Rate of the Week
This is a project that looks to bring quality individual rates into the spotlight and recognise the hard work of unbadged raters.
  • Each week, official Team Raters will be paying close attention to the RMT forum and reading the rates posted in their respective tiers. They will then shortlist a few which will be in contention for the Rate of the Week award.
  • From the pool of shortlisted rates, one will be chosen which most exemplifies the qualities of an excellent rate. That rater will be the winner for that particular tier.
  • A post will be made by an official TR who specialises in that tier, explaining how and why the particular rate won. This will allow aspiring raters to gain an idea of what constitutes high-quality rates, and hopefully incorporate those aspects into their own rates.
  • There can be multiple winners every week - ideally one from OU and a couple from other tiers depending on the quality of the rates posted. We hope that in this way we can expand rating activity in less popular tiers, while maintaining a weekly OU winner.
  • Official Team Raters are eligible to win, but unbadged raters will have priority since they are the main focus of this project.
So what's in it for the winners? They will earn a place in the Hall of Fame, which will be kept in the OP of every thread, and will earn more consideration for the Ladybug
and Team Rater
badges. Also, after gaining three places in the Hall of Fame, a rater will be eligible to earn voice status in the RMT room on PS on the condition that they've shown an interest in getting involved.

We hope that this project will encourage people to put more effort into their rates and become better and more experienced raters, which will consequently increase the quality as well as the quantity of rates in the forum.

This week winner is LittleBigness , he made a very good rate. he started replacing Greninja with Mantine which gives to the team a solid check for common threats in the Overused metagame such as Volcarona, Mega Scizor, Choice specs Kingdra, Ash Greninja and mega Swampert.

Afterwards, he replaced Scizor's Defog with Swords dance, which provides to the team a great win condition alongside Zygarde, Swords dance also allows Scizor to take Landorus-t, opposing DD Zygarde, Tapu Bulu and Koko without much trouble.

At last, he changed Tapu Koko to Choice Specs, which appreciates Area trap's ban to spam powerful electric attacks, he also added Dazzling Gleam and Hidden power Fire mentioning these are very important to take out Scizor and Ferrothorn giving also a strong neutral option in Dazzing gleam to hit Landorus and Zygarde super effectively. he finally added some speed EVs on Landorus-t to give a faster Hp Ice to wear down opposing Landorus-t.

Thanks to his rate LittleBigness has earned himself a spot in the Hall of Fame, congrats! :toast:
