    Yea, I'm aware that Yanmega is really sucky, and that it's cool if the analysis is removed, but it's pretty niche and the only set it should be using is Choice Specs. Speed Boost is too weak. I'll gather some logs. Expect me to post it in a week. Thanks!
    hey there! get on showdown's main server if you can, i'll be idling there so we can chat more in pm
    err yeah i meant gmt +2 haha whoops...ok we'll play at 10 pm gmt +2 and i'll find you on irc then
    i can do 10 pm gmt -2 but not much earlier than that (doctor's appt.) so yeah tell me if that's ok and i'll post it
    idc, you can take it over, i haven't used weavile that much to right a good analysis, but i have used yanmega a lot so ye
    hey, i finally finished up forretress. sorry for the delay; if you want to give it a qc look-over now, that would be great!

    No problem man, I think you are working on the analysis for it, Do you mind mentioning Garchomp as a partner? It does really well beating Jirachi, Ninetales and Tyranitar, while resisting most of Moltres' weaknesses. It also can lure kill Hippo with SD+Aqua Tail, which is common if you are using Moltres+Chomp anyway. Moltres is so much fun, you nailed it on that 2nd to the last paragraph on how its so restricting to teambuild with it.
    I used it as my only team in the CAP Malaconda playtest. Where I used Malaconda to U-Turn lure everything that either Dugtrio can trap or Moltres getting a free hurricane on (Scizor, Loom, and even Toxicroak and Conk were decently common in the suspect just because of it's addition) I did use it in a few matches of Standard OU too (around 30 to 40) I used it as a partner for a Sharpedo sweep, which was nice with the exception of having to run Donphan as the spinner in an attempt to stack Electric weaknesses. Starmie+Dugtrio is also a solid core to support it as Starmie spins and Dugtrio gives you better weather support, while luring Scizor in for a free Hurricane, while Starmie lures Ferrothorn. Overall, the best things to have for Moltres is stuff that can lure in free switchins for Moltres, as having it on your team actually makes you happy for Landorus-I's coming in. I think the SR weakness is not the only real issue though. The fact that you have to run Spinner/Rain/Moltres means you likely will have 3 electric weak Pokemon right off the bat. Really puts a strain on teambuilding. I heard about using it in with Torn-I, but i think the elec weakness is just too much
    I have some alternate speed tiers for you to mull over

    the +1 Gyarados is the only one that is pretty arbitrarily, all the rest are relevant IMO
