BDSP NU C&C Index
If you are new to C&C and analysis writing standards, look over these threads before posting:

• Spelling and Grammar Standards
• Generation 8 Analysis Format (We will be using the Preview Analyses, but with Other Options added. An example will be shown below.)

Welcome to the official Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl NU analysis reservation thread. Here, you may reserve analyses for Pokemon that you are knowledgeable about and wish to contribute an analysis for.

Quality Control Team:
Meri Berry (BDSP NU TL)
Eve (BDSP NU TL)
Aawin
Pokeslice
TBD

Reservation Rules

• Anyone is able to reserve up to two Pokemon at a time. We will not be giving any special preference to Badgeholders or QC members at this time.
• Once you figure out which Pokemon you want to reserve, post in this thread. Under the circumstances that the index isn't updated, be sure to pay attention to recent posts to see what's taken.
• Do not edit your posts if you wish to uphold your reservation or reserve an additional Pokemon.
• Do not post your WIP in the thread until it has been approved (a like on your post by a QC member).
• This should be common sense, but only reserve a Pokemon if you have a good amount of knowledge about it and experience with the metagame.
• If you have written for a Pokemon in the past and are writing for it now, do not copy and paste lines from your old analysis. This is plagiarism, and you will be punished for it.
• To reiterate, the entire process will happen within this thread for the time being. Please do not post anywhere else with your analysis or your reservations.

Analysis Post Tags
When you post in the thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis. This should be done by putting it in bold letters across the top of the post:

[WIP] - Work in Progress: The analysis is incomplete and is not ready for the QC team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in the WIP stage, the greater the chance there is of it being reassigned. Please post again in the thread after your analysis has exited the WIP phase and is ready to be QC'd.

[Quality Control] - Quality Control Ready: At the top of the post, include [QC 0/1]. The analysis is complete in prose form and now needs to seek approval by the QC team. If one QC check is not deemed sufficient to finish the QC process, you will be notified by the QC member that does the check, and will need to receive another check in order for the process to be completed.

[Done] - After the analysis gets through the QC process, we will check the grammar. If the analysis is deemed to be written with good prose and grammar, it will be appended to the Viability Rankings and the analyses list below.

**Update your post's tag as you move along the process.**

An example of a BDSP NU analysis is shown below. Note that since this is just an example, I have not asked for a QC for this post. You can also have multiple sets per analysis, in which case you just copy the Set and Set Comments section.

Lanturn Example Analysis

[QC 0/1]

[SET]
pokemon: Lanturn
set name: Bulky Pivot
move 1: Scald
move 2: Volt Switch
move 3: Rest / Discharge
move 4: Sleep Talk / Protect
item: Leftovers
ability: Volt Absorb
nature: Calm
evs: 40 HP / 128 Def / 8 SpA / 252 SpD / 80 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
This set switches into many Fire-type, Electric-type, and Water-type special attackers with ease, aiming to get momentum with Volt Switch by threatening Ground-types that could stop this momentum with the possibility of a burn from Scald. Although it has a high amount of bulk for the metagame, the lack of reliable recovery on the Pokemon is a major weakness that prevents it from directly switching in on Pokemon other than those it counters. The moves Rest and Sleep Talk aim to mitigate its weaknesses, preventing Lanturn from being permanently harmed by status effects such as burn and poison, as well as giving it a form of recovery at the cost of consistency. Protect offers a more reliable, but more indirect, form of recovery by allowing Lanturn to get more recovery from Leftovers. Discharge is the 4th move of choice when paired with Protect, allowing Lanturn to paralyse its switch-ins. 80 Speed is used to outspeed Pokemon such as Golem and Rhydon and threaten to OHKO them, and 8 Special Attack is used to guarantee a 2HKO against Magmortar with Scald.

Grass-type checks such as Skuntank or Ninetales have good synergy with Lanturn, as they allow Lanturn to Volt Switch on checks such as Bellossom and Exeggutor and apply offensive pressure to the opposing team. Lanturn also suffers from a weakness to physical Ground-type Pokemon such as Sandslash, as well as Ground-type coverage moves from Pokemon such as Magmortar and Electivire. This can be aided with Ground-type immunities that do well against Physical attackers, such as Solrock and Gligar.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Ice Beam allows Lanturn to directly pressure Grass-types which it struggles with, but is normally not worth a moveslot due to Lanturn's low Special Attack, as they can still switch in and threaten Lanturn out anyways. Lanturn can also use Whirlpool to threaten opposing Lanturn, but this often does not work properly as the most common Lanturn set is Rest + Sleep Talk, which is not bothered by Whirlpool and Scald burn.

can I do Regirock?

QC 0/1

[SET]
pokemon: Regirock
set name: Physical Wall
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Stone Edge / Rock Slide
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Rest / Protect / Thunder Wave
item: Leftovers
ability: Sturdy
nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]
With its fantastic physical bulk and Rock-typing that gives it a resistance to powerful Normal- and Fire-type attacks, Regirock has quickly cemented itself as the best Stealth Rocker setter in the tier thanks to its ability to reliably check and set up entry hazards on a large portion of the metagame. Alongside Stealth Rock and a STAB move in Stone Edge or Rock Slide, Earthquake is preferred, allowing Regirock to 2HKO Skuntank and a common switch in in Lanturn. Regirock's biggest flaw is its lack of recovery, so Rest is used in order to keep itself healthy throughout a game, but Protect is often slotted in over Rest in order to gain an extra turn of Leftovers without putting yourself to sleep. Occasionally, Thunder Wave can be used to punish switch ins so as to support a breaker such as Mr. Mime, Glaceon, or Magmortar. With 200 Def EVs, this spread makes Kangaskhan's Earthquake a 5HKO, Jolly Expert Belt Electivire's Earthquake a 4HKO, and Life Orb Aerodactyl's Earthquake a 4HKO, allowing Regirock to consistently switch into these Pokemon safely, even though they pack super effective coverage for it. With the 56 SpDef, Scarf Typhlosion Eruption and Drifblim Shadow Ball will 4HKO Regirock, and it can always survive a +2 Energy Ball from Ninetales after Stealth Rock, making it a soft check to many of the special attackers in the tier.

Flying-types like Gligar, Drifblim, and Jumpluff will add crucial Fighting-, Ground-, and Grass-type resistances for Regirock and make great partners. Grass-type Pokemon like Bellossom, Meganium, and Exeggutor also go well with Regirock with their ability to switch in on and threaten the Ground- and Water-types that cause problems for it. Water-types like Lanturn, Pelipper, and Ludicolo are also great partners because of their ability to wall opposing Water-types and add a secondary Fire-type resist, which helps take pressure off of Regirock.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Curse sets have seen some use, adding a bulky wincon to teams that can set up on most physical attackers. Choice Band can be run as a surprise breaker, but is largely outclassed by another offensive Rock-type in Rhydon and the utility that a defensive Regirock provides is more valuable. Specially defensive variants can be run to provide a more sturdy Fire-type resist to check offensive threats like Magmortar and Typhlosion.

Reserving typhlosion

QC 0/1

[SET]

pokemon: Typhlosion
set name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Eruption
move 2: Focus Blast
move 3: Fire Blast
move 4: Lava Plume
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Flash Fire
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Typhlosion is a terrifying revenge killer and cleaner with Eruption, threatening many teams without a Fire-resistant Pokemon. Focus Blast is Typhlosion’s strongest option against Regirock, Miltank, and opposing Typhlosion. Fire Blast provides a secondary STAB when Typhlosion is below 73% HP, as it outdamages Eruption by that point. Lava Plume fishes for burns against Lanturn and Poliwrath. Flash Fire allows Typhlosion into Fire-types like Magmortar and opposing Tyhplosion while empowering its own Fire-type attacks. A Timid nature is needed to outspeed Choice Scarf users like Haunter and Jynx.

Entry hazard removal is appreciated to keep Typhlosion healthy and the full power of Eruption; Sandslash pairs nicely, as it can threaten out two of its biggest counters, Lanturn and Regirock, while providing Rapid Spin support. Fast and slow pivots such as Rotom-Frost and Gligar can help it pivot into the field safely. Hazard setters like Qwilfish and Regirock can wear down Typhlosion’s counters more easily, making it easier to spam Eruption late-game. Grass-types such as Victreebel and Shiftry can also help provide wallbreaking support and help deal with Regirock and Lanturn.

[OTHER OPTIONS]
Choice Specs offers more raw power at the cost of Typhlosion being outpaced by Aerodactyl, Choice Scarf Haunter, and Scyther. Earthquake hits Lanturn harder than its other moves can, though it still doesn’t deal much damage to it. Blaze gives Typhlosion additional power at less than 33% HP, though this gives it less opportunities to pivot into Fire-types like Magmortar, Ninetales, and opposing Typhlosion. A Modest nature can also allow Typhlosion to hit harder, though being slower than the aformentioned Choice Scarfers is not worth the extra power.

can I do Electivire?

