The Format

With Regulations being rather short, we're doing shorter analyses with a different format than you may be used to! Below, here's a "sample" analysis.

Sample Analysis

[SET]
name: Let's a go!
move 1: High Jump Kick
move 2: Dynamax Cannon
move 3: Victory Dance
move 4: Fire Punch / Ice Punch
item: Life Orb / Safety Goggles
ability: Shadow Tag / Arena Trap
nature: Jolly
tera type: Flying / Fire
evs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

* Use the first bullet for the most important part: quickly explain the main selling point of this set!

* **Label your bullet points!**: Anything after the first bullet point should be labeled. If you're justifying a move, then name the bullet point after the move. If it's about an single EV spread, important mechanic, or teammate, then come up with a label that best describes the topic!

* **No need to talk about obvious stuff**: If a move is obvious, there's no reason to give it a bullet. No reason to say "use High Jump Kick and Dynamax Cannon for STAB". Only mention them if its something that isn't self explanatory!

* **Fire Punch versus Ice Punch**: Move choices can be worth a bullet too. For example if Ice Punch lets this Pokemon cover Dragonite, while Fire Punch beats Gholdengo, that is worth mentioning. use "versus" to get the point across that you're picking between certain moves.

* **Mario's Goomba Stomp Strategy**: Not every Pokemon needs this, but if there's a REALLY specific and important thing to say about a Pokemon, you can label it in a descriptive way. Think stuff like needing neutral natures + mints for trick.

Other Options
========

* **Put viable moves that don't fit on the moveset here**: Other Options is finally back! This is for moves that do exist / are viable, but are tough to fit in for whatever reason. Feel free to describe why the move can be harder to justify too.

* **Not everyone Pokemon needs this section!**: If you listed all the viable stuff, no need to scrape the bottom of the barrel, just don't include this section then!

Tera Types
========

* **Tera Dependency - (insert category here)**: Here, spend 1-2 sentences explaining how important Terastallization is to this set! While certain Pokemon may require special custom stuff, these categories in the hide tag should cover most Pokemon!

Tera Dependency - High: This is for Pokemon that often need to Terastallize for their set to function. Think stuff like AV Pokemon weak to Flutter Mane, or just bad typings in general.

Tera Dependency - Medium: The middle ground, Pokemon that often Terastallize to fix some problems, but generally don't need it to work.

Tera Dependency - Low: These are for Pokemon that are totally fine with not Terastallizing, but can still benefit from it at times.

Tera Dependency - Very Situational: These are for the rare Pokemon that usually almost NEVER Terastallize except for special edge cases.

Tera Dependency - Almost Required: These are for the rare Pokemon that REALLY need to Terastallize, or their set just doesn't work. Think stuff like Pokemon that need Terastallization to have an effective STAB, or have some sort of key coverage move the set NEEDS to function.

* **Flying**: Except to see this one a LOT! Tera Types are very important in this metagame, so almost every Pokemon will have this section, especially if the tera type is not baked into the set such as "Normal Dragonite for Extreme Speed" kind of stuff.

* **Fire**: Even if a Pokemon isn't getting at Tersastallizing, most Pokemon will still want this section, just because the nature of the mechanic can lead to weird situations happening in a match.

* **Fighting**: Some Pokemon have a LOT of viable tera options, including more niche ones to consider. Sometimes, QC might ask you to include these without slashing them in the set.

EV Spreads
========

* **252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD with Careful**: If a Pokemon has a rather non obvious EV spread, explaining it is generally worth it!

* **252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe with Careful**: Generally, only list 252 / 252 spreads if the Pokemon has multiple EV builds. Otherwise, those tend to be pretty obvious, and don't need any writing at all!

For Pokemon that have choices in other areas to make, these sections can also be included!

Abilities
========

Items
========

Minor Optimizations
========

This is a small new section that isn't actually required, but the idea is simple: just mention really minor things that make a Pokemon fully "optimal", without being 100% needed. Note that if it actually IS something important, don't put it here!

* **Female Gender**: For example, a female gender is often optimal on Pokemon with contact moves for the very rare Cute Charm Enamorus!

* **0 Attack IV / Special Attack IV**: For Pokemon that aren't weak to Foul Play, this is still a decent thing to bring up. Even more rarely, some Pokemon want low Attack IVs for Charm Flutter Mane.


* **Neutral Nature**: This is for Trick Pokemon, so they can eat any berry without getting confused!

:sv/heatran: RESERVATIONS:sv/cresselia:

When reserving a Pokemon, keep this stuff in mind!

  • If you aren't a QC member / a mod, your reservation has to be approved! I'll give it a like. In general, stick to the Pokemon up for reservation. If you feel like a Pokemon not on here should be up for reservation, make a case for it in the analysis discussion thread!

  • Try to get your analysis to the QC stage when its reserved ASAP. For each day you wait, I'll bug you more, and may even yank the analysis if there's 0 progress without reason!​

  • While you are free to do all the sets in a Pokemon's analysis, you DON'T have to! For some very versatile Pokemon such as Landorus-T, doing all the sets can be quite troublesome, so feel free to just reserve SOME sets of 1 Pokemon! That being said, please only reserve 1-2 Pokemon at a time!

  • REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT OU! OU and Battle Stadium Singles are drastically different metagames, even if they sometimes share similar casts of threats. If your analysis looks like its written with OU in mind, it'll be reassigned right away!​

  • Once your analysis is posted, it needs 1 QC check and 1 GP check for it to go onsite! You need to make the changes QC and GP request of you to get stuff onsite!

  • If a totally new set gains traction in the Pokemon discussion, we'll put the set up for reservation here. Reserve it, and simply make a new thread for it!

Um, I would reserve Regieleki. But I would 1st like some feedback on previous ones I did. If I botch them too highly there's no point to do it, but if I have a shot, this is a mon I like that's actually common, or at least ish.
 
I made a little mistake in the opening posts: I forgot to mention that 2 Pokemon at a time can be reserved now! This is what I get for posting stuff while sleepy lol.

Anyways, the other mon I think I'll do for now is Urshifu-R, since that's been on almost every team I've tested so far!
 
Well now that Urshifu-R is ready... I might as well do the Pokemon it bullies pretty hard, Kleavor!
 
Time for me to get out of my shell of playing too much Mario then getting sick: I'll be doing Hisuian Goodra next!
 
As mentioned in the former thread, Aqua Jet had some real life stuff come up and had to drop Regieleki, so I'll be taking it over now that I 100%ed Pikmin 4! (Excellent game btw, grab it!)
