Hi, claiming silver knowledge (1st time reaching 1650+ ELO) & Bronze Brave (top 100). Idk why I have one more point on the ladder than I gained in my last battle.

See you on the ladder :)

1950 forretress.png
to me its more of an avocado for some reason....

just my usual bi annual ladder run, made this one a few weeks back 7/9, not that 1900's is even remarkable anymore lol. However, this might be one of the higher (highest..?) forretress runs so I wanted to document it in the ladder thread. I really really like this team so I was gonna avoid posting and actually gatekeep it for once... but I'm prob stopping for a while again so I'll drop the paste and a ***brief this time*** summary in the team sharing thread later (the 6 is far from new though). Sharing the team is always more fulfilling anyways for me plus I'll inevitably get fixated on another idea later.

good luck to all laddering it is chaos out there :changry:

Hello everyone! Welcome to the ADV OverUsed ladder achievements thread. Its goal is to record the various performances of the gen3ou ladder enthusiasts, as well as to propose extra challenges to animate things a little bit.

:metagross: Rules :metagross:
​
  1. All battles must take place on the gen3ou ladder on Showdown.​
  2. Please give proof that you completed the challenge to validate your achievement (mostly, screenshots of the rating reached/you owning the account a la Suspect Test).​
  3. You can get several achievements from the same battle/account, and you are generally encourage to post them by batch to avoid flooding the thread if you are chaining them up. I'll like your post once I've taken it into account.​
  4. Achievements can be submitted in PM to me if you want the account you used to remain inconspicuous; I will be posting them in the thread (giving your Smogon username) myself. Please only do it as little as possible though; it's less fun.
  5. Past performances will not be counted; any submission needs to be verifiable on the server (by checking at the rank, WL and such) at the moment they are posted.
  6. Any Platinum achiever in Ability, Knowledge and Tactics can submit a new record beyond the Platinum standard that will be displayed in the table's first line. Please send me a private message on Smogon or Discord (adamc77777) for more specifics regarding how to submit the proofs as you go further and further.
  7. Naturally, don't try to cheat, i.e by submitting an achievement with an account that's not yours and yours alone. If you are caught doing so, you might get exposed and made fun of.
  8. Challenges' specifics might be subject to balance changes over time (increasing or lowering their difficulties); if that happens, achievements will be adjusted when possible.
  9. A Custom Avatar is available for everyone who completes all the platinum achievements!
I would like to introduce new Season Metrics! After some feedback from season 1, I wanted to make some of these harder, some easier for the best ladder in Pokemon Showdown! I have bolded the new metrics and completely redid the Luck Achievements.

See below for details.​

  • The Luck Achievement is made of eight different challenges you can complete in any order. All of them require you to have a particular performance in a single match, which means replays are required to validate them. Those are an exception to the PM option in rule 4; all of them have to be posted in the thread for fun's sake. There are a couple extra conditions to not make them too easy to clear:
    • The opponent beaten must have at least 1500 elo. Your own elo does not matter.
    • The opponent must be using 6 Pokémon teams.
    • Forfeits and time-outs will only be counted if the opponent was at an extreme disadvantage/had no chance of winning the match at that point.

  • Those Luck Challenges (LCs) are the following:
    • KABOOM!: Win a battle after using Self-Destruct or Explosion 5 times.
    • Death by a 1000 Cuts: Win a battle only using passive damage (Spikes, Sand, status, leech seed, etc. Damage dealing moves are banned. Team can have damage dealing moves as long as they're unused).
    • STABless: Your team members must not have STAB affected moves. Confirm with !showteam
    • Guacamole: Win a game with the following team: https://pokepast.es/48bbf5a03db29901. (Note I forgot exploud was banned, I added another Pokemon instead). No adjustments can be made, confirm with !showteam
    • The Sweepage Special: Win a battle where you announce in the chat what action you will take next turn, each turn (the name of the move you are going to use or of the Pokémon you are going to switch into).
    • Not So Weak: Win a battle using a team with all EVs at 0. (using !showteam is required at the end of the match; you need to put a single EV point in a stat on each of your Pokemon for the team to be valid)
    • Taken By Storm: Win a battle KOing the 6 opposing Pokémon by Turn 15.
    • Surgical Strike: Win a battle only sending out three Pokémon or less.

Edit: I realized I should add this just to prove that the account is mine, even though it's obvious from the name.
