- Endurance Run - This is not an achievement for the faint of heart, as the PS ladder can prove to be soul crushing for even the most steadfast of battlers. However, for those who can weather this trial, the reward is immense. This achievement is given for playing 100 battles on the XY Doubles ladder on a given alt while having at least a 1:1 W/L ratio. If you provide me with a screenshot of this then you can earn 2 points.
- King For a Day - While PS Doubles Room tournaments are designed to be more casual than their forum-based equivalent, that doesn't mean that the competition isn't fierce. With many eager battlers playing to claim victory, winning a tournament takes a good amount of skill, which is something we'd like to recognize. Winning a PS Room tournament will give you 1 point for each time you do it. Just link to a screencap of the win in your point sheet to receive points.
- Icebreaker - Doubles has a close and friendly community on IRC (we don't bite, I swear). Unfortunately, not many people take advantage of this to get to know us more and have great discussions on the Doubles metagame. This achievement aims to encourage new users to join us :) All you have to do to earn it is swing by #doubles or the PS Doubles Room and chat. If it's your first time chatting there (or you're just new to the community, which will be decided at my discretion), you will earn 1 point.
- Refining Fire - With the new XY metagame come many teams from players looking to improve. However, they often don't get any rates at all, and when they do the raters are usually not experienced in the metagame. However, if you perform a quality rate then you are eligible for points. If it was, link to it in your point sheet and you can look to earn 1 point. Continuously earning this achievement might even lead to consideration for the Team Rater badge!
- Master Craftsman - While people think that an RMT is only good if it has made it into the RMT Archive or is showcasing a team that has won a tournament, there's much to be said for an RMT for the purpose of actually seeking improvement on a team. Outside of allowing raters to rate and people to have teams to steal, RMTs are one of the best ways to spread ideas on sets and team styles throughout the community. and a good RMT can be an invaluable resource to someone looking to see how the tier works. In honor of this, we'd like to grant 2 points to those who create a well-presented and well articulated Doubles RMT.
- Spreading the Knowledge - Many new players look to material published in Smogon's competitive Pokemon analyses as a source of knowledge on how to most effectively use a Pokemon. These analyses are not only important, but few are written and they require plenty of effort on the part of the writer as well as knowledge in the field at hand. Thus, if you write an analysis and get it to completion, expect something in the way of 3 points for your labors.
- Raconteur - With the advent of the replay, the art of making a good warstory is all but lost here on Smogon. While replays are more convenient to view however, warstories cannot be beaten for their insight into the mind of the player, view into a tier, and their entertainment value. We'd like to encourage the making of good warstories by offering 2 points for them (exceptionally well made warstories are eligible for a bonus point). Simply PM/VM me with a link to your warstory and if it's good I'll give you points. If you haven't written one before or are unsure of how to make a quality one, simply consult this Smog article for tips. Good luck :)
- Picasso in Training - Art makes everything prettier, including our forum. While anyone could pick up a pencil, not any user can make a visual masterpiece for the site. For making an art piece for a Doubles project or article, you get 2 points. Simply link to the place where the image was used. Note that continued art submissions can go towards an Artist badge.
