This was such a pain but I finally did it, with Level 2 Probopass, Snow Warning Aurorus, and Rhydon. Probopass is still a gimmick but it's just fun to use with Tspikes Nihilego

If anyone wants this disaster of a meme, I posted the team I used too. I feel like it's actually somewhat ladder viable if you're just playing for kicks and switch out the standard Rhyperior set over Rhydon though. I ran into waaay too much Steel when I was laddering though

There's only two and a half days left for this cycle! No one has complete the cycle yet, so the low viability expert title is still up for grabs. Be sure to get your replays in for points towards the leader boards!

The suspect ladder kind of halted this though.
 
As Escoffier said, due to the monotype suspect ladder replacing the regular ladder at the moment, I'll be extending this cycle for an additional 2 weeks.

Now that we're halfway through the third cycle, does anyone have any feedback for this project? Is the number of challenges / week too high? Are the required ELO ratings too high? What could I change that would make this more fun / accessible? Thanks to all.
 
Cycle 3 has come to an end. Cycle 4 will be up shortly, I will be reworking some of the requirements for completing the challenges so that there's a lower barrier to entry. Tagging Eien to merge this (and cycle 2) with the index thread.

Escoffier has gained 2 points this week.

As Namranan is the only one to have participated this week, he gets the points. This project will be picked back up once the magearna suspect ladder ends.
