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 Ramses , he did a very good and detailed rate. He started mentioning Landorus-t, Zygarde, Mega Pinsir and SD Kartana as giants threats to handle, to solve these weaknesses, Ramses started replacing Garchomp with Defensive Landorus therian. Landorus-t gives to the team a solid ground immunity and thanks to u-turn it gains momentum against Tapu bulu, mega Venusaur and Tangrowth giving to Charizard x a free switch.

After that, Ramses replaced bisharp with a potential mega MPinsir, Landorus, tapu koko and SD kartana revenge killer, choice Specs ash greninja. he mentioned also that an AoA sets fits better in the team since the spiker is ferrothorn, as 4th slot he suggested Ice beam to hit specifically tapu bulu, Amoonguss and tangrowth, an option could be Surf, which can be useful to hit something that dark pulse or hydro pump can't, without chances to miss.

At last, Ramses mentioned that stall teams are quite difficult to handle for charizard x and toxapex was really passive for an offensive team like that, in order to solve the stall match up, he replaced toxapex with z-wild charge tapu koko, which is a solid fast mon able to pressure mega diancie, greninja and ash greninja.

Thanks to his rate Ramses has earned himself a spot in the hall of fame, congratulations! :toast:
