NU C&C Index (Reserve Analyses here)

I've been testing this for some time and I believe Yanma should receive an analysis as it is a fearsome force late game because of its ability, Speed Boost. Although it lacks the ability to boost its own power, Yanma can take advantage of the many Baton Passing Pokemon and become impossible to stop late-game without strong priority attacks. Togetic is a great example of a pokemon that can effectively pass Nasty Plot boost to Yanma, helping it secure late-game sweeps.
 
Mmk, so I'm gonna make a case for Luxray cause raseri told me I had to it's in D rank atm.,

Luxury is a really strong mixed attacker with usable Speed and coverage that allows it to out-pace most if not all all defensive mons and most bulky attackers - most notably feraligatr. Also most people assume it's either going to be Guts or a purely physical attacker, which just helps with the damage it can do to teams if you opt to run a mixed set.

Anyway, being able to outspeed any feraligatr running less that 188 Speed [a lot of them, lol] allows Lux work as an offensive check to Feraligatr, as as after an intimidate Gatr does around 35% to Lux with a waterfall and luxray can OHKO even max HP gatr with Tbolt. Most of the time gatr is just scared out, and you can use voltswitch to keep up momentum as well. HP Fire / Superpower allows you to pick off Ferroseed after a Thunderbolt no matter what spread their running. It also allows you to break Audino, Probo, and lots of other Special walls weak to fighting. Hell, HP Fire even 2hko's plume if you can predict the switch.
And that's only the specially-based mixed pivot set I've been running. You still have a fully viable Guts set that hits like a truck, and potentially a defensive set with Baby-doll eyes. All in all, I think Lux deserves an analysis :)
