Hello everyone! Welcome to the SV ZeroUsed Ladder Achievements thread. Its goal is to record the various performances of the gen9zu ladder enthusiasts, as well as to propose extra challenges to animate things a little bit around here!


Rules

1. All battles must be played on the gen9zu ladder in PS! main server.
2. Provide a proof that you completed the challenge to validate your achievement (mostly, screenshots of the rating reached/you owning the account, just like in Suspect Tests).
3. You can get several achievements from the same battle/account, and you are generally encourage to post them by batch to avoid flooding the thread if you are chaining them up. I'll react with

in your post once I've taken it into account.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Challenges' specifics might be subject to balance changes over time (increasing or lowering their difficulties); if that happens, achievements will be adjusted when possible.
8. ALL the challenges must be completed on an alt account. You can use the same alt for all the Metrics Challenges. Fun challenges REQUIRE a separate one.

Format

Each challenge can be completed at one of two levels: "Completed" or "Supercompleted." "Completed" represents meeting the basic requirements of the challenge, while "Supercompleted" signifies an exceptional performance that goes above and beyond these requirements. In short, "Supercompleting" a challenge means you’ve exceeded the standards for basic completion, and this achievement will be recorded in a separate section. Once you complete a challenge at the regular level, you can supercomplete it at any time afterward. Posting a regular completion is not required before posting a supercompletion.

**For the Tactics Achievement**: 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 lol.

**For ALL of the Fun Challenges**: save all or most of your replays and post them to the thread, so I can verify that you didn't cheat. It's MANDATORY to create a Fresh Alt for all and each of those.

**For the Guts Achievement**: The completion or supercompletion will only count if the date of the Replays submitted coincide with the ranking of the Pokémon by the time.

Note: I strongly prefer achievements being posted on this thread or sent to me in Smogon PMs as it's more convenient for me. You can still send achievements through Discord PM though if you insist. @havocknight is it.

Does the NFE one refer to anything not fully evolved, anything legal in the NFE/LC tiers (which banned electabuzz and combusken iirc), or anything tagged with NFE or LC (or LC Uber) in the builder?

Asking because my first thought was the third one, which excludes pikachu for some reason which feels wrong.

Any LC or NFE Pokémon that is legal in ZU will count! (Which includes Combusken and Electabuzz that you mentioned, and Pikachu too.)

first blood!
I thought the OP post was clear but it really wasn't enough to my understanding. You need to use a fresh alt for ALL the challenges.
The only difference is that you can use the same alt for the Metrics and need a separate one for each of the Fun ones. After talking to a Forum Moderator I decided to award you the completion for now since the opening post wasn't super clear, but for future ones, a fresh alt is mandatory

ok ngl, this sucked to try and complete. the team reached a solid final form near the end, but it was really wonky to build a solid HO with Electric-types when there are a lot of good grasses and grounds + Electric is a pretty poor defensive typing. i’m very interested to see other people complete this challenge because it was super annoying to pinpoint a solid monotype since most of them lack having a solid 6 that isn’t complete shit on by an important mon in the meta and being super Tera reliant isn’t fun. Electric seemed like the most solid since webs HO helps with some of the solid scarfers like float and pass so you’re not reliant on just having a reliable defensive switch in. i think Water is the only other type i considered but decided to go this route. in the end, i had a good amount of fun with this. will be trying more challenges soon.

this one was surprisingly way easier to complete than the monotype challenge. we have a ton of solid NFE’s that can handle the tier’s top threats. you pretty much have to use dipplin and pory since this core is so broken. the entire 6 put in work throughout this run. really fun team to play with. hazards were the main weak point here obviously but you have options to pressure the HO leads to at least mitigate them. I just figured the removal for NFE’s are so mid that I’d rather just build a solid team without it. fun challenge that isn’t too tough, I can see myself super completing at a later date
