NFE is restarting analyses + reopening with minis!
As the generation nears an end, our priority is to have updated sets and analyses for most if not all of the VR. This applies to all metagames here but NFE in particular was out of QCers and in a hectic spot meta-wise till recently. We'll be reopening effefitice immediately and with nveryone welcome 5Dots, beauts, and Mirbro to the NFE QC team!
We're gonna start with the current S and A ranks on the NFE VR, so if you'd like to write, reserve any of those bar Marshtomp and Gurdurr as I'm currently writing them.

New AAA reservations are now closed, at least for the time being. Huge shoutout to all the writers, QCers, and GPers who contributed to us uploading 48 AAA analyses, including everything in the S and A ranks!
Writers with in-progress analyses can continue them.

Balanced Hackmons is re-open for analyses! Anything S or A rank on the VR is fair game! They will be doing mini-analyses, so please make sure to use the correct template from the reservations OP. Also, especially since several of the Pokemon have many, many sets, please remember you do NOT need to reserve the whole mon at once! Reserve whichever set(s) you are most comfortable with, and additional sets can be done later!
Please welcome the intrepid QC team!

Hello friends, several new updates as we head to the end of Gen8.
First, Anything Goes, Mix and Mega, 2v2, and Pure Hackmons are closed to new reservations so the QC teams can focus on finishing up what is in progress and getting sample sets updated. Already in-progress analyses may continue. We look forward to seeing new analyses up next generation!
Secondly, there are several Pokemon that still need analyses! If you are looking for ideas about what to write, please consider one of these! Note that this does not mean you can only reserve these pokemon, but it's where we want to focus. I will be trying to keep this list updated in conjunction with the QC teams, so please check back periodically!

With analyses up or in progress for all S- and A-ranked mons, Balanced Hackmons is now closed to new reservations! Thanks to everyone who wrote, QCed, or GPed! (in-progress analyses, as always, may continue).
Also keep checking out the hitlist right above here! It's updated frequently, including a new batch of STAB requests this morning!

Almost Any Ability and STABmons are both closed for the generation; special shoutout to AAA for having an analysis for every mon on the VR! As always, in progress analyses may continue, and thank you to every writer, QC team member, and GPer who contributed!
Also, Godly Gift will be closing to new reservations as well when the last three mons on the hit list are claimed; which has now happened, and we are officially closed! Thanks for making this such a successful start to GG’s time in C&C!