WIP

[SET]
pokemon: Electivire
set name: All Out Attacker
move 1: Wild Charge
move 2: Ice Punch
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Volt Switch / Cross Chop
item: Expert Belt / Life Orb
ability: Motor Drive
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Electivire has solidified its niche as a terrifying breaker that can take advantage of and break through common defensive cores and Electric resists in the tier. Ice Punch hits Ground- and Grass-types that will try to come in Electivire's Wild Charge, especially Gligar, while Earthquake will hit opposing Lanturn that will try to block its STAB, but will shrug off an Ice Punch. Although the ability to pivot with Volt Switch on Regirock and Solrock is nice, Cross Chop can be used over it to hit Piloswine, who would normally wall Electivire. Expert Belt is the preferred item, but Life Orb can be used to give Electivire an extra power boost, although the recoil coupled with Wild Charge isn't ideal. With a Jolly nature, Electivire will outspeed Pokemon such as offensive Gligar, Mr. Mime, and Kangaskhan, but Adamant will allow Electivire to pick up on some rolls that Jolly cannot, such as a guaranteed KO on Lanturn with Earthquake and on defensive Gligar after Stealth Rocks with Ice Punch.

Can I do Glaceon?

QC 0.5/1

Pokémon: Glaceon
set name: Choice Specs Breaker
move 1: Ice Beam
move 2: Freeze-Dry
move 3: Shadow Ball
move 4: Water Pulse / Ice Shard
item: Choice Specs
ability: Ice Body
nature: Modest
evs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def

[SET COMMENTS]
Glaceon is one of the tier’s best wallbreakers because of its unrivaled 130 base Special Attack, fantastic offensive typing, and decent bulk to offset its underwhelming Speed. Ice Beam hits the tier very hard, Freeze-Dry breaks bulky Water-typessuch Lanturn and Lumineon, Shadow Ball hits Ice-resists such as Jynx and Thick Fat Grumpig, while Water Pulse hits Fire-types such as Flareon, Typhlosion, and Magmortar. Ice Shard can be used to pick off weakened Pokemon, notably Jumpluff and Aerodactyl.

Common Glaceon team-mates include late game cleaners that benefit from Glaceon's wall-breaking capabilities such as Aerodactyl, or Choice Scarf users like Typhlosion and Haunter. Momentum-grabbing U-Turn and Volt Switch users such as Scyther or Lanturn are also worth using to more reliably get Glaceon in safely.

Glaceon is an extremely potent wall-breaker with very limited switch-ins such as Thick Fat Grumpig and Miltank and Steel-types like Wormadam-Trash and Bastiodon. Faster offensive Pokemon such as Aerodactyl, Typhlosion, and Magmortar can threaten an OHKO on Glaceon while outspeeding it.

[OTHER OPTIONS]

With a middling base 65 speed stat, Glaceon is slow enough to be used on Trick Room teams but can also feasibly use a Choice Scarf, although it will still be slower than other Choice Scarf users and Aerodactyl. If Glaceon is used alongside Abomasnow, Blizzard is another option for more power.

Kangaskhan?

QC 1/1 - GP 0/?

[SET]
pokemon: Kangaskhan
set name: All-Out Attacker
move 1: Fake Out
move 2: Double-Edge
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Sucker Punch
item: Silk Scarf
ability: Scrappy
nature: Jolly / Adamant
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Kangaskhan has established itself as the best Normal-type in the tier, thank to its powerful STAB options, strong priority moves, and an incredible ability in Scrappy. Fake Out is mandatory to deal chip damage and revenge kill offensive threat like Haunter and Choice Scarf Typhlosion. Silk Scarf-boosted Double-Edge can OHKO or 2HKO the majority of the tier. Earthquake is a good coverage option to damage Steel- and Rock-types that resist Kangaskhan's STAB like Mawile and Regirock. Lastly, Sucker Punch is a secondary priority to check better weakened offensive Pokemon and to act as a cleaner in the late-game. A Jolly nature is preferred to outspeed Pokemon with less than base 90 Speed like Skuntank, Gligar, and Qwilfish, but Adamant is an alternative to maximize the damage output.

Kangaskhan appreciates entry hazard support from setters like Qwilfish and Regirock to weaken enemy threats like Typhlosion and revenge kill them with its priority moves. Qwilfish in particular can set up Toxic Spikes which pair well with Fake Out. Pokemon like Sandslash, Gligar and Exeggutor are good teammates to deal with otherwise problematic Rock-types like Regirock and Solrock; the former can also act as entry hazard remover thanks to Rapid Spin. Furthermore, slow pivots like Lanturn can provide Kangaskhan with opportunities to come into the field without taking any damage. Lastly, Chimecho and Miltank are particular teammates that can act as great clerics with Heal Bell to help Kangaskhan if it gets crippled by burn.

