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.
oh yeah i'm here maybe i should post ever
hi, glad this place still exists and didn't implode or something, and i'm glad they made a pokemon game that's fun and awesome and makes me enjoy the series again. way more people i recognize than i expected too tbh
With significantly scaled back responsibilities for QC, we wanted to scale things back to a much smaller QC group. A number of criteria were used, including both public (C&C posts) and private (internal QC messaging) communication. Obviously with a smaller team there will be significantly...
At the beginning of a generation, C&C always has issues dealing with the influx of new users, and often it means that we overcompensate for some of those issues. The past C&C term has seen the size and scope of QC balloon far past its original intention, and it's about time we bring QC back to...
Things of note here:
You slashed Gunk Shot. This makes NO sense. One of the few reasons that you really want to use Toxicroak is its heinously powerful Poison STAB that makes it a terror against Fairies like Clefable. Slashing Gunk Shot means you lose one of the most significant selling points...
I'm not sure where to start.
Checks & Counters lists Taunt as top bill when the only actual set has Mental Herb as an unslashed option.
You go out of your way to mention that Trick is bad because of your low speed, and not, you know... because it locks you into what is likely a useless support...
The Quality Control (QC) Team

If the QC team...
Things to note:
Team Options needs fleshing out with actual Pokemon to do the things listed.
Checks & Counters may need some work, I borrowed a bit from the original analysis pre-takeover.
Lucario
Overview
########
Mega Lucario ban hurts viability seriously
Still has important tools
Steel a more useful attacking type, but less good defensively- can't switch into dark attacks as easily, no ghost resistance
Extremespeed out-priorities Gale Wings, so Lucario is a Fighting-type...
After talking, this analysis will be reassigned. The glaring points to note:
Set spacing: The extra spaces between lines will foul up the SCMS, so that's a big no-no. This should be obvious, since literally no other analysis does it this way, so red flag there.
No content: Everything is so...
After some deliberation amongst QC leaders, this analysis has enough flaws that we're putting it on hold until a decision can be reached regarding how to handle it. This thread will be locked until a decision is made as to how to proceed (which should take maybe a couple of days tops). Just hold...
