SV Monotype Ladder Achievements
Hello everyone! Welcome to the SV Monotype ladder achievements thread. The goal is to reward the loyal ladder heroes of the tier that have been keeping the 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
METRIC CHALLENGES
* Your Glicko's confidence interval (i.e 1886 ± 43) must be below 50 to make sure your GXE is representative enough of your skill.
** I'm only taking X-0 WL 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.
FUN CHALLENGES
* You can use the /ds !gen9 command to help you get started
** 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.
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:
Bronze Player: Congratulations!!! That's all you get. Were you expecting more? I'm sorry if you were.
Silver Player: Player is eligible for the role "Ladder Hero" in the Monotype discord.*
Gold Player: Player is eligible for a custom color in the Monotype discord.*
Platinum Player: Room Prize Winner (^)* — possible future custom avatar
* Inactivity and bad behavior will warrant removal of the role or rank. Moderators may act at their discretion.

SV Monotype Ladder Achievements
Hello everyone! Welcome to the SV Monotype ladder achievements thread. The goal is to reward the loyal ladder heroes of the tier that have been keeping the 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 SV 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, WL 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, Dieu, or Vod a private message on Smogon or Discord (miifan / dieuamphibien / vodoom) 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. (July 6th 2025)

The Versatility Badge is made of ten 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:
1. Spreading Frenzy: Win a battle where you beat an opponent while statusing their entire team.
2. 11th Hour Win: Win a battle where you beat an opponent with 1 Pokémon at < 50% HP remaining.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. 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).
6. 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).
7. Nothing But Consistency: Win a battle where no Pokemon receives a stat drop.
8. Shooting Below Par: Win a battle using a team of nothing but 470 or lower BST Pokemon.
9. Taken By Storm: Win a battle by KOing the 6 opposing Pokémon by Turn 15.
10. Surgical Strike: Win a battle where you only send out three Pokémon or less.
- The opponents beaten must have at least 1500 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.
1. Spreading Frenzy: Win a battle where you beat an opponent while statusing their entire team.
2. 11th Hour Win: Win a battle where you beat an opponent with 1 Pokémon at < 50% HP remaining.
