Gen VI OU C&C Index
If you are new to C&C and analysis writing standards, read these before posting:
Welcome to the official ORAS OU Analysis Reservation thread. Here, you may reserve analyses for Pokemon that you are knowledgeable about and wish to contribute an analysis for.

All analyses must be approved by the OU Quality Control Team.

Reservation Rules
  • If you are a badgeholder, you can reserve up to three Pokemon at one time. If you are not, you can reserve up to two Pokemon at a time.
  • Additional reservations cannot be made until your current analyses are posted and in the written stage.
  • Pokemon with a (BH) attached to it can only be reserved by badgeholders. Again, this is to ensure the critically important threats are in reliable hands for quality purposes. Pokemon without (BH) are open to anyone, badged or not. Furthermore, players who have proven their abilities with tournament success may inquire about reserving these analyses, regardless of badged status.
  • Pokemon with a * (asterisk) next to it are high priority. They will be assigned to a QC member or trusted writer. There is a certain degree of subjectivity attached to this, and these will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The asterisk is generally only attached to analyses of important, recently released Pokemon to ensure that the writer understands the new, developing metagame at a high enough level.
  • Post in this thread with your analysis reservations. Pay attention to the posts in front of you in case the list is not updated.
  • Do not edit your posts in this thread. Double post if you wish to unreserve your Pokemon or select another one instead.
  • If a Pokemon is not on the reservation list and you strongly believe it deserves an OU analysis, post in this thread with a thorough explanation as to why and the Quality Control team will address it. See this post for clarification.
  • Do not reserve analyses if you do not have extensive knowledge and experience with the Pokemon at hand and the metagame. If either of these issues become evident, the analysis may be reassigned.
Posting Rules (in this thread)

What posts are acceptable:
  • Reserving an analysis.
  • Making a case for a Pokemon to receive an analysis, which must be backed by solid reasoning and replays.
  • Responding to another person's case for a Pokemon to receive an analysis in a manner that supports their post with additional, relevant details (not nitpicks) or refutes their post with a solid explanation.
What posts are not acceptable:
  • General housekeeping as in telling people what's already in progress or informing them of regulations. That is the job of QC members and forum moderators.

Analysis Thread Tags
  • When you post your thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:
    • WIP - Work in Progress: The skeleton is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Do not be lazy.
    • Quality Control - Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/3]. Include (Revamp) or (Set Name) if the analysis falls under either of those categories. The format is Name (Revamp/Set Name if applicable) [QC 0/3]. The skeleton is complete in bullet point form and now needs to seek approval by the QC Team. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. ONLY WHEN YOU REACH TWO QC APPROVALS MAY YOU BEGIN WRITING THE ANALYSIS IN PARAGRAPH FORM, OTHERWISE THE ANALYSIS REMAINS IN BULLET POINTS. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE THIRD QC CHECK UNTIL THE ANALYSIS IS WRITTEN.
    • Copyediting - Grammar-Prose Ready: In the set title, remove [QC 3/3] and include [GP 0/2]. The three required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over.When you are ready for a GP check, please post in the Grammar-Prose Queue with a link to your analysis.
    • Done: After the analysis gets two GP stamps, the analysis is ready for upload.
  • Be sure to update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.
Reservation List

After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your analysis in a timely fashion. Your analysis thread must be up in 72 hours (3 days) or your reservation will be dropped. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify Jukain or TRC Pokemon analyses will be categorized under the following headings:
  • Unreserved: The Pokemon has yet to be claimed by someone.
  • Reserved: The Pokemon is claimed by someone.
  • In Progress: The Pokemon's analysis has been posted and is going through the process.
  • Completed: The Pokemon's analysis is complete and is awaiting upload.
(BH) indicates that the analysis can only be reserved by badgeholders. Good players (as in with tournament success) may inquire about reserving these analyses.

Some notes for current analysis writers:
  • Writers with analyses in the skeleton phase are responsible for updating their analyses with ORAS changes. Any current QC checks will still apply.
    • Include changes that favorably impact the Pokemon (e.g. Pokemon that it checks or tutors).
    • Include changes that negatively impact the Pokemon (e.g. new checks, counters, or threats).
    • If a Pokemon's relevance to the metagame changes in a negative or positive way, make sure this is expressed or at least kept in mind for the write-up.
  • Writers with analyses in the written phase are not responsible for updating their analyses with ORAS changes and should receive their last QC check to move onto GP. Analyses in GP will stay in GP and be uploaded. They will be updated for ORAS at a later point.
 
Toxicroak, Cobalion and Dragalge need to be taken out of the rejected list as they have analysis'

Also Magneton and Honchkrow were being discussed on the lats thread before oras hype killed the discussion iirc
 
I'd like to reserve Gothitelle and Slurpuff.
Now, before you all stare at me as if I'm batshit crazy, I'd just like to say that the addition of drain punch to Slurpuffs arsenal decrease Slurpuffs long list of checks dramatically, and also adds some semi-reliable healing that is always helpful due to puff losing Hp after BD.
Making it much less useless then it was prior to ORAS, and worthy enough for at least an analysis.
