[OVERVIEW]
Froakie has an extremely unique ability in Protean as well as decent Speed and amazing coverage. Froakie depends on OHKOing foes before taking damage, as it is very frail and outran by the likes of Gastly and Staryu, despite it having decent Speed. However, Froakie is outclassed as a wallbreaker by the aforementioned Gastly and Staryu, both of which provide much better offensive and defensive utility.

[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to make Froakie become an offensive pivot with its decent coverage and U-turn. However, Froakie is outclassed in this role by Gastly and Staryu, as both of them provide better offensive and defensive utility. Gastly has useful Normal- and Fighting-type immunities while Staryu has has Analytic to punish switch-ins.

[OVERVIEW]
Froakie's niche is as niche as it can be. Froakie has an extremely unique ability, Protean(,) add comma while having decent speed and really amazing coverage. However, its flaws outweight outweigh the positives. Froakie depends on OHKOing foes before taking damage, as it is very frail and despite having decent speed, it is outran by the likes of Gastly and Staryu. Froakie is outclassed as a wallbreaker by Mienfoo isn't a great wallbreaker in this meta Mienfoo and the aformentioned the aforementioned Gastly and Staryu who both provide much better offensive and defensive utility.

This set attempts to make Froakie become a wallbreaker with its decent coverage and pivot qualities. However, Froakie is outclassed by that role by Mienfoo Gastly and Staryu, both provide better offensive and defensive utility. Mienfoo has Regenerator for much better pivot qualities and Gastly has useful Normal and Fighting-type immunities while Staryu is much faster and has Analytic to punish switch ins. has Natural Cure and Analytic, former making it a good status absorber and latter does alot of damage when the opponent is forced out

For whatever reason, the sample you probably took from has incorrect credits. For pseudos, 2 QC checks and 1 GP check is required. Make sure to have that extra bracket ( ] ) at the end. Also add a space after your name, between the numbers.

[OVERVIEW]
Cut the second sentence altogether, start the former third with a "However,". Rephrase to say that it has "only" decent speed and is outpaced by [...].

[SET]
Fix your EVs, as this set is not running HP Grass.

[SET COMMENTS]
Calling Froakie a wallbreaker isn't accurate, it's an offensive pivot. Explicitly state U-turn, don't call it "pivot qualities". Mention somewhere that both Gastly and Staryu have better offensive utility due to having higher Speed.

another one of those cases i never got tagged for this, Estronic is the MVP. this is done after 5 months LOL. good job
 
When I said fix your EVs I meant to fix your EVs.

The spread you had on the set left Froakie at 16 Speed. HP Fire, since it reduces the Speed IV as you noted on your set, requires 192 Spe EVs in order to hit 17 Speed. 188 does not manage it.

I've fixed this and uploaded the analysis. Please make sure to implement all future QC checks fully.
