Hello and welcome to the second edition of the 1v1 Core Laddering Challenge! (CLC for short) This is a challenge where players climb the heights of the 1v1 ladder with one or more designated Pokemon. At the end of each 3 week cycle, whoever has reached the highest ELO will be crowned champion for that cycle, and put in the Hall of Fame. The CLC puts your teambuilding and laddering skills to the test in a unique way by forcing you to stick to constraints in teambuilding. But worry not, although the Pokémon you can use are dictated by the rules, the sets you use are not! So go ahead and have some fun, or try your hardest at being added to the Hall of Fame.

- Every 2 weeks, a new challenge is posted
- Challenges consist of 1 to 3 cores (labeled Core A, Core B, and Core C). These cores consist of 1 or 2 Pokémon.
- To participate in this challenge, post a screenshot that shows your alt having the requirement, as well as proof that the alt belongs to you. Make sure all the information is shown or your post will be ignored.
- Your laddering alt must start with 1CLC followed by the number of the cycle and the letter for the core you're signing up for.
- While laddering on a CLC alt, if you're caught using a team that doesn't match the challenge in your username (even if you use core A on your 1vCLC 1b alt), your challenge will be considered invalid.
- Please do not ask your opponent for a free win or forfeits. If you're caught doing this, you'll be banned from participating in this challenge.
- There are four possible achievements: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
- The base ELO required for each achievement is as follows, but can be higher or lower depending on the difficulty of each challenge
Bronze: 1325
Silver: 1450
Gold: 1575
Platinum: 1700
- The base ELO required for each achievement is as follows, but can be higher or lower depending on the difficulty of each challenge
- To claim a medal, reply to the thread with a screenshot proving your achievement.
- Achievements are given for each core individually, if you achieve a Gold medal for Core A, that doesn't give you a Gold medal for Core B.
- In addition to the medals, at the end of every cycle the highest ranked player for each core is given a special highlight in the hall of fame.
- Any players who got a Platinum medal or ranked on top will be asked for a copy of their team, which is put in the Hall of Fame.
