Claiming Platinum guts. Will try a run for the record later when people who don't know my gimmicks are queueing. The 3 BLs are Kingdra P2 and Espeon. I have more replays on some alts but I'm bad about uploading replays when on mobile.

Happy to include the run, but there weren’t any public replays for me to look at. Could you include one of those you showed in the screenshot below?
 
Holy crap, I got bronze spirit with bug type. Here are my replays, the other two wins were private but I can dm them if necessary. I lost over and over until I put Pinsir in lead. I think it might be possible to hit 1300 but I don't know if I have the strength for that.

Submitting for Platinum Guts. I've completed every ladder challenge, shout out to Teclis for the idea!


Like roro before me, I tried to do this one w 6 bls. I used the same idea as he did (https://pokepast.es/86dc737e1f1ae3c4) with the double fight p2 combo + regice + kou, but used vap > houndoom bc metagross felt unwinnable at times and passing helped with some of the defensive issues. It's cool to see what makes the best mons the best, shout out to him. here were some replays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1706859130-hltk1s0z7wyj6fgmrsf947jw4c6rqx8pw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1706840455-sl2bdrkcg0bvyao6kktf6ppc4kbi0ylpw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1706829495-5ydrhq546mlpnrqfn25xpqoza42sdo8pw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1706842474 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1706810212 Raikou is good!

Congratulations! That's an amazing achievement :boi:

anyone getting the Platinum achievements in all categories will get access to a shared custom avatar among generations, rewarding oldgens ladders' finest heroes. The ADV one looks more difficult than average at a glance, and I don't think that's such a meaningful prize compared to the sheer proof of skill of having managed to clear all the challenges, but a perk is a perk.

Claiming gold knowledge (almost platinum!) and the Taken By Storm LC on my Semi Literate account. For Taken By Storm, my opponent forfeited after turn 11, but presumably they were running Vapicuno’s physical offense team with ttar/magneton lasts. Accuracy providing, I would just send out blaziken and win in three more turns - one to kill tar and two to kill endure + salac magneton, which wouldn’t beat blaziken without luck. I’ll leave this up to the moderator’s judgement, but I think I have a good case for the achievement.

Yeah that’s good I’ll give it to ya, blaziken would have OHKOed the mag/ddtar in the back. You got this for platinum!
 
Claiming platinum guts achievement on the account yukari tar. Looks like I got the high score for guts too yay (I reset W/L ratio each time I lost. This took more than 9 games lol)

I used roro's old cm pass team with vaporeon, raikou, and p2 as the BLs. I just changed bp on zap to roar to comply with current bp rules. Here's the paste if you want it: https://pokepast.es/056fdf866c23941e
I saved all the replays, including Ls. Like half of them are private so if staff want to see them all, please let me know.

Also, might as well try to submit these 2 replays for surgical strike. Opps unfortunately forfeited early so I can't be certain I'd win with just the 3 mons I sent out, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Claiming Platinum Guts. Over the past few months I made two or three serious runs at this challenge with different versions of this team. I’d gotten within 10-20 points each time, but I always fell short, so this felt good.

Here’s the team:
https://pokepast.es/2f394c1bca75fdb6

I know the team looks absurd - no ground immunities, no rock resists, sunny day on dd tar, no rock coverage on salac Hera. I actually put a lot of thought into the offensive and defensive synergies on it, though. I think this team is really cool, so much so that I might write an RMT about it on a google doc and link it later in an edit of this post.

(edit: here are notes for the rmt https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aF1Agbpr2vScmt-_xlUHO3lnq7GbDxJpX7W4JzS1xdk/edit?usp=sharing)

Here are my last two replays from my run:

There are a bunch of public replays from my run on the account Engagement Ring if you need to verify. Fair warning, I definitely badmouthed some of my opponents. There are a lot of inaccurate attacks on this team, so I was bound to blow my fuse at some point. Apologies to anyone I was rude to, I would not recommend this team to anyone sane.
