Murkrow[Placeholder]

Dragonmaster123



[SET]
Murkrow @ Eviolite
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def/ 252 SDef
Careful/Sassy
- Tailwind/Thunder Wave
- Taunt
- Sucker Punch/Brave Bird
- Quash/Protect
 
Your given EV spread of 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Sp.Def leads to 4 wasted EVs in Defense and Special Defense each, assuming a 31 IV, due to level 50 mechanics.

no it isn't, i used all the EVs except for the two that don't matter in damage calcs

What he means is that at level 50, only every 8 EVs matter rather than every 4. With an odd IV, 128 EVs gives you the same benefit as 124.

Also, you listed the wrong nature on the set, Calm lowers Attack. Perhaps you were thinking of Impish (+Def, -SAtk) instead?
 
Murkrow is unable to learn Snarl legally at this time, as TM95 has not legitimately been released, and no Pokemon in Murkrow's egg group can learn Snarl by breeding. So technically that would fall under the Dream World section.
 
Ah, missed it in all the slashes (while I'm on the subject, you have too many slashes - move some of them to Other Options). Make sure to fix that typo, then, because it's a little confusing.

Ok, Dream World Section it is then
 
Just gonna say it outright; this needs some major reworking to fit Smogon's template (yeah, you can't just copypaste your analysis from another site), even without the grammar and damage calcs not being in the correct formats. Be honest, have you ever even tried the sets that you're proposing? The way you put Snarl in the analysis not knowing about it not being released makes me think you haven't. You put in a lot of calculations that you could've put in a regular sentence or two, and on top of that you didn't even use the correct format for calculations.

I or someone else will help you if you want it, but right now this makes me wish I never unreserved Murkrow.

EDIT: While I'm at it, Armaldo isn't on the list in the reservations thread, and even so that could use the same reworking as you need to do here. Also, I've tried it. It sucks.
 
as lucariojr pointed out, a lot of this does not follow smogon's format

read some other finished analyses to get a good look at what you should be doing.
 
Just so nobody locks this, I'm working with Dragonmaster to fix this up and hopefully teach him how to make quality analyses.
 
Your set layout should go like this:

[SET]
name: (Decide Yourself)
move 1: Tailwind/Thunder Wave
move 2: FeatherDance
move 3: Sucker Punch/Brave Bird
move 4: Quash/Protect
item: Eviolite
nature: Careful
ability: Prankster
evs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef
 
Mmm but i only have one space for a dark on my team and i have to decide whether its for a sweep or a support role :p Its hard to explain but one of either of the 'krows' will be the crux of it and im building it from there, gotta weigh up their pros and cons first, thats where your analysis comes in :D good work so far
 
End of the year mate, no matter what were doing, we've all said exactly that to ourselves at some point :p also, its just an idea but trick pokes could get a mention in your counters section :)
