Core Laddering Challenge is a challenge that requires you to ladder with the required Pokemon for a specific metagame. The assigned cores can consist of one or two Pokemon, depending on the metagame (1v1 usually only requires a Pokemon, while most others usually require two). Remember that while laddering, you must put ALL of the assigned Pokemon on your team. The sets, however, you can decide yourself. This challenge tests one of the key aspects in competitive Pokemon: teambuilding skills. The person with the highest ELO will be the winner and will be put in Hall of Fame. Keep in mind that I'll ask for one of your teams to be put into archive.Original idea by Snaquaza | Original thread by Chopin Alkaninoff

Q&A
Q: When laddering, do I need to ladder with the same team? Can I make changes?
A: Yes, you can change your team, as long as you keep the assigned Pokemon. If you are caught laddering on your CLC alt without the assigned core, your alt will be considered invalid.
Q: When can I start laddering?
A: As soon as you post your registration post (see format above).
Q: Do I need to save replays?
A: No, but you can save them to be featured in Hall of Fame if you win.
Q: These cores are dumb, not viable, or even too easy.
A: New challenges will be up every two weeks. If you have a suggestion, feel free to post it here.
Q: Can I discuss the assigned Pokemon in this thread? How good the Pokemon is, what roles it can do, what movepool it gets, etc.
A: Yes you can. This thread is not limited just for registration and achievement posts.
