Rate of the Week
Welcome to Rate of the Week! This is a project that looks to bring quality individual rates into the spotlight and recognizes the hard work of unbadged raters. Here's how it will work:
  • Each week, official Team Raters will be paying close attention to the RMT forum and reading the rates posted in their respective tiers. They will then shortlist a few which will be in contention for the Rate of the Week award.
  • From the pool of shortlisted rates, one will be chosen which most exemplifies the qualities of an excellent rate. That rater will be the winner for that particular tier!
  • A post will be made by an official TR who specialises in that tier, explaining how and why the particular rate won. This will allow aspiring raters to gain an idea of what constitutes high-quality rates, and hopefully incorporate those aspects into their own rates.
  • There will be multiple winners every week, one from OU and a couple from other tiers depending on the quality of the rates posted. We hope that in this way we can expand rating activity in less popular tiers, while maintaining a weekly OU winner.
  • Official Team Raters are eligible to win, but not more than once. Unbadged raters can win the award multiple times.
So what's in it for the winners? Well, they will earn a place in the Hall of Fame, which will be kept in the OP of every thread, and their rates will be announced on Twitter. Winners also earn more consideration for the Ladybug
and Team Rater
badges.

We hope that this project will encourage people to put more effort into their rates and become better and more experienced raters, which will consequently increase the quality as well as the quantity of rates in the forum. Good luck to you all! :)

This week's OU rate winner is EdwardElric15. He starts off by suggesting a ScarfTar in place of Excadrill. The Goomy's team is very weak to the likes of Gengar, Lati twins, and Talonflame could be very annoying to the team. Combined with his second change, which is Keldeo over Manaphy to give the team a Dark resist to the likes of Bisharp and Weavile, his changes make sense since M-Medicham and Keldeo appreciate the Lati twins and Tornadus-T to be weakened/taken down by Pursuit trapping. His last change is a defensive Landorus-T set over his offensive one which is understandable considering how weak to the team is weak to the likes of Charizard-X and M-Lopunny. These changes suggested by EdwardElric makes him worthy of a spot in the HoF, good job!
