Here are our rules:
- Two mons on your team must be BOTH below B- (i.e, C+ and down) in the Viability Rankings for the given meta and below 3.41% in the 1500 usage stats (usage can be obtained by typing ".usage" in any room in which boTTT is residing.
- You must build a team with these mons as opposed to stealing one (We're looking at you teambuilding shop).
- You need to post here giving 1) your (unused) ladder alt and 2) both of your dark horse mons.
- Each cycle will last about 2 weeks.
- After you hit a peak, post a screenshot in this thread. Points will be given for specific ladder rankings, as well as bonuses awarded for being one of the highest climbers compared to your challenge peers. Also include a team importable (hidden please).
-
- Discussion is greatly encouraged - share what works, what doesn't, what support is greatly appreciated for your mons.
- Friendly trash talk is not necessarily prohibited
When you post to sign up, please include the following:
Typical Showdown Username:
Challenge Ladder Alt:
Dark Horses Used:
Explanation For Mons: Here, just include a brief description of what you hope your dark horses to do, how you plan to support them, etc.
Some Questions:

- How did your team support your DH mons, or how did your DH mons support your team?
- Would you use your Dark Horse mon again in another context, and would you recommend your DH mon to a user you like?

Hey OMs, I'd like to introduce to you a new ladder challenge; The Dark Horse Challenge. The rules are simple: pick two unappreciated mons to build around, create a team with them and hit the ladder. In doing this we hope to expose some possible new threats in each metagame. Each round (each lasting 2 weeks) we will choose one Other Metagames ladder to use. Some rounds there will be an additional challenge. We'll have a leaderboard which we will update after the end of cycles so users can have something to compete for.~
