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 weeks winner is once again lord etch-a-sketch aka esche. he submitted the best rate once again for round 2 of the uu rating competition. with his first suggestion he mitigated the teams sub seed serperior weakness by changing mantine to crobat which had the additional bonus of helping with this teams lack of speed. his next major change was replacing alolan muk with choice scarf krookodile so the team would no longer have any speed issues and would still retain a good lati and mega manectric check.

he then made some efficient minor changes such as suggesting recover > psyshock on latias to improve longevity and 56 atk to guarantee the ohko on Alolan Muk with tectonic rage. he replaced eq on aggron with fire punch so it would be a better scizor check, a good change with the removal of mantine. he recommended taunt > thunder wave on aggron so hippowdon and swampert could be prevented from setting up rocks. he also edited the spread on aggron to ensure the KO on belly drum azumarill after rocks with heavy slam.

he concluded his rate with the optional change of running either cb azumarill over gliscor or a more spdef gliscor so the team would have a better check to scarf hydreigon. the azumarill would have helped alleviate some pressure in an opposing gliscor match up with a strong aqua jet as well. all in all for an overall excellent rate with great structuring and formatting he is more than deserving of another place in the hall of fame.
