This was already asked on discord, I'm 90% sure that the set is just going to get CMS'd into the current offensive utility set.Can I do Z hex Gengar? It is a lot better than Choice Specs and life orb because one gets walled by Toxapex and and is pressured as heck against ttar, while Z Hex destroys most balanced teams and even Stall if it has taunt.
mb forgot to bring this up in qc chan, ou c&c tyrant cm approved so go aheadCould I do Wish Jirachi? It doesn't make much sense for this to not have a set when fucking Choice Scarf is on the analysis
Dont want to be rude here, but most of the mons in this thread have been reserved for a good amount of time without any progress happening or opening a analysis thread at all, so when are people starting to write the analysis? Just as an example: Gliscor has been reserved almost 4 months ago, it should be time to give some analyses to new people that are willing to do the thing in a shorter period of time. If this gets deleted, please tell me why some analyses seem to be in reservation for over 2-4 month without progress by writer
this still a no? if not i'll do itWe're still discussing on things. Probably for now a no but a lot of it is because of the awkward placing of (Mega) Garchomp in general.
Hate to bother you so late in the year, but recently some people have introduced me into a new Kartana set (it's unlisted in the analysis but it is mentioned) as Banded Kartana. It seems to be rising in popularity thanks to Knock Off being quiet the spammable move. It is very powerful, as At +1 (with a choice band) with a Jolly Nature, it can OHKO Standard Toxapex (8 Defense, 248 HP) with Leaf Blade, and Solidly 2HKO Pex with no boosts. I would like to either gain permission to write the analysis or reserve it to write it, as no one else has seemed to reserved it.
252 Atk Choice Band Kartana Leaf Blade vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Toxapex: 195-231 (64.3 - 76.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Kartana Sacred Sword vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 360-424 (93.2 - 109.8%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Kartana X-Scissor vs. 252 HP / 28 Def Tangrowth: 272-320 (67.3 - 79.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Just some calcs to show the power of this thing unboosted.

Mega Scizor/Celesteela/Skarmory walls Kartana anyways for the most part, and the thing isn't made to 6-0 teams. It's made to punch holes in teams for sweepers such as Mega Gyarados or Specs Lele, or clean up in the late game because of it's absurd power. Obviously it's still gonna have checks and counters. I will take your advice, given if they let me write the analysis, to add Scizor to the things that trouble it. Thanks for the advice!If you want to show us that calcs, isn't that great, because Kartana prefers the power of SD + Z Move to beat conventional checks and counters. With that set, M-Scizor walls you effortlesly, Skarmory and Celesteela too, and other threats too depending the move you get locked.
In simple terms, it lacks the power of SD + Z Move and the speed of Scarf, so that set isn't that great in the current metagame
Another Note, Leaf blade actually can just OHKO Toxapex on the spot with grassy terrain support so :DHate to bother you so late in the year, but recently some people have introduced me into a new Kartana set (it's unlisted in the analysis but it is mentioned) as Banded Kartana.

SpDef Pex isn't really a switchin to Kartana anyway.Another Note, Leaf blade actually can just OHKO Toxapex on the spot with grassy terrain support so :D
True, but it's still nice to know something is powerful enough to outright OHKO toxapex with using a boosting move or a zmove.SpDef Pex isn't really a switchin to Kartana anyway.
I'll do AV moongussOldAmberPlays asked for AV Amoongus a while ago and he'll be allowed to write it now if he's still interested.
If (or when) Band Kartana is allowed for analysis, may i reserve it, or no?
Stating no for now on Band Kartana (and since it was brought up in the other thread, Bulky Scarf Lando-T). I will try to incorporate a SCMS update for it.
is completely wrong. SD fight z kartana beats all three if played correctly, whereas band is just hard walled.Mega Scizor/Celesteela/Skarmory walls Kartana anyways for the most part
You can't settup if you're being roasted by a flamethrower from Celesteela, and Skarmory just whirlwinds you outyeah, what exploudit said. Also this
is completely wrong. SD fight z kartana beats all three if played correctly, whereas band is just hard walled.
