OP largely stolen from here and here
*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.

- All battles must take place on the Gen 9 1v1 ladder on Pokemon Showdown!
- All achievement posts must be accompanied by a screenshot or replay
- State every achievement you are applying by giving its code when you post a replay
- You can get multiple achievements from a single battle
- You can post several achievements from different battles at once (and you are encourage to post them by batch to avoid flooding the thread)
- Forfeits and time outs will only be counted if the opponent is in a losing position
- Your opponent needs to have 3 Pokemon in their team
- Please add a proof that you own the account with which you have done the achievement (screenshot of you writing your Smogon account on PS!, or showing that you are logged in the account for instance)
- When you need to show your team for an achievement, write !showteam in the battle chat before saving the replay
- For achievements where you need to reach a given GXE/Elo/Rank in the ladder, the account used must be created the 31/03/2024 (first day of the project) or after. This is to avoid having everyone claiming achievements with their current rankings on the ladder. You are free to name the account as you wish, but I'll verify the register date. (this does not include the winstreak achievements)
- Yes, some of these are meant to be extremely difficult and nearly impossible. These are not supposed to be challenges you crank out in one sitting and I would not be surprised if nobody gets the diamond ranks. These are designed to be a challenge for all skill ranges so just do your best and don't worry about getting diamond in every single challenge
- If you get Platinum on all those challenges, you can earn 1 month of Prize Winner (^) on the 1v1 Room !
