OverUsed Ladder Achievements
Hello everyone! Welcome to the BW OverUsed ladder achievements thread. Its goal is to record the various performances of the gen5ou ladder enthusiasts, as well as to add a little spice to those who seek more of a challenge.
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.
* Please save all your games when accomplishing these challenges. You are only required post or pm me the last one where you acheive the elo for a challenge.
*Weather inducing moves such as Rain Dance do not constitute a weather setter.
**Only challenge that requires two victories. You may change ev's on the sample team. DPP Samples found here. ADV Samples are here.
*** if your opponent forfiet's early, a decision will be made on your position and capability to OHKO the remaining Pokemon.
****you will need at least 1 ev on each Pokemon for PS! to validate the team.
If a player has achieved the same status (Bronze -> Record Holder) in all 7 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 7 categories makes a player eligible for the bronze and silver awards as well.
Prizes:
Bronze Award: Congratulations!!! That's all you get. Were you expecting more? I'm sorry if you were :(
Silver Player: Player is eligible for a custom color in the BW discord
Gold Player: Player is eligibale for the role "BW Brain" in the BW discord.
Platinum Player: Player is eligible for this type of Custom Avatar.
Record Holding Player: You may choose Finchinator 's smogon profile picture. Don't be a perv. He only agreed that it would last a week.
*these ribbons were colored by Moutemoute years ago.
** Inactivity and bad behavior in the discord will warrant removal of the role. Moderators may act at their discretion

OverUsed Ladder Achievements
Hello everyone! Welcome to the BW OverUsed ladder achievements thread. Its goal is to record the various performances of the gen5ou ladder enthusiasts, as well as to add a little spice to those who seek more of a challenge.
Rules
- All battles must take place on the gen5ou 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 encourage 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, Spirit, Guts, and Tactics can submit a new record beyond the Platinum standard that will be displayed in the table's first line. Please send me a private message on Smogon or Discord (ibbhy#0484) 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.

Guts Achievement* | 
Gym Challenges |
Feel like a Gym Leader? Reach a certain elo with a Monotype team! | Who uses top tiers? Reach a certain elo with borderline Pokémon! | Lucky or good? Try those tricky challenges! |
Platinum: 1550 Gold: 1500 Silver: 1450 Bronze: 1400 | Platinum: 1650 Gold: 1600 Silver: 1550 Bronze: 1450 | Platinum: Complete 6 GC's. Gold: 4GCs complete. Silver: 2 GCs complete. Bronze: 1 GCs complete. |
Only use teams with Pokémon that share a common type. | Only use teams with at least three Pokémon that are UU (or in a lower tier). | See below for details. |
- The Gym Challenge is made of challenges you can complete in any order. All of them require you to have a particular performance in a single match, which means replays are required to validate them. Those are an exception to the PM option in rule 4; 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:
- The opponent beaten must have at least 1450 elo. Your own elo does not matter.
- The opponent must be using 6 Pokémon in their teams.
- Forfeits and time-outs will only be counted if the opponent was at an extreme disadvantage/had no chance of winning the match at that point.
- If you aren't able to reveal every Pokemon's set required for the challenge in your winning replay, do !showteam before saving the replay to prove you were using them.
