taking grookLC C&C is back! We're updating just about everything as it's been a very long time since everything was up to date. Additionally, all the Pokemon currently ranked A and higher on the current viability rankings will be receiving full analyses. Keep this in mind in case you plan to contribute, and here are the analysis formats:
[SET]
(Copy/paste your reserved set here!)
[SET COMMENTS]
Paragraph 1
- the role that the Pokemon plays;
- coverage moves that affect its role, there's no need to explain simple STAB moves unless they're slashed;
- a description of the EV spread in one sentence or less; don't focus on "default" things like maximum Attack investment, do give reasoning behind the benchmarks chosen
- an explanation of Tera types used and why they're beneficial.
Paragraph 2
- a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
- a brief example of foes that the analysed Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
