In order to make all of our analyses more consistent across generations, the formatting for analyses has changed slightly to make things easier for everybody.

Below is the current format on an empty analysis using the current Abomasnow on the Dex, please update all current analysis in QC/GP to the current format, or change them upon uploading, otherwise your analysis cannot be cached through the CMS.

Does the "ivs:" tag still go after the "evs:" tag?

Speaking of which, why isn't there a tag for IVs on the Dex?

Correct, and I will talk to chaos about getting an IV section on the Dex asap

Now that showdown shows pre mega abilities even when it mega evolved does that mean all the mega analysis will get the imports changed to have them mega evolved. If you don't understand what I am saying here is an example
Old

Altaria @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Roost

Would be new

Altaria-Mega @ Altarianite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Roost

I don't see a reason to change it tbh since the old way of doing it still works just fine

Could one of the blank lines before "[STRATEGY COMMENTS]" be removed in the OP's template? It's pretty much always caught and removed during the GP process so I'm assuming it's not supposed to be there. It just seems like a newbie trap for those that copy and paste it, rather than the one in Post #2.

p2 edito: good call, done
