  1. I have reached #1 on eleven different Ubers ladders across Pokémon Showdown as well as four different Pokémon Online servers.
  2.  
  3. Chronologically, they are:
  4.  
  5. 1. The Gen5 Ubers ladder on the old PokéBattleCenter server, under the name "PLASMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (I didn't take a screenshot of this, unfortunately)
  6. 2. The DW Ubers ladder on the old Pokémon Online server, under the name "Th3 R0ck3r" (this is, I would say, my greatest peak on any ladder. All five of the names circled in red in the top 10 of that ladder are me)
  7. 3. The Ubers ladder on the old Reborn server, under the name "Th3 R0ck3r" (I reached #1 on this ladder within the space of only a few hours, and never lost a single battle on my way up there)
  8. 4. The DW Ubers ladder on the old Pokémon México server, under the name "[DR] The Champion"
  9. 5. The No Preview Ubers ladder on the old Pokémon Online server, under the name "[DR] CHAMPION LANCE" (the top four names on this ladder are all me)
  10. 6. The No Preview Ubers ladder on the current Pokémon Online server, under the name "Tr4nsc3nd3nt R0ck3r"
  11. 7. The DW Ubers ladder on the current Pokémon México server, under the name "Tr4nsc3nd3nt R0ck3r"
  12. 8. The No Preview Ubers ladder on the current PokéBattleCenter server, under the name "Tr4nsc3nd3nt R0ck3r" (I didn't take a screenshot of this)
  13. 9. The Ubers ladder on the current Reborn server, under the name "Tr4nsc3nd3nt R0ck3r"
  14. 10. The old Ubers ladder on Pokémon Showdown, under the name "Ultimate Champion" (I am also #2 and #3 on that screenshot)
  15. 11. The current Ubers ladder on Pokémon Showdown, under the name "D1v1n3 R0ck3r" (I am also #6 and #18 on that screenshot)
  16.  
  17. I have won innumerable Ubers tournaments on various servers on Pokémon Online, mostly on the Pokémon Online server and the Pokémon México server.
  18.  
  19. I have also revolutionized people's understanding of the Übers metagame through some of my posts in this forum, such as the following:

  29. But everything I have mentioned above is absolutely trivial compared to the real reason why I believe I am qualified to be a part of this council. Having participated in an absolutely insane number of Übers battles, as evident from my above ladder rankings, I believe that I have reached a level of experience with the Übers metagame, at which I have obtained some knowledge about said metagame, or simply Pokémon in general, that is unknown to just about every other person in existence. This is clearly evident to me through my experience reading some of the posts about the Übers metagame that people make in this forum as well as on Pokémon Online, Serebii and GameFAQs, reading some of Smogon's analyses of Über Pokémon as well as various Übers-related articles in numerous issues of The Smog, observing usage statistics, or simply looking at the way people typically build teams and battle. Through the aforementioned processes, I can observe people believing in things like Kyogre being the best Pokémon in Übers, Will-O-Wisp-reliant Pokémon like Giratina qualifying as actual Arceus-Normal counters, Choice Scarf being the best item for Palkia (or that Choice Scarf Palkia is even a good idea ever since Generation V), V-create on Rayquaza being a terrible idea, and many other notions like that, which are the general consensus and almost unquestionably believed in by the vast majority of people, despite their distance from the truth. I have very little doubt in my mind that any given person who reads this post would probably agree with most, if not all of the four commonly-held beliefs about the Übers metagame that I just mentioned, but this only serves to help my point here. By exposing Smogon, the community widely regarded as the authority on competitive Pokémon, to the wisdom and thus-far secret knowledge about the Übers metagame formed through my inconceivable amounts of battle experiences, I believe that the light of the beacon of Pokémon Mastery that I embody will surely vanquish the ignorance that plagues the vast majority of people's understanding of the Übers metagame, guide the entirety of the competitive Pokémon community along the best path, and ultimately through my guidance, people's understanding of Pokémon, as well as the enjoyment that they derive from participating in the very art of Pokémon battling itself will surely be maximized. With my unparalleled understanding of the exact levels of power possessed by each and every Pokémon in the current Übers metagame, I will do my utmost to ensure the creation of a new Übers metagame that is as fun, fair, and competitive as possible.

  31. The only thing I don't have much of is IRC Activity, as I wasn't even aware of Smogon's IRC channels until very recently, and whenever I joined their #pokemon or #ubers channels, I always find that they're completely dead.
