OU ADV OverUsed Ladder Achievements

Claiming Platinum Guts ! (with 4 UUBLs, in case Registeel doesn't count anymore )

Shoutouts to mr.pink for naming the account and motivating me to keep pushing :boi:
I've tried multiple versions of this team : https://pokepast.es/b6b3dd3d4c55ad1b
Before hitting 1500 I ran Jynx lead over Regirock, and Lanturn, Donphan, Steelix before settling on Sceptile as my Electric resist.

Here's the replay of my last game: https://pokepast.es/b6b3dd3d4c55ad1b
You can find all my replays with the name "Zardi B" on Showdown. I might have forgotten to upload some unfortunately. Please excuse my lack of diligence :row:

Claiming Platinum Luck and Platinum Spirits

My last 2 luck challenges :

Surgical Strike: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2671411396-tkbjqh5ypwiwawnunmf5ho1555mjobhpw
Surgical Strike 2 (the previous replay looked a bit staged ngl, so here's another one) : https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2672643442-4yyltaw9i0c0gtky4nqq6yy6ohhh8qtpw

The Sweepage special: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2672431587

For Platinum Spirits, I first attempted to climb with mono-normal only, on 2 different accounts (one of them I used for Surgical Strike 2), mainly with this team, the best out of 6 variations of it: https://pokepast.es/db90db58613c1087
(shoutout to "Dance of the Dead" aka "Casey0706" on Showdown for the inspiration, and who had almost completed Platinum Spirits himself with mono-normal only! )
However, I couldn't get past 1440 and honestly got tired of having all my Counters denied by Rock Slide flinches, so I gave up on the solo mono-normal run.

In the end, I completed the challenge with a hybrid run of Mono-Normal and Mono-Flying (there might be a mono-ground and a mono-fighting game in there, somewhere).
Here is my first draft for mono-Flying : https://pokepast.es/7881cb4051a7f74d
I was paranoid about Breloom with that goofy Gligar set, but it never came out and only Aeros showed up, so I made it an SD endure Salac sweeper with RS EQ instead: https://pokepast.es/ab88508e18020597

Sorry if my last win is a turn 1 time-out, but I already made it to 1580 5 times on 2 different accounts and I've had enough of dealing with DD rock slide sweepers and CM Jirachi. Articuno had its fair share of Ice Beam freezes, but these don't count of course :mehowth:) https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2677621025

I didn't save all the individual replays on my computer, but you should be able to find them all in the replay section. I laddered as "7mphRoadCyclist".

Another shoutout to all my friends in the community : Dr Herbert West, Semmson, Mr.Pink, C4SEY, Hawk, and the people of the Dave Discord
who I shared replays with and made this run more enjoyable <3

Thank you for reading !
