Hey SM Community, there is another round of analyses ready for reservation. It's been a busy year for SM smogon analyses, with 32 unique Pokemon receiving full or partial updates to their analyses. I'm putting some more that are available to reserve by posting in this thread. Once a member of QC acknowledges your reservation, you are good to start writing/post your draft. The available Pokemon to write are as follows:
Garchomp:
Z-Move (Overview + CC)
Mixed Mega
Mega Swords Dance
TankChomp
Clefable:
Utility (Overview + CC)
Defensive Calm Mind
Life Orb
Unaware
Excadrill:
Sand Rush (Overview + CC)
Specially Defensive
Lead
Gyarados:
Mega Dragon Dance (Overview + CC)
Flyinium Z
Dragonite:
Z-Move (Overview + CC)
Charizard:
Wallbreaker Y (Overview + CC)
Hoopa-Unbound:
Nasty Plot (Overview + CC)
Choice Band
Sample sets
Once you have reserved one of the following and written up the Pokemon, you can post your analysis in the Past Generation Analyses forum. Use the full analysis skeleton if you are doing the Overview + CC, and use the set skeleton if you're doing just a single set. When you have finished your analysis and posted it, the QC team will look over what you wrote and give you QC checks, which might involve fixing inaccurate information, removing irrelevant information, and guiding you where to expand. Once you have implemented the QC checks by editing your post, it will move onto the GP team, which you contact by @'ing the GP Team account in the replies of your post. If you have any questions about the process, then feel free to ask me anything.
Example of the process.
You are more than welcome to suggest new sets/revamps below or in PMs.
