I think it's pretty obvious, but just make sure to mention the tier.

Before I get into detail, the format needs to be fixed.

EVs are listed as: HP / Atk / Def / SpA / SpD / Spe

You need to actually write out the items, for example Oran Berry / Petaya Berry.

Otherwise you need to explain what the advantages/disadvantages between Oran and Petaya are, as well as expanding in partners (ie mention using "double ghosts").

Note: this cannot actually be uploaded until a full analysis has been uploaded.

Hmm, perhaps the full analysis is something that I could possibly look into in the future. The Oran Berry thing is fixed, but what exactly is the problem with the EVS?

 

[Heysup]

Yours:

evs: 112 HP/36 DEF/200 SATK/36 SDEF/120 SPE

What they need to look like:

EVs are listed as: HP / Atk / Def / SpA / SpD / Spe

You have the order right, but the format wrong.

Oran Berry / Petaya Berry needs to be fixed as well.

Things go x / y / z not x/y/z.

EDIT: Your EVs still aren't fixed. Please fix them.....

 

[ghost]

Ah, I see. Okay, the format is being fixed.

I want to test out Charge Beam over Calm Mind, i'll get back with results

 

[ghost]

The EVs have been fixed.

Lock this thread, please, because I'm redoing the content and putting it in a full analysis.
