National Dex Monotype Ladder Achievements
Hello everyone! Welcome to the National Dex Monotype Ladder Achievements thread. The goal of this project is to reward the loyal ladder heroes of the tier that have been keeping the tier's ladder alive since the start of the generation but also encourage newer or less committed players to hop on ladder, load some games and have fun!
Rules
- All battles must take place on the National Dex Monotype ladder on Showdown.
- 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).
- You can get several achievements from the same battle/account, and you are generally encouraged 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.
- 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.
- Past performances will NOT be counted; any submission needs to be verifiable on the server (by checking at the rank, W/L and such) at the moment they are posted.
- Any Platinum achiever in Ability, Knowledge, and Triumph can submit a new record beyond the Platinum standard that will be displayed in the table's first line. Please send myself a private message on Smogon or Discord (mateeus) for more specifics regarding how to submit the proofs as you go further and further.
- 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.
- Acheivement levels may be subject to change at the mod team's and host's discretion.
- All accounts for any challenge must be created after the posting of this thread. That means older accounts are NOT eligible for these achievements.
Metric Challenges Resolution Badge | Ability Badge | Knowledge Badge | Triumph Badge |
Reach a certain rank! | Get a certain GXE! | Reach a certain elo! | Achieve a certain win streak!** |
Platinum: Top 1 Gold: Top 5 Silver: Top 10 Bronze: Top 50 | Platinum*: 88 Gold: 84 Silver: 80 Bronze: 76 | Platinum: 1750 Gold: 1700 Silver: 1600 Bronze: 1500 | Platinum: 25 Gold: 20 Silver: 16 Bronze: 12 |
* For Platinum, your Glicko's confidence interval (i.e 1886 ± 43) must be below 60 to make sure your GXE is representative enough of your skill.
** I'm only taking X-0 W/L records on screenshots, so if you are aiming for this you should reset your count after every loss / do not relaunch a game before I've liked your post (= validated the achievement). or, if you do, don't lose. A TIE COUNTS THE SAME AS A LOSS.

Reach a certain rank using at least 3 dexited Pokemon. | Reach a certain win streak using only Pokemon which are legal in National Dex UU (check the teambuilder for reference). | Reach a certain elo without S-ranked Pokemon in the Viability Rankings. | Complete tricky challenges (see below)! |
Platinum: Top 10 Gold: Top 25 Silver: Top 50 Bronze: Top 100 | Platinum: 15 Gold: 12 Silver: 9 Bronze: 6 | Platinum: 1600 Gold: 1550 Silver: 1500 Bronze: 1400 | Platinum: 11 Gold: 9 Silver: 7 Bronze: 5 |
* For these challenges, you need to start with a fresh account and link the last 10 replays in your post to claim the badge. All of your games must still be public and saved to prevent any cheating attempt.
The Versatility Badge is made of eleven different challenges you can complete in any order. Replays are required to validate them! Those are an exception to the 4th rule; 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 opponents beaten must have at least 1400 ELO. Your own ELO does not matter.
- The opponents must be using 6 Pokémon teams.
- Forfeits and time-outs will only be counted if the opponent was at an extreme disadvantage or had no chance of winning the match at that point.
- Spreading Frenzy: Win a battle where you beat an opponent while statusing their entire team.
- 11th Hour Win: Win a battle where you beat an opponent with 1 Pokémon at < 50% HP remaining.
- 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).
- Passive Income: Win a battle where you defeat every one of your opponent's Pokémon with passive damage, such as Leech Seed, hazards, or status.
- Stolen Valor: Win a battle where you enter with zero held items, disturb every one of your opponent's Pokémon's items (via Knock Off, Thief, Poltergeist, etc.), and win. (To prove you had no items, just do !showteam at the end of the replay). Mega Stones and Z-Crystals do not count; but their existence must be proved (i.e.: via Knock Off doing regular damage and/or Trick failing).
- 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).
- Nothing But Consistency: Win a battle where no Pokemon receives a stat drop.
- Shooting Below Par: Win a battle using a team of nothing but 470 or lower BST Pokemon.
- Taken By Storm: Win a battle by KOing the 6 opposing Pokémon by Turn 15.
- Surgical Strike: Win a battle where you only send out three Pokémon or less.
- Present Day Enthusiast: Win a battle using a team without any Mega Stones, Z-Crystals, deleted moves (e.g.: Pursuit, Hidden Power), and Pokemon not in the SV Pokedex. (Using !showteam is required at the end of the match).
If a player has achieved the same status (Bronze → Platinum) in all 8 categories, they are eligible for the corresponding prize. If a player has earned a status in a higher category, they are still eligible for the prizes in the categories below. In other words, earning Gold in all 8 categories makes a player eligible for the Bronze and Silver awards as well.
Prizes:
* Inactivity and bad behavior will warrant removal of the role or rank. Moderators may act at their discretion.
WARNING: Any attempts to cheat the system will be investigated, punishments range from small to harsh infractions and a complete reset in your progress towards any achievement.
