Arcanine's D/P analysis page: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/arcanine

On the physical Life Orb set, a nature isn't specified. Considering what's written in Other Options, it should probably be Intimidate.

if a nature isn't specified that means you can use either! ^_^

On Ponyta's analysis (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ponyta), I think I found a typo.
[quote]Double-Edge is an alternative over Return to hit Pokemon who resist Fire-type attacks harder, however, the recoil damage given from it makes it an unattractive choice since Life Orb, Stealth Rock, and recoil damage from both Double-Edge and Flare Blitz will wear down Ponyta quickly.[quote]
shouldn't the first comma (before "however") be a semi-colon?

How is a nature intimidate?

Komodo · Feb 9th, 2011, 7:38:32 PM

The nature IS specified, it's the ability that isn't. If you read the additional comments you'll see:

"With Arcanine's two excellent abilities, it can make a very effective switch-in to various threats. Flash Fire is recommended because not only does it allow Arcanine to destroy Weezing, Spiritomb, and most Fire-type Pokemon, but it also gives Arcanine extra firepower for Flare Blitz. Intimidate is still useful, however, since it allows Arcanine to switch in more reliably against Pokemon such as Leafeon."

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/beedrill

In the first paragraph of the Lead set:

Quote:

Against slower leads, set up a layers Toxic Spikes until Beedrill gets knocked down to low HP,

I believe the bolded part should say "set up a layer of", not "layers".

ShinyAzelf · Feb 10th, 2011, 7:26:17 AM

Quote:

Against slower leads, set up a layers Toxic Spikes until Beedrill gets knocked down to low HP, and then depending on the situation, either set up another layer and get KOed, or Endeavor to bring the opposing Pokemon down to 1 HP.

I changed it to:

Quote:

Against slower leads, it can set up Toxic Spikes until Beedrill gets knocked down to low HP, and then depending on the situation, either set up another layer and get KOed, or Endeavor to bring the opposing Pokemon down to 1 HP.

In short, fixed.

In the first paragraph of her one set, "Corsola also resists Rock-, Fire-, Flying-, and Normal-type attacks..." Corsola does not resist rock type attacks (but she does resist ice and poison!). Not that anyones using her :(

lol, S_A =P
Isn't it a bit odd to refer to it as "it" and then refer to it as Beedrill in the same sentence xD I would actually rather it be changed to:

Quote:

MagicMaster87 · Feb 10th, 2011, 2:16:25 PM

But that's exactly what it was before, which is grammatically incorrect. It can be changed to either what I originally suggested, or perhaps:

[quote]Against slower leads, Beedrill can set up Toxic Spikes until it gets knocked down to low HP, and then depending on the situation, either set up another layer and get KOed, or Endeavor to bring the opposing Pokemon down to 1 HP.

**Fatecrashers** · Feb 10th, 2011, 3:07:29 PM

changed that Beedrill thing to this:

Quote:

Against slower leads, Beedrill can set up Toxic Spikes until it gets knocked down to low HP, and then depending on the situation, either set up another layer and get KOed, or Endeavor to bring the opposing Pokemon down to 1 HP.

Shinyazelf we appreciate your help but you might wanna double check your stuff there :P

Quote:

The common presence of Stealth Rock and even Spikes in UU makes Donphan ever more popular.

UU overview. IIRC, 2 subjects joined by "and" make a plural verb.. missing commas?

Aeron Ee1 · Feb 12th, 2011, 10:40:02 AM

Quote:

The lack of a reliable recovery move and a low Special Defense stat is disheartening, but Donphan has great HP, Attack, and Defense stats which it can put to good use.

OU overview. There's a missing comma between stats and which, i think.. The overview also kind of just stops, but that's a bit subjective..

Aeron Ee1 · Feb 12th, 2011, 10:42:16 AM

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/donphan

Quote:

Unlike the set above, this takes advantage of Donphan's base 120 Attack stat and high powered STAB move.

OU Choice band set refers to "the set above", which R_D says to not do.. high powered is also supposed to have a hyphen

Honko · Feb 12th, 2011, 12:30:00 PM

Other Options section should be renamed Optional Changes since the rest of the analysis has been updated.

actually, the subject is "the common presence" which is singular

ugh optional changes is the worst name ever, it pained me to make this change

Rising_Dusk · Feb 12th, 2011, 1:35:41 PM

I fixed "the set above" part in Donphan's analysis.

LizardMan · Feb 12th, 2011, 5:34:18 PM

I have noticed a typo in the Crobat analysis. I found this in the optional changes.

"Crobat has a wide variety of EV spreads it can run, due to the different roles it can fulfill. You can reduce the Speed number to 144 EVs, as this puts Crobat at 356 Speed, just enough to outpace +1 Speed Tyranitar."

Those speed EV's put Crobat at 365 speed, not 356. If you only had 356 Spe, you wouldn't outrun base 115s nor Scarftar.

In UU Trick Room Trapper- Team Options & Additional Comments:

Quote:

0 Speed EVs and a Brave nature give Trapinch a grand total of 22 Speed, making him one of the slowest Pokemon in the (only Munchlax is slower).

The error is pretty obvious, the sentence is incomplete. I'm going to guess it was supposed to be:
