Who doesn’t love a good challenge or two? The ZU Laddering Achievements (ZULA) thread poses challenges for ZU players to face on the ZU Ladder in order to score points on the ZULA Leaderboard. Whoever has the most points at the end of USUM ZU wins!

Rules:
  • All battles must take place on the ZU Ladder
  • You must post a replay and whatever additional info (screenshot, team importable, etc.) is needed to score for the specific category you are trying to gain points for
  • You may get multiple achievements from the same replay
  • You must win your game for the points to count
  • Unless specifically marked “No Forfeits, No Time Outs,” you can receive points for a game forfeited with the opponent having 2 Pokemon or less or for a game timed out with the opponent having 3 Pokemon or less
  • Please list the category your replay should be awarded. I shouldn’t have to try to figure out which one you’re doing. One exception is the Generational Achievements. You can list those as “Gen 1 Only” or something of similar fashion.
  • You may not receive any points for battles if your opponent has less than 5 Pokemon.
  • You MUST have the “ZULA” tag in front of your user name in order for points to count. Ex. ZULA Aaronboyer
Remember to post Screenshots or a Team Importable if told to for each achievement! If you have any ideas for an achievement, or find a problem in the achievements, feel free to PM me. Have fun laddering!
