screw it, I'm taking Golurk as well
I'll take Fraxure.
Can I have Gourgeist-Super? Or is it already reserved?
I would like to reserve Mightyena and Ninetales.
Guys the OP hasn't been updated in awhile, look before you reserve.
For example, both those mons have already been taken, boltsandbombers

LightningLuxray Sorry about that - I'll go back and see if there are any unreserved mons that I'm interested in.
Reserving Mantine and Primeape.
Since I already reserved Sandlsash and Accelgor was already taken
I'm reserving Victreebel
which makes it Sandslash and Victreebel

Late to party, prepare for my vengeance.
Reserving Dragonair, Basculin, and Arbok.

I want to reserve Delcatty. Many would say why i would choose Delcatty, which the answer is very simple. While Delcatty isn't one of the most threatening Pokemon on the metagame -- it has quite a useful niche. In NU, one single member such as Feraligatr with boost properties can end your chances from winning. Delcatty actually helped me survive the battle and ultimately win. This is one good Pokemon with good priority moves, and if you dont have one, i suggest you try it. Which is why i want to make an analysis for this Pokemon.
Evidence for when i used Delcatty in useful situations:

My second Pokemn that i want to reserve is Cryogonal. At first, I thought that i wouldn't use Cryogonal. But i wanted to deal with Stealth Rock users, so i searched for a fast spinner, and here he is Cryogonal! If someone wants a good spinner i highly recommend Cryogonal. The benefit of using a Cryogonal is predicting your opponent. The drawback of Cryogonal is using him in the wrong time or against a strong Pokemon that can overwhelm it -- either super effective moves or anything that can land a crit that can KO it. But Cryogonal is useful for situations that might arise, especially if you're facing a water-type. You can use Freeze-Dry to gain the upper hand, and you can also deal with flying-types such as Archeops with Ice Shard + Freeze-Dry (a favorite NU) pokemon. This pokemon deserves more appearances and an analysis.

This is updated again. Will move things to the under progress section soon
atomicllamas - Go ahead with Politoed
TheCanadianWifier - go ahead with Luxray
Lord Alphose - Golurk is taken
chimpact - vullaby is taken
Rob. - id have to see replays of Yanma before approving it, because I have never seen it in NU ever. So it isnt rejected, but i cant accept it right now.
Bhunivelze - delcatty sucks (in the replays you used, kecleon or kangaskhan could have done the same thing but way better). It lost its niche of having STAB sucker punch now that protean Kecleon is a thing and can do mostly the same thing delcatty can do, but better. And cryogonal is already reserved.
