:sm/salamence-mega: VGC C&C Regulation M-C Reservation Index :swsh/rillaboom:​

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.

I'd like to try the Gholdengo rewrite, though I understand if I get rejected due to its priority you may take it, i believe you'll do a good job - rau

what was i SUPPOSED to do i have the writing i just wasn't sure where to send it
sychic Terrain Sweeper Indeedee Male is one of the best psychic terrain sweeper in the game with expanding force and respectable speed. While its bulk is terrible, its offensive output and utility from Trick or Imprison Trick Room make it a flexible pick for hyper‑offense teams that rely on preventing Trick Room and snowballing early KOs.

Psychic Terrain Sweeper (Indeedee-M) @ Choice Scarf / Focus Sash
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
SPs: 0 / 32 / 0 / 32 / 0 / 2
Nature: Modest/Timid
Expanding Force
Hyper Voice/protect
Terrain Pulse / Mystical Fire/Trick Room
Trick / Imprison

Male Indeedee is one of the fastest and most aggressive Psychic Terrain abusers available in Regulation M‑C. Its access to Expanding Force, combined with a naturally higher Speed than its female counterpart, lets it function as a dedicated terrain sweeper that pressures teams immediately. While its bulk is terrible, its offensive output and utility from Trick or Imprison Trick Room make it a flexible pick for hyper‑offense teams that rely on preventing Trick Room and snowballing early KOs.

Expanding Force is the core of the set, turning Psychic Terrain into a massive spread nuke that outspeeds even Choice Scarf Basculegion when holding its own Scarf. This is the main selling point of male Indeedee.
Hyper Voice gives valuable spread coverage into Dark‑types that resist Expanding Force, letting Indeedee chip targets like Kingambit or Hydreigon without relying on single‑target moves.
Terrain Pulse is stronger than Psychic under terrain and bypasses Wide Guard, giving Indeedee a reliable single‑target Psychic option. Mystical Fire is niche coverage for Steels like Gholdengo or Mega Golisopod, but must be used carefully into Kingambit to avoid giving it a Defiant boost.
Psychic Surge is mandatory, enabling Expanding Force and blocking priority moves that would otherwise delete Indeedee instantly.
Choice Scarf is the preferred item, letting Indeedee outrun nearly every relevant threat and sweep aggressively. Focus Sash is the alternative for Imprison Trick Room sets, guaranteeing survival so Indeedee can shut down opposing Trick Room attempts.
The SP spread is fully offensive—Indeedee’s bulk is so poor that defensive investment rarely matters. The 32 SpA / 2 Spe allocation maximizes damage while hitting key Speed benchmarks under Scarf.



Male Indeedee struggles heavily against Dark‑types, especially Kingambit, Hydreigon, and Incineroar. Hyper Voice chip helps, but it often needs teammates to remove these threats.
Steel‑types like Gholdengo, Mega Metagross, and Mega Golisoppod can stomach Expanding Force; Mystical Fire helps but is not always enough.

Usually A Sneasler with psychic seed is usually seen next to Indeedee as it make Sneasler the fastest on the field by activating it's unburden ability but another amazing psychic seed user is Corviknight by giving it the psychic seed and making it use bulk up this pokemon becomes the bulkiest pokemon on the field while being Indeedee's best tailwind setter.

Armarouge forms the classic Psychic Terrain core and abuses Expanding Force even harder than Indeedee male.

Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill works great with Indeedee Male on the hyper offense sand team which is famous for winning Baltimore regionals.

Mega Gardevoir is another great option as it abuses dark types with it's pixilate boosted hyper voice while taking advantage of expanding force.
