Glad to see another ladder warrior posting their score here, glad things went okay with you in the end, and eventually you may get a new nickname that fits for you:)
claiming silver brave/ silver ability and gold knowledge
Gave you bronze ability as you reached it on your third image.
Just in case the "attachment" you edited is gone somehow, I'll post the image in here just to verify for yourself.
tried the hazardous challenge and got close lol - looking back i shouldve para'd heatran and roosted up
Update - got the Hazardous Challenge (same team as above but guy forfeited after my dnite found success)
but a wins a win :)
Match - https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2578713252
Team - https://pokepast.es/64620bccf0c322ca (i think zapdos's set can be changed to a bulkier status set)
ah forgot the !showteam command, but i promise it was the team

Not valid. All the pokemon needs to take atleast 25% damage from Stealth Rock, not that you're bringing mons that would take 25% from rocks.

Sorry for the double post, but also am claiming the Only One Choice challenge for the Luck Achievement:
Match - https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2580492678-n1il226pak6ssb7rwwq1cmxk4x6b6c6pw
team is shown in match with command
basic idea of the team is to trap steels with magnezone which allows our sweepers to sweep easier (in this match this didnt happen but i still won)

Sorry for the triple post, but not sure if this qualifies for the Marriland Special:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2582598119
I had the potential to end the match with Electivire, but the guy forfeited.
Interestingly the damage calc shows that both Flamethrower and Cross Chop aren't guaranteed to KO here:
244 SpA Expert Belt Electivire Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Magnezone: 218-259 (77.5 - 92.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
116+ Atk Expert Belt Electivire Cross Chop vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Magnezone: 223-264 (79.3 - 93.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Considering his Magnezone is Scarfed with no defensive investment and at 89%, these coverage moves have the potential to KO with the right damage roll, but we may never know....
it would've been cool if I got to use Cross Chop and it crit
UPDATE - Got the Marriland Special with a legit sweep
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2590483946-od07kasttl0p7wy0bik08mm23r0qq5gpw

*i think maybe starmie can be replaced with a setup steel sweeper to switch in on scarf latias dms on electivire
example - https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2591659968-d42wd2ak1imm23w2i77gneusud9c2y2pw
meditate electivire is legit
edit - i think electivire can run haban or shuca berry to cover scarf latias dm or scarf flygon eq (above matches were all expert belt sweeps)
edit - ah the dragon attack has to be super effective, so the strat wouldnt work for latias
i think the shuca evs are 252 Atk / 40 Def / 216 Spe
*note that +1 eq loses out on KOs on tar without expert belt
i also feel like sitrus may even be helpful versus scarf rotoms:

Claiming bronze knowledge since I finally got my dumb ass to 1500, mainly using this team: https://pokepast.es/5da25a3768ea0152
GXE is mid since I’ve had this account since I was probably 15 or so lmao. Probably gonna look into trying for some of the fun achievements next.
I yap about the team a bit here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-ou-teambuilding-competition.3687353/post-10963794
Couple of fun replays:

Finally claming platinum guts.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4ou-2592902330-uvp5hr3fdtfsdkkra1884d8r7f4d683pw
I tried this challenge to take a break from grinding, it was fun but sometimes it was brutal.
Here's the team I used: https://pokepast.es/04de7bc3e3e38355
I went back and forth on some movesets, like Donphan was originally offensive, then I went to def with knock tect but was lacking ice shard, so I went back to offensive but quickly realized SD Lucario is an autolose for this team so I had to go back to impish. Gyara was originally ddance but again, fighting types were a problem. The team is decent, I wouldn't recommend playing it (besides for this challenge) cause if you face SD scizor you basically autolose, maybe you can tech firefang on donphan for that but I'm addicted to protect (maybe unironically flamethrower on gyara). I also really liked protect on Registeel, I felt like he was so strong like this.
It feels a bit like cheating having done the challenge with Donphan, maybe I'll tackle it again in the future, but for now I'll take it.

Claiming Knowledge Bronze!
I started competitive Pokémon 4 months ago and I'm very pleased to have reached this milestone.
It was a joy to learn the game. Thanks a lot to this amazing community that is very kind and helpful. Thanks for the Smogon Dex sets. Thanks for the sample teams. Thanks for sharing tournaments team (for example Le Don TyCarter PDC) and especially thanks to Student of Sinnoh and Dridri457 to always kindly answer my questions!

Talked with 16bit about this since you told me this was started somewhere 1300-ish rather than 1000, and he also accepts your claim as valid for the plat guts challenge. And since I've seen you laddered for hours with it, I'll gladly accept this as well.
If you're gonna do something like spirits challenge in the future, then please do it on a new account and save replays as much as possible, since it makes it easier for me to validate the claims.
