sketchmons or Full Potential. Only ONE, no more.

Credits to lost heros and Zephyr Dragon Lord for assignment 13 and 14. Now you guys can start participating and do the challenges if you're interested.

13. Win 3 1v1 games with just 1 mon (must provide 3 replays).
Greeting fellow competitive pocket monster battles enthusiasts and welcome to my 2nd rmt, Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて, I have now graced the website with my invaluable presence for over a century, gracing multiple tiers and other metagames with my creative and game defining sets and values as well as guiding many of my comrades through the valley of darkness. Having gained the skill and experience of a thousand Spartan soldiers, I have made the decision to open my arms and shower my people with a rainbow of knowledge in the form of a rate my team thread.

The team at Glance:



Tembuilding process:

When I started building Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて the first pokemon I added was Carbink. Carbink is not only one the greatest pokemon to ever grace this current 2.1.7 version of our man made universe. But is also one of the most complex and interesting pokemon design that has inspired me through my art and whose influence in mainstream media cannot be ignored. It's amazing offensive capabilities coupled with a glorious combination of item and ability in Sturdy and Custap Berry allow it to take on almost any common threat in the metagame. This makes it an obvious pick for Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて.

Unfortunately the government has taken drastic action to try and contain Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて's power by disallowing the Custap Berry item in the 7th generation of the main Pokemon game series. But this didn't stop me as in their haste, they forget to take out another item with an almost identical effect in the name of Quick Claw, which allowed Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて to shine once more.
Closer look:


Carbink @ Quick Claw
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 Spe
Modest Nature
- Earth Power
- Moonblast
- Power Gem
- Rest

The moves have been carefully hand picked by a council consisting of 74 of the the greatest minds in the 1v1 metagame, me included. Earth power is what allows Carbink to bypass its weakness to Steel type attacks, essentially turning Carbink into a pokemon with no weaknesses. Moonblast is the Stab move of choice as it allows Carbink to cleanly 2HKO Assault Vest Chansey. Power Gem is the second stab move of choice to hit foes that would resist Moonblast such as Camerupt of Mimikyu. Rest allows Carbink to recover it's health and status condition to stall out passive threats such as mega sableye or Magnemite. The EV spread maximises power and bulk while also outspeeding other uninvested Carbinks. You may wish to invest a bit more speed to try and outpace other people who will undoubtedly use Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて once I release it.

Replays:

VS bebe11 (Jirachii)
VS LegoL (Empoleon)
VS Stoned_Wizard666 (Incineroar)

Special thanks:

The Official Glyx I know it has been rough for you to lose to
Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて on a constant basis, but I wanted to thank for helping me test and perfect this team as I wouldn't have reached the heights I did without your help.
Pepa120 One of the greatest 1v1 player to lay foot on this coarse earth, I wanted to share my deepest admiration as your knowledge of the metagame and teambuilding skills have really inspired me when building
Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて.
Monte Cristo It has been a while, but I felt compelled to tag you on the rate my team thread for Gesamtkunstwerk易しくて so that you can do a real "rate my team" instead of just a "rate my rate my team" or "rate this user".
