be the upgraded version of me
QC peeps got lists of Pokes with OU analyses on-site, and we must figure out what needs a full revamp and what only requires minor revisions that can be done by site staffers (w/o going through QC). You guys are free to provide input here. Ultimately, other QC people and I will make the final call. Please only contribute on the Pokemon / sets that you have play experience in the new BW2 meta. I will update this OP with my thoughts. The decision will be made by Tuesday.
