If you are new to C&C and analysis writing standards, look over these threads before posting:

Throughout the writing process, there will be several Analysis Thread Tags to use to help monitor progress. The tags are shown below.
Analysis Thread Tags
When you post your thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis. Update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move through the process. Let us know if you're unable to meet any time limit.

[WIP] - Work in Progress: The skeleton is incomplete and is not ready for the QC team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Please avoid making comments in these threads until they are ready unless it's something very important.

[Quality Control] - Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/2]. The preview is complete and now needs to seek approval from the QC Team. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have.

[Copyediting] - Grammar-Prose Ready: In the thread title, include [GP 0/1]. The required QC approval has been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for a GP check, please ping GP Team.

[Done] - After the analysis gets the GP stamp, it is ready for upload.

We are bringing the priority system back. This is to ensure analyses are written to a higher standard and to ensure they are completed within a reasonable timeframe. You can reserve 1 Pokemon, and you may reserve a second if your first is in QC and 24 hours pass since the last wave went up.

Note: Newer writers will always get rejected from writing high-priority Pokemon, and Pokemon that are currently not up for reservation.

High Priority analyses will only be approved for very experienced VGC analyses writers and members of the QC team. These analyses are expected to be ready for QC within 3 days and the QC team are expected to prioritize checking these analyses and High Priority analyses will only require 1 QC before moving onto GP.

Normal Priority analyses will be approved for writers who have written at least 1 VGC analysis or have written analyses for other tiers and formats. These analyses are expected to be ready for QC within 5 days and they will require 2 QC before moving onto GP (Very experienced writers and QC members taking a Normal Priority analysis will only require 1 QC unless we feel a 2nd check is required).

Low Priority analyses can be taken by anyone. New writers looking to get into VGC C&C are welcome to reserve these analyses in particular. These analyses are expected to be ready for QC within 7 days and they will require 2 QC before moving onto GP (Very experienced writers and QC members taking a Low Priority analysis will only require 1 QC unless we feel a 2nd check is required).

For this Regulation, we are using a new analysis format, please check THIS thread for information on how it works.

Please be familiar with the Regulation M-B format and the Pokemon you intend to write on, we do not want to QC reject your analysis.

Please read through the announcements thread and new writer's guide if you have not already.

Please join the Smogon VGC Discord so you can ask questions if needed and we can reach you easier if something comes up.

You have 24 hours from approval to get the post to WIP (Seriously it takes like 10 seconds) otherwise it will get re-assigned. If you need more time feel free to dm myself, another mod or QC member on Smogon/Discord. If you have any questions, ask them in #analysis-talk in the Smogon VGC Discord. After every check, you have 2 days to implement it. We are going to be stricter than usual with writing and implementing checks in a timely manner since Champions format rotations are much shorter than before.

Please note since the launch of Champions, "EVs" are now referenced as SPs and "IVs" no longer exist amongst other changes, more information can be found in this post.

Before reserving, please ensure you have sufficient enough knowledge about or experience using the Pokemon you have selected from the list below. Additionally ensure that you follow the analysis template correctly.

Hi! I'd like to take mega blastoise. Because it's a rewrite do I need to completely rewrite it or just change a few things? Approved to take this analysis, for a rewrite you may take the same points and examples from the m-a analysis (please write this analysis in your own words though) while adding relevant m-b meta trends and info, if you need any more help feel free to reach out/ping a qc member in #analysis-talk in the Discord server- rau

I'm willing to do Mega Gengar if you'll let me, I know I was a little slow with the scovillain analysis but I actually use gengar so it should be easier for me to write about it go ahead, try and get it done fast though because worlds is really soon - pengu

i’ll be claiming this in 24 hours if no one else swoops in
 
I've never written a Smogon analysis before, but would I be able to reserve Trick Room Support Farigiraf :Farigiraf::Sitrus Berry:? It's listed as normal priority but I'm familiar with how Farigiraf plays, team compositions they are commonly featured on, SP spreads, and common movesets. If I'm not allowed to reserve this, I'd totally understand, but there are no low priority analyses left so I figured I'd ask for Farigiraf. Yeah I'm cool with this, please ensure you follow the template correctly and be wary of the time since these ideally are all completed before M-C begins. If you need any help please don't hesitate to reach out on discord - rau
