The rain offense guide: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/rain_offense

Although Omastar has slight more SpA, higher defenses and Speed, its secondary Rock typing is more of a curse than a blessing in the lower tiers.

Should be "slightly".

Although its poor base 55 Speed stat means that it won't be outspeeding +1 Adamant Salamence in the rain (without using a +Speed nature and detracting from its attacking power), Omastar still manages to hit the bare minimum Speed stat required of a Swift Swim sweeper (the 209 Speed required to outrun +Speed Scarf Heatran in the rain).

Salamence isn't OU anymore. This and other mentions of Salamence should probably be removed from the article ...

i fixed this. thanks.

i'd like it if somebody familiar with little cup could handle shinyazelf's and bephagor's suggestions.

it says you can play on pokelab...

currently smogon doesn't officially support any simulator... but that will change soon enough, and when it does, i'll take care of this.
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/trick_room_guide

In that article, it mentions Salamence, which is now Uber, but I'm sure they are talking about the OU tier.

Type of Pokémon to use in Trick Room

When picking Trick Room the Speed of the Pokémon plays a major role. Pokémon like Salamence and Gengar thrive on being faster than common threats. Mamoswine often runs a Jolly nature to out run an Adamant Lucario, while Magnezone is equipped with a Choice Scarf so it doesn’t have to worry about max Speed Scizor. The metagame is dependent on who is faster than who and outpacing certain threats. While running Trick Room the opposite is in effect. You want as little Speed as you can to out run the faster Pokémon while under its effects. Anything over base 100 Pokémon is risky to use inside of Trick Room, and for the purpose of this guide I will limit myself to the Pokémon that fit within these boundaries.

fixed these, thanks
 
In the How to: C&C sticky, many of the hyperlinks are to threads which have closed. The ones I noticed were:

This section is designed to inform the reader of how you can fit it onto a team. This link describes the purpose of the team options quite well.

Once your analysis is moved into the proper subforum, other users will begin posting comments and revisions of your work. Be sure to incorporate their changes, but only if you agree with them. Eventually, when you think your analysis is done, PM the appropriate mods and they will check it over. Consult this link to see who to ask.

To finish up the grammar stage, members of the Grammar / Prose team (currently taking applications; check here) perform two final checks. After that, the mod in charge of the analysis performs a final check and uploads it.


Also, there is a hyperlink missing in:

This page is very useful for Smogon-specific grammar issues.
The words are just underlined, it is not actually a hyperlink.
 
Fixed Darkrai analysis according to NatGeo's suggestion.

As for Athenodoros's suggestion, it would be nice if a mod could fix the sticky, but I haven't a clue where those links are supposed to lead to nowadays.
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/magnemite

First paragraph of Magnemite's Steel Trapper set:

Magnemite is the premier Steel-type trapper in Little Cup, being able to easily trap and remove every Steel-type excluding Rock Polish Aron. Thanks to Magnemite's plethora of resistances, it can comfortably switch into a move it resists, set up Substitute and Magnet Rise, and attack. Magnet Rise, in conjunction with Substitute, allows Magnemite to avoid dangerous Earthquakes as well as harmful status. Thunderbolt is Magnemite's main STAB attack, doing tons of damage to most Pokemon. Hidden Power Ice strikes the Dratini and Grass-types that would otherwise wall this set. Alternatively, Hidden Power Fire is an option for attacking opposing Magnemite and Snover, while still being able to hit Grass-types.

I don't think the "the" is necessary.
 
i think 'the' is necessary in that sentence, but it's in the wrong place
so i changed it to:
Hidden Power Ice strikes Dratini and the Grass-types that would otherwise wall this set.

shinyazelf isn't that your analysis? if you had a problem with that addition you should have brought it up before it got uploaded lol
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/infernape said:
Although somewhat tricky to set up, Infernape can become a viciously powerful offensive threat after just one Swords Dance, capable of OHKOing or 2HKOing everyone in Ubers.
Shouldn't it be everything? =o
 
The Carvanha analysis is really messed up. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/carvanha

There are no moves listed in either set, the nature of the first set is listed as Jolly when it says in the Set Comments that it should only be Adamant, and the nature of the second set is listed as "Jolly / Adamant" when only Jolly is mentioned in the Set Comments.

Also, at the end of the last sentence of the overview, there are two dashes (like this: "--") when I believe there should only be one:
If picking off weak Pokémon in the late-game or doing a lot of damage in the early-game is your cup of tea, definitely consider Carvanha for a team slot -- because it certainly will not disappoint.
I realize the last part doesn't really matter, but the sets and natures need to be fixed.
 
I still don't see Carvanha's moves, and I still see Defensive Nasty Plot Celebi with "HP Fire." Is it actually fixed and my browser is dumb, or are the sets still wrong?

Also, comatthew6, is the nature for the first Carvanha set supposed to be Jolly or Adamant? It says Jolly in your set, but the set comments only mention Adamant.
 
a badgeholder can make edits to the html of the page but the changes won't show up until a site staff caches it

trust me when i say i've fixed it
be patient
aiiiiight?
 
Yeah fate is right, the changes can be instantaneous if a site staff gets to it fast. Also, posting to say I fixed another issue with it. The tags at the end should not be capitalized [OTHER OPTIONS] [COUNTERS] makes it show up in all caps in the analysis.
 
sorrysorrysorry, I didn't know only site staff could put changes into effect.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/snover
In Snover's analysis, in the last sentence of its UU counters, it reads
scare away Snover with Close Combat.Clefable's ability allows it to walk all over Toxic, Leech Seed, and hail damage quite easily, making it a full proof counter.
There should be a space between the period after "Close Combat" and "Clefable," while the last three words should read "foolproof counter" instead of "full proof counter."
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/infernape
The last sentence of the second paragraph of set comments of the Endeavor Lead is missing a period.
it allows Vacuum Wave to KO most Bronzong after a single Fire-type attack

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/gyarados
The fourth sentence of set comments on the bulky DD set should read, "only resisted by Empoleon and Lanturn."
The combination of Waterfall and Bounce, however, is only resisted Empoleon and Lanturn.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/heracross
The fourth sentence of the second paragraph of set comments for the Choice Scarf set, after the semicolon, is missing an "a." It should read, "Toxic is a nasty surprise for these pokemon, especially on a Choice set."
Toxic is nasty surprise for these Pokemon, especially on a Choice set.
