When designing achievements, you want to avoid things like "win X battles," and other stuff that the player would do by just, y'know, playing the game. It's lazy design and adds nothing to the experience. You aren't trying anything new with those. Good achievements push players to try new strategies and attempt challenges they wouldn't otherwise think to try.

I do, overall, like the idea of achievements on Pokemon Showdown if they're done well. Maybe this is the kind of thing that could be suggested for in-game implementation? I'd think one person handling this thread, especially if it gets popular, would get pretty demanding pretty quickly.

Anyway, might as well suggest a few ideas while I'm here.

Did You Bring Protection?- Play a game in which all of your mons successfully use Protect and win.
Unstable Weather- Start at least 2 different types of weather in one game and win.
It's The Thought That Counts- KO an opponent with Present and win the match.
Darude Would Be Proud- Win a match in which Sandstorm is up at the end of at least 80% of turns.

Trust me, it's already pretty demanding. lol. I don't mind taking care of it, though.

These are actually a lot of fun. Unfortunately there are many rage quiters, so some of these aren't real wins (kinda. I would have won, but I didN#t get to take out all my opponent's Pokemon).

Where'd he go??? and H4x0r

Greed is good
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-80282998
I didn't get all the boosts, because he quit when I was this close. All I had to do was to go to Gliscor and spam Hone Claws. This would have been my Magikarp sweep...

One man band

I also played RestTalk DD Mega-Gyarados for, but it got lucked out too often...

Middle of the road
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-80274633
prolly one of the thoughest

Underachiver
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-80292704
not that hard, considering how good the UU Pokemon are. He quit when it was only 6-5, but there was pretty much no way I lose this, since my complete team was nearly at full health and his was worn down a lot.

Stall is NOT dead and Passive aggressive
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-80260072
luckily he quit, otherwise I would have been forced to pp stall Gliscor. I should have used Perish Song Celebi in Deoxys place.

I also got Starting off and A little better while doing these

The thing with more than 1 pokemon is that you can choose who to start with.

So it... doesn't count? My intention was to use mgyarados from the beginning. And there a bunch of other battles where I lost. I just didn't make another team with only mgyara.

missing a 90% or 95% accuracy move 3 times in a row (should be a high tier achievement)

Not good enough

Serene Graced - Lose a Pokemon to the bullshit that is Serene Grace.
WTF Is this Shit - Lose to something that way off the standard.
Super Smash Bros - Win a game using a team composing of Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Lucario, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Pichu, and Mewtwo (use 6 of them...obviously)
Magic Trick - Win a game using a team that utilizes Trick Room
Blind Luck - Win a match blindfolded (I expect a youtube video of such an achievement).
You Sir, Have no Soul - OCV an opponent using Serene Grace shenanigans.
Skarmfully Bliss - Win a game with a team that uses the SkarmBliss core.

I can see why they did not implement achievements into showdown as I alone have created 30 of them. I'm still having way too much fun with this
