Every Pokemon that is in ZU can receive a ZU analysis. This includes completely unviable Pokemon which cannot drop any further because we are the lowest tier. For these dozens of fully evolved but unviable Pokemon which are untiered, we will be doing mini-analyses rather than the full ones you're used to. This is because they aren't worth the effort that goes into actually viable Pokemon, plus the smaller analyses can suggest that these Pokemon just aren't really worth using. However, it's still good to have a set for every single Pokemon because people still look for guidance on how to use unviable Pokemon and the least we can do is provide their most optimal set. Here's how they'll be different

1. Mini-analyses only need 1 QC check and 1 GP check
2. Mini-analyses have a different skeleton (see below)
3. Since these are smaller and easier than regular analyses, you can take up to 5 at a time.

[OVERVIEW]
**A few sentences here should immediately establish WHY the Pokemon is not viable (poor stats/no movepool/awful typing/fully outclassed/a combination of these). If applicable, give at least a few Pokemon that outclass it and explain why.**

[SET]
**You can find these ones on the smogdex, if you don't, you can shoot me a pm on smogon or on discord**
name:
move 1:
move 2:
move 3:
move 4:
item:
ability:
nature:
evs:
ivs: (optional)

[SET COMMENTS]
**This should be 2-3 sentences:
- One sentence should be enough to briefly outline what this set attempts to do.
- If the Pokemon isn't fully outclassed but still unviable, such as in the case of Runerigus, you can describe why; fully outclassed Pokemon, such as Sudowoodo, do not require another sentence here.
- The last sentence should describe why the set isn't worth using; reiterate which Pokemon outclass it.
There is NO NEED TO ELABORATE ON SPECIFIC MOVES/EVs/ETC. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL ANALYSIS.**

We will NOT be doing any joke analyses.
