Can one contribute an analysis?

Or do they have to be a Smogon admin.

I'm not a noob. >_>

It depends. Pokemon Analyses are mostly done - the only thing in that aspect we're looking for are NU Pokemon Analyses. At the moment we have only Nowen working on that.

Strategy Analyses are welcome, provided they actually give new information and tactical help. Things like the following aren't needed at all.

Exploder Guide

The following Pokemon learn Explosion: Mew, Mewtwo, Electrode, Exeggutor, etc

When to Explode: Well when there is no Ghost/Steel/Rock on duh!!!

Good support: Pursuiters, Dugtrio, Magneton

Counters: Ghost, Steel, Rock, Damp, Substitute, Protect

It's mostly common sense, we won't need that. A good idea to check what we need is the Analysis Suggestion Topic and the Edit an Analysis Topic.

Can I contribut some Eevee analyses? Because Eevee is one of the members of an eeveelution team. And some people use it on favourite teams.

How would I submit it?

 

[Mekkah]

There is no real reason to ever use Eevee in competitive play anywhere, so no. Novelty Eeveelution teams don't count. We don't need any new Pokemon Analyses besides the NU ones.

 

[Yohbilly]

Ah, then how would I submit a new NU analaysis?

1) Make sure you know what you're doing in NU.
2) Go to the edit an analysis thread.
3) Read every single guideline given twice.
4) Look at Nowen's example if it's still there, or just check NU Pokemon dex entries.
5) Pick a Pokemon. Make sure the original analysis isn't fixed by someone else already. If it isn't, write the analysis, applying the guidelines properly.
6) Do a grammar/spelling check if you can.
7) Post it in the edit an analysis thread.

If it's good, it will be put on the dex. If it's okay, me or someone else will fix it until it's good. If it sucks, it won't be put on the site.
