some of the content is stolen from Nineage's LC pseudo-analysis thread
Every Pokemon that is in PU needs to receive a PU analysis. This includes completely unviable Pokemon which cannot drop any further because we are the lowest tier (ZU is an OM and has no relevance for our analysis procedures). For these ~120 fully evolved but unviable Pokemon which are in the PU tier, we will be doing mini-analyses rather than the full ones you're used to. This is because they aren't worth the effort that goes into actually viable Pokemon, plus the smaller analyses can suggest that these Pokemon just aren't really worth using. However, it's still good to have a set for every single Pokemon because people still look for guidance on how to use unviable Pokemon and the least we can do is provide their most optimal set. Here's how they'll be different
1. Mini-analyses only need 2 QC checks and 1 GP check
2. Mini-analyses start written up. There is no bullet point stage for them
3. Mini-analyses have a different skeleton
4. There will be a strict 48 hour deadline from reserving a mini-analysis to having it fully written and ready for QC. These aren't that important, there is no excuse in taking a while on these. Only reserve an analysis if you intend to do it immediately.
5. Since these are smaller and easier than regular analyses, you can take up to 5 at a time.
6. These will count towards badges, but they will not contribute as much as a full analysis.
7. Put (mini) in the title of your thread. ex: [QC] Furret (mini) (QC 1/2)
Before taking a Mini-analysis, I would recommend confirming with a QC member that your set is fine. We won't be policing and making small adjustments to these the way we do full analyses, but this is not an excuse to run wild. We will NOT be doing any joke analyses.

[OVERVIEW]
**A few sentences here should immediately establish WHY the Pokemon is not viable (poor stats/no movepool/awful typing/fully outclassed/a combination of these). If applicable, give at least a few Pokemon that outclass it and explain why.**
[SET]
**This should be the best possible moveset for the Pokemon, even if the set is still not good.**
name:
move 1:
move 2:
move 3:
move 4:
item:
ability:
nature:
evs:
[SET COMMENTS]
**This should be 2-3 sentences:
- One sentence should be enough to briefly outline what this set attempts to do.
- If the Pokemon isn't fully outclassed but still unviable, such as in the case of Girafarig, you can describe why; fully outclassed Pokemon, such as Pidgeot, do not require another sentence here.
- The last sentence should describe why the set isn't worth using; reiterate which Pokemon outclass it.
There is NO NEED TO ELABORATE ON SPECIFIC MOVES/EVs/ETC. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL ANALYSIS.**
