Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

ORAS OU Analysis Reservation Index - READ CAREFULLY AND ALL CURRENT WRITERS MUST READ

You've got to make a case for Malamar to get an analysis because it's really not that good of a Pokemon :/.
Gets Knock Off now, benefits from Intimidate and Sticky Web, Contrary Superpower.
Even with Knock Off, Malamar is still really bad, and really easy to stop. It might be a little better in NU, but in OU, it is still really to stop because it is weak, slow, and needs a lot of boosts just to work.
Sorry for confusion, Alter already has Gallade. You can do Beedrill.
Reserving Sceptile with Jukain's approval :)
Confirming that Malamar has gotten a WIP analysis in the past and been rejected. Unless you can provide high-level (think upper ladder or tournament play) replays of its effectiveness in the current metagame SM979 it will not be approved at this point.
24 hour warning Ranger Mike Vertex or your analyses will be reassigned. All you need is a placeholder thread with the format set up and at least one set filled out at the very least; this shouldn't be very hard. Get it done.
Mega Slowbro still needs a taker (will need to be approved because it is one of the high priority analyses).
OP is updated.

I can't post threads I asked you if it could wait but I guess someone can keys.
I see, I'll extend your deadline until Thursday Ranger Mike
Hey, I'd definitely be willing to take on the Slowbro (Revamp). I haven't done too much this generation in terms of Smogon writing, but I write a weekly competitive battling article on puclpodcast.com, and am familiar with how to structure and write the quality of work that is expected of me. I want to get back into the Smogon scene, and I think this would be a good opportunity. I won't disappoint, but I understand if you all would like someone more trusted to take care of this. Either way, best wishes.
rejected - lack of smogon experience/merely ok competitive knowledge as demonstrated in articles

Yea I said that earlier, but I don't know if quality control is going to give it one. Imo I think it should seeing as the elemntal punches gives it it's much needed coverage and should be slashed one of the moveslots at the very least. Plus some of new megas can be seen as counters to Mucha Libre, but let's just see what quality control has to say.
Can i reserve Slowbro (revamp). i have alot of experience with it
I'm afraid you might be a bit too late for that. Check posts before, if actually someone hasn't reserved it. I quoted the message below this piece of text.
Taking over Hydreigon with permission from habajiga. Should I add a scarf set, mainly bc it outspeeds a lot of the new megas? I know alexwolf had some good experience with it.
Also, asking permission to take either Gallade or Slowbro, whichever is available / I am potentially allowed to do.
gallade/slowbro rejected - 3 other analyses in progress

Yeah, i was pleased with the Scarf set and i would like to see it getting a main set. Scarfers are in high demand on offensive teams and Hydreigon offers a unique set of resistances, has lot of power and useful STABs so it can revenge kill tons of stuff, and also has U-turn.
I am sorry to hear this. I hope that I shall be able to contribute in the future. Thank you for the input!
