Ok, with most others already getting up, I guess I'll go ahead and get this up. Haven't finished everything yet, but I have enough to start. Without further ado, here we go!:
(Pokemon left: 1)
#1. Gurdurr
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: Currently in progress
#2. Mesprit
Analysis Worthy?: Of course!
Revamp Worthy?: I don't think so. Can probably fix the grammar problems through SCMS
#3. Tangrowth
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: yes
#4. Gabite
Analysis Worthy?: yup
Revamp Worthy?: nope
#5. Kabutops
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: no
#6. Samurott
Analysis Worthy?: you bet
Revamp Worthy?: Maybe. Not at the moment though. Depends on if CB gets added and if we play up the mixed attacking angle more.
#7. Smeargle
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: ya
#8. Lickilicky
Enough to stand out from Clefable as a Normal-type Wish user
Dragon Tail i great with Spikes support (loves Qwilfish as a teammate anyway)
Still need to work with the CB set
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: unlikely. C&C needs some expansion imo, but this can be handled via SCMS.
#9. Garbodor
#10. Skuntank
Remove Wallbreaker set; Absol gives it too much competition
Trapper set is good enough. Typing makes it next to impossible for any Psychic- or Ghost-type to OHKO it.
Probably needs a tone down with the rise of Absol giving it stiff competition
Speed and better bulk (compared to Absol) needs to get highlighted.
Analysis Worthy?: sure
Revamp Worthy?: i'd say so
#11. Piloswine
Remove the AC EV spread. Piloswine really needs the power
Ice resistance is virtually useless without Hail. Samurott and Omastar are the two most common users of Ice-type moves
Ubiquity of Grass-types really hurts, but the rise of Druddigon helps
Teammates section could probably use a little work
Analysis Worthy?: sure
Revamp Worthy?: nah. SCMS should take care of the minor changes needed
#12. Meganium
Remove Dual Screens. Pure Grass is a terrible defensive typing for a dual screens user
Not even sure the Support set should stay. It has been helpful in a few battles though
Needs a major tone down if it keeps an analysis
Analysis Worthy?: possibly.
Revamp Worthy?: yes if it keeps an analysis
#13. Murkrow
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: lord yes. needs it badly
#14. Omastar
Analysis Worthy?: yup
Revamp Worthy?: probably. The changes to the SS set alone will probably necessitate this
#15. Kadabra
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: in progress
#16. Masquerain
Analysis Worthy?: barely, but yes
Revamp Worthy?: um, definitely. Analysis needs a major tone down imo.
(Pokemon left: 1)
#1. Gurdurr
- Currently going through QC right now.
- May look into an all-out attacker set later though.
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: Currently in progress
#2. Mesprit
- Favorite Pokemon in the tier!
- Recently updated, but a lot of grammar issues
Analysis Worthy?: Of course!
Revamp Worthy?: I don't think so. Can probably fix the grammar problems through SCMS
#3. Tangrowth
- Needs a little bit of work, especially C&C
- Sets themselves are ok
- Receives a lot of competition from Amoonguss now
- No mentions of Escavalier and Emboar as checks/counters (or as a teammate in Emboar's case)
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: yes
#4. Gabite
- Recently updated
- Nothing has changed and the analysis looks good
Analysis Worthy?: yup
Revamp Worthy?: nope
#5. Kabutops
- Sets look fine
- Lum Berry probably needs to be slashed before Life Orb on the Rapid Spin set
- Looks fine otherwise
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: no
#6. Samurott
- Current sets look fine
- Look into a CB set. I quite liked it during testing as it had the coverage to smack a lot of stuff and Aqua Jet is a neat tool for revenging stuff like Entei and Emboar (which Samurott can switch into thanks to 95 / 85 physical bulk)
- Maybe play up the mixed attacking angle more?
Analysis Worthy?: you bet
Revamp Worthy?: Maybe. Not at the moment though. Depends on if CB gets added and if we play up the mixed attacking angle more.
#7. Smeargle
- Sleep is well prepared for in RU. Think this needs to be reflected throughout the analysis
- Maybe slash Quiver Dance before Shift Gear on the Baton Pass set.
- C&C needs major work. Mentions Lead Aerodactyl... but more importantly, it has no mentions of Sleep Talk users (Emboar, Entei, Escavalier, etc.)
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: ya
#8. Lickilicky
Enough to stand out from Clefable as a Normal-type Wish user
Dragon Tail i great with Spikes support (loves Qwilfish as a teammate anyway)

Revamp Worthy?: yes if it keeps an analysis
#13. Murkrow
- This needs a lot of work. Pretty sure this was written when Honchkrow was still in the tier
- Life Orb set needs to be added. It has just enough going for it to be viable (priority, high BP STAB, and cool coverage move)
- Still unsure of the Perish Trapper set being viable. Need to work with it more
- Bigger play on Insomnia thanks to all the sleep inducers (which makes the LO set even better imo)
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: lord yes. needs it badly
#14. Omastar
- Remove White Herb from the SS set. Slash order should be Lum Berry / Life Orb imo.
- Weak Armor should be the primary ability on the SS set as it ensures no Scarf user can outspeed if you get in on a physical move
- Play up its ability to switch in and set up on Entei, one of the most common Pokemon in the tier
- SS and Support sets need general work with teammates.
Analysis Worthy?: yup
Revamp Worthy?: probably. The changes to the SS set alone will probably necessitate this
#15. Kadabra
- Currently going through QC
- Revamp in progress looks fine, but it needs more progress lol
Analysis Worthy?: yes
Revamp Worthy?: in progress
#16. Masquerain
- Add a dedicated QuiverPass set and make it the primary set
- Not sure the current on-site set should stay.
Analysis Worthy?: barely, but yes
Revamp Worthy?: um, definitely. Analysis needs a major tone down imo.