[OTHER OPTIONS]

Kangaskhan can be limited by status, notably burn, so Facade is an option not to become completely useless.

[SET COMMENTS]
Regirock has quickly cemented itself as the best Stealth Rocker setter in the tier thanks to its ability to reliably check and set up entry hazards Stealth Rocks safely on versus a large portion of the metagame. With Its fantastic physical bulk and Rock-typing that gives it a resistance to powerful Normal- and Fire-type attacks Pokemon such as Kangashkan and Typhlosion. (moved this to make another complete sentence, mention that it also checks neutral physical attackers with examples) Alongside Stealth Rock and a STAB move in Stone Edge or Rock Slide, (there is usually no need for mentioning obvious moves, though you could add a sentence explaining why you'd use Stone Edge or Rock Slide) Earthquake is the preferred secondary attack, allowing Regirock to 2HKO a common defogger in Skuntank, as well as a common switch in in Lanturn, a common switch-in (grammar standards use the hyphen). Regirock's biggest flaw is its lack of recovery, so Rest is used in order to keep itself healthy throughout a game, but Protect is often slotted in over Rest in order to gain an extra turn of Leftovers without putting yourself to sleep. Occasionally, Thunder Wave can be used to punish switch-ins so as to support a wallbreakers such as Mr. Mime, Glaceon, or Magmortar. With 200 Def Defense EVs (grammar standards, spell out the stat except for in full spreads), this spread makes Kangaskhan's Earthquake a 5HKO, Jolly Expert Belt Electivire's Earthquake a 4HKO, and Life Orb Aerodactyl's Earthquake a 4HKO, allowing Regirock to consistently switch into these Pokemon safely, even though they pack super effective coverage for it. With the 56 SpDef Special Defense, Scarf Typhlosion Eruption and Drifblim Shadow Ball will 4HKO Regirock, and it can always survive a +2 Energy Ball from Ninetales after Stealth Rock, making it a soft check to many of the special attackers in the tier. (sounds a bit clunky, consider reworking the previous 2 sentences a little)

Flying-types like Gligar, Drifblim, and Jumpluff will add crucial Fighting-, Ground-, and Grass-type resistances for Regirock and make great partners. Grass-type Pokemon like Bellossom, Meganium, and Exeggutor also go well with Regirock with their ability to switch in on and threaten the Ground-types that cause problems for it. Water-types like Lanturn, Pelipper, and Ludicolo are also great partners because of their ability to wall opposing Water-types and add a secondary Fire-type resist, which helps take pressure off of Regirock. (would give more examples of Pokemon Regirock is weak to, and mention its weakness of being passive especially against Ground types)

[OTHER OPTIONS] (Add Drain Punch, its worth OO even with Normal-types being significantly worse)
Curse sets have seen some use, adding a bulky wincon to teams that can set up on most physical attackers. Choice Band can be run as a surprise breaker, but is largely outclassed by another offensive Rock-type in Rhydon and the utility that a defensive Regirock provides is more valuable. (I don't really think this is worth mentioning, though I just haven't seen one) Specially defensive variants can be run to provide a more sturdy Fire-type resist to check offensive threats like Magmortar and Typhlosion. (Make this one of the first sentences (could be behind Drain Punch), consider adding a specific spread, and mention Curse sets using Specially Defensive spreads)

Can I do Glaceon?

QC 0.5/1

Pokémon: Glaceon
set name: Choice Specs Breaker
move 1: Ice Beam
move 2: Freeze-Dry
move 3: Shadow Ball
move 4: Water Pulse / Ice Shard
item: Choice Specs
ability: Ice Body
nature: Modest
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spd Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Glaceon is one of the tier’s best wallbreakers because of its unrivalled unrivaled 130 base Special Attack and a , (add comma) fantastic offensive typing, alongside and decent bulk to offset its underwhelming Speed. Ice Beam hits devastatingly the tier very hard, Freeze-Dry breaks bulky Water-types like such as Lanturn and Lumineon (adding more targets demonstrates the merit the move has), Shadow Ball OHKO's Jynx, and Water Pulse OHKOes Magmortar after Stealth Rocks. Shadow Ball hits Ice-resists such as Jynx and Thick Fat Grumpig while Water Pulse nails Fire-types such as Magmortar, Flareon, and Typhlosion. Ice Shard can be used to pick off weakened Pokemon, notably Aerodactyl or Jumpluff.

Good Common Glaceon team-mates include late-game cleaners who enjoy having Glaceon break walls for them that benefit from Glaceon's wall-breaking capabilities such as Belly Drum Poliwrath (not really standard) Aerodactyl, or Choice Scarf users like Typhlosion and Haunter. Momentum-grabbing U-Turn and Volt Switch users such as Scyther or Lanturn are also worth bringing using to get Glaceon in safely more reliably; Lanturn especially can Volt Switch out on its bulky Grass-type switch-ins like Exeggutor and Bellossom.


Glaceon is extremely hard to switch into outside of Thick Fat Miltank or obscure picks like Regice, Wormadam-Trash, and Walrein, but is prone to being worn down over a match with its weakness to Stealth Rock. Glaceon is an extremely potent wall-breaker with very limited switch-ins such as Thick Fat Grumpig and Miltank and Steel-types like Wormadam-Trash and Bastiodon. It is also easy to revenge kill Glaceon from full HP or force out with Faster offensive breakers such as Pokémon (for analysis its Pokemon not Pokémon) like Aerodactyl, Typhlosion, and Magmortar can threaten an OHKO on Glaceon while outspeeding it. Glaceon’s weakness to faster Fire-types is another reason Lanturn makes a good team-mate.

[OTHER OPTIONS]

With 65 Speed a middling speed stat of base 65, depending on investment Glaceon is slow enough to be run used on Trick Room teams but also fast enough to be able to can also feasibly use a Choice Scarf, although it is worth nothing it will still be slower than Pokemon such as Aerodactyl and other Choice Scarf users. However, even Timid Choice Scarf is still slower than Aerodactyl, so Jynx or Rotom-Frost are generally better options. If run alongside Abomasnow, Blizzard is another option for more power.

ability: Scrappy
nature: Jolly / Adamant

[SET COMMENTS]

After Linoone and Zangoose bans, Kangaskhan has established itself as the best Normal-type in the tier, thank to its powerful STAB options, strong priority moves, and an incredible ability in Scrappy. Fake Out is mandatory to deal chip damage and revenge kill offensive threat like Haunter and Choice Scarf Typhlosion. Silk Scarf-boosted Double-Edge can OHKO or 2HKO the majority of the tier. Earthquake is a good coverage option to damage Steel- and Rock-types that resist Kangaskhan's STAB like Mawile and Regirock. Lastly, Sucker Punch is a secondary priority to check better weakened offensive Pokemon and to act as a cleaner in the late-game. A Jolly nature is preferred to outspeed Pokemon with less than base 90 Speed like Skuntank, Gligar, and Qwilfish, but Adamant is an alternative to maximize the damage output.

Kangaskhan appreciates entry hazard support from setters like Qwilfish and Regirock to weaken enemy threats like Typhlosion and revenge kill them with its priority moves. Qwilfish in particular can set up Toxic Spikes which pair well with Fake Out.

Mr. Mime?

QC 0/1

[SET]
pokemon: Mr. Mime
set name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Psychic
move 2: Dazzling Gleam
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Trick / Healing Wish
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Filter
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Choice Scarf Mr. Mime is a great revenge killer and late-game cleaner thanks to its good Special Attack while can provide a crucial utility with Trick and Healing Wish. Psychic + Dazzling is a great STAB combination as allows Mr. Mime to cover almost everything besides Steel-types neutrally; furthermore, the latter allows Mr. Mime to deal with Dark-types like Skuntank, Shiftry, and Sneasel that can try to switch into Psychic. Focus Blast is a crucial move not to be walled completely by Steel-types such as Mawile and can OHKO Ice-types like Glaceon and Rotom-F after Stealth Rock damage. Trick is a good option to cripple switch-ins and passive Pokemon like Chimecho, while Healing Wish can be an alternative to allow Mr. Mime to bring back weakened teammates in late-game. The EVs spread allows Mr. Mime to outspeed other Choice Scarf users like Rotom-F.

Ground-types like Rhydon and Gligar are great partners as they can handle specially defensive Skuntank which otherwise can be problematic for Mr. Mime. The former can also act as a good entry hazard setter, something that Mr. Mime really like to put some some threats like Glaceon in range of Focus Blast; while the latter is also one of the best Defogger in the tier. Chimecho is one of the best switch-in against Mr. Mime as can handle every attack from it, so Pokemon that can deal with it like Skuntank and Haunter are excellent teammate. Due to its low HP and Defense stats, Mr. Mime struggles to find opportunities to enter the field so Lanturn is another good Pokemon that can act as a pivot to bring Mr. Mime safe. Lastly, cleaners like Choice Scarf Typhlosion and Choice Band Floatzel appreciate the utility that Mr. Mime can offer with Healing Wish to get a second chance to sweep the enemy team.

[OTHER OPTIONS]

A Choice Specs set has a niche in the tier to maximize the damage output but it's difficult to opt for it instead the Choice Scarf one.
