Finally, I'd also like to announce that the Trial QC process has changed to align more with the standard used for other NatDex tiers, check the reservation index thread for more information.

Oh, and badgeholders and official QC team members can now reserve up to 3 analyses at the same time, take it as a nice bonus.

Okay, with a recent VR update having already happened, combined with the metagame starting to settle again for the most part, there's a wave of analyses!

Exclusive to QC team members

The following analyses require revamps to fit better the current metagame, or are otherwise in a need of updates to the point a remake would be better. These are made exclusive to QC team members as these involve meta-defining staples of the metagame.

High priority:

- Zacian-C (Swords Dance)
- Zygarde (Dragon Dance)
- Eternatus (Defensive)
- Yveltal (Specially Offensive)
- Ho-Oh (Offensive)
- Marshadow (Choice Band)

- Arceus (Extreme Killer)

Low priority:
- Primal Groudon (Utility Swords Dance)

Analyses anyone that knows the current metagame and the Pokemon in question can take

Revamps/splits:

- Yveltal (Defensive, Choice Scarf)
- Necrozma-DM (Defensive)
- Mewtwo (Mega Y Wallbreaker, Tera Blast Fairy Sweeper)
- Calyrex-I (Choice Band, Trick Room Wallbreaker)
- Gothitelle (Trapper)

- Arceus-Dark (Utility, Stealth Rock)
- Arceus-Ground (Defensive)

New additions:

- Fezandipiti (Defensive Pivot)
- Kingambit (Swords Dance)
- Galarian Darmanitan (Choice Item)
- Ribombee (Sticky Web Setter)

Wish there was more to take? There's a few more analyses not mentioned here that are still lingering for anyone to take them!

Get them while they're still hot here!

For any questions for the potential sets or other concerns/insecurities feel free to DM me, aka, Bobsican.
