This is a really great job guys, and I only have a few nitpicks. Feel free to disregard them though since I really don't do analyses ever and probably am wrong on a lot of this !_!



Quote:
Jirachi cannot rely on Zen Headbutt or Iron Head to flinch Cyclohm due to Cyclohm's ability, Shield Dust, which prevents any secondary effects such as Flamethrower's 10% burn chance or Iron Head's 30% flinch chance.
Is this really necessary? I feel as if just leaving the explanation out would be best.

Should be SpecsMence (maybe ?_?)

The areas I bolded just sounded wierd in my head, though they are probably correct anyways. The second one could be "...with, thanks to.."

Possibly put the "which are normally scarfed [...]" in parenthesis, or maybe right, "as well as Mamoswine. Both of these pokemon threaten Cychlom immensely." I just don't like how it flows currently, though my suggestion isn't much better either... >_>

awkward phrasing...

Perhaps put the part about how Jirachi relies on flinchax in parenthesis for an easier read.
