Happy 200th post, claiming upgrades to Gold Tenacity, Gold Ingenuity, and Gold Elegance

Because I am bored, I decided to compile all tour replays from LTWC and NULT playoffs from July to today, because I thought it is interesting to analyse tour usage and how it compares with ladder. Here are the tour stats: LTWC + NULT playoffs + ---- + ------------------ + ---- + ------- +...

Cool stuff man, love to see such ladder initiatives. Claiming silver for Tenacity Badge, bronze for Ingenuity Badge, and silver for Elegance Badge.

Personally I feel that implementing COIL is worth a shot in OU as well, since you are able to specify the parameters to suit the needs of the suspect test. More importantly, the relationship between GXE and number of games played in COIL is exponential, while that in the current reqs system is...

Gallade: Ban

Blastoise : Ban
