Team used:
https://pokepast.es/e3c44a72e3598322
This team is an edit of Aeonfa's team used for this same challenge. Shoutouts to him and CB Fake Out Medicham. This team is very fire weak so beating 308 speed mons (many mixed Salamence, a few Charizard, all Moltres) with both genies was an important change I made. The sets were initially far wackier but this rendition of the team evidently saw the most success. Dropped Thunderbolt on Starmie because it mostly ended up being used for the rather rare Gyarados. In longer games, Recover is a godsend. Celebi handles Suicune and Psychic hits other waters hard enough. I'm happy with the team overall, feel free to use it.

Claiming Platinum Guts! Reached 1657 ELO with 3 UUBL Pokemon (Houndoom, Porygon2, Raikou) and 3 OU Pokemon (Heracross, Salamence, Suicune). Here's the last 3 games (so cheesy sorry) on the way to hit that peak :D

I have a lot I could say about this challenge specifically, but I'll keep it brief. 1. This is way harder than it looks 2. This made me a way better player. 3. 63 attempts counted here, the real number is probably closer to 70. A lot of this was experimentation. Path of least resistance is definitely TSS with Aero. The rest is dealer's choice but this team has four moves that can miss and three of them are Toxic. Not really life or death if you miss that usually. This was really stressful. GGs.
 
Attempting to claim gold tactics. I ended up tying one of the games, so lmk if that makes this invalid and I will delete this post and try again later.

Bugs are the best! And we got lucky this time...

I'd like to claim Bronze in the Luck Achievement with this battle completing the Taken By Storm and Surgical Strike LC's: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2383846913-ofoxgs9kl8plul405ch1w7thbo0feyapw

Insects are often misunderstood! Did you know that male mosquitoes don't bite, and 99% of wasp species have no stinger?

My apologies to Gengar's Gambit for that thunder miss.
 
We should be mostly up to date here, dm me with any questions please.

Also, I figure it's about time I go for some challenges myself, I'll be working on Spirits and Guts first since I've never tried them.
Happy laddering everyone.
 
Luck Platinum

**KABOOM!**: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2389279580-54nvvli02b8afwcmd93omsjqc5gqspnpw?p2 / https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2389250703-nnqrp03f3ub79m49wcqodwj4mt7qh07pw the only one i'm not sure at 100% so i prefer to submit those 2 replays (in the 2nd i could've just wait to pp stall celebi then free boom with rock but the opp ff before)

**The Sweepage Special**: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2389288712-ls11sx4qoactq60fkog3u0vwfndv6rgpw By far the most difficult one, this SalacCuneLead team is carrying my ladder achievements
