(Seems like i didn´t save one replay which was a loss, take my word that i used the same team that i used on the other 81 games)
 
Hi, was under the impression I couldn't submit these late (this is from March 28th, 2025) but some other players who've posted in this thread told me I should give it a shot-- I wanted to claim Platinum Brave and Knowledge. (edit: also Bronze Ability, lol).

I have this replay of me getting to the 1800s-- https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2330081085

and I have screenshots showing that it was #1 at the time (I think the ladder rounded my elo differently than the replay did? it says 1816 in the replay but 1815 in the screenshot). I also have an RMT now if that counts as additional proof?

Claiming Plat Knowledge and Brave (may not be accepted because this is from a couple days ago but I figured i’d give it a shot)

Edit: Here’s the replay of me hitting #1 and above 1800 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2439606029-lo86om99rwafh7da6vac4hhksy4x878pw

Also claiming Plat Spirits

Username: CTX PREMONITION
For the team I used zinc’s team with Solrock over Claydol because I like him. Thanks to Zinc: https://pokepast.es/af08b7dca63c642e
Replay of last game: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2442211594-r2y5mm9od8blw666rabj1ea4mxbegqipw

Most if not all of the replays should be saved

Claiming Plat Guts

Here's the replay of me hitting 1650 (hit it exactly on the dot): https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2445298719
Used Quagsire, Venusaur, and Camerupt as my 3 BLs for all games.
Accidentally queued one game with Jynx, Digglet, Haunter, Misdrevius perish spam, and forfeited turn 1, but aside from that, used only the one team.
I forgot to save a few replays when I was starting, but everything after 1300 should be saved.

Claiming the Brave, Knowledge, Spirit and Luck Bronze achievements.

I achieved the Brave and Knowledge achievements on the account Saint Dawnsight. The ladder screenshot with proof is from mid March; I was waiting to have multiple achievements to claim at once.

I completed the Taken by Storm and Surgical Strike luck challenges in the same battle. My opponent forfeit on turn 7 but the remaining revealed pokemon cannot prevent Suicune from sweeping

I completed the bronze spirit achievement on the account Lillicove Redux using the following mono-psychic team.

I achieved a peak of 1331 in this replay
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2273864598?p2
Most of the replays are saved besides a few losses sub 1100

Finishing out this has meant a lot to me. I took breaks and got demotivated at times, but am glad I pulled through and proved to myself I could do this. There are too many people to individually shout out and thank, but I want to give a special thanks to Nal for showing me these were possible in the first place.

- This took about a dozen tries, and for getting "good" runs I felt confident saying any account I got to 20-2 from 1000 could make it.
- During this attempt, I started off 24-0. I had a previous attempt that was also promising by starting off 21-0.
- This attempt was made possible by me winning 18 mid-ladder games in a row.
- Two of my losses came within two games of each other.
- You can find your exact Glicko uncertainty (the +/- number that has to be 50 or less for this to count, labeled "rprd") by typing in your username after this link: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/~~showdown/action.php?act=ladderget&user=
I found this useful towards the very end, I noticed it was going down by about 0.4 per game so was able to estimate how many more games I had to play in my last few sessions (I was ultimately off by one).
- When I registered this account, there were already non-ADV OU games on it. They were not a very good player though (40 GXE across two formats).
- I got inspired to use this specific team while I was having great success climbing in the ladder tour. I ultimately got my ladder tour account up to a peak of 82 GXE, good practice for this.
