Suggestions on Analysis'

I believe that the Analysis should be more 'fact based' and clear cut. I'll use this opener as my example:

Buneary's physical movepool consists of a good amount of STAB moves to back up its decent Attack while it's Special movepool contains a variety of moves such asThunderbolt and Shadow Ball, making Buneary a great Pokemon in LC. Buneary's original abilities such asKlutz pose some use in competitive play. However, Buneary finds some issues in Little Cup. Ghost-types such as Gasty and Midreavus make great switch-ins to Buneary's moves and can force it to switch while Fighting-types come in with their STAB Mach Punch to hit with some priority hard.Outclassed by many Pokemon like Kojofuu and Meowth who have access to U-Turn and useful abilities like Technician or Regeneration.
Informative for the most part but it really skimps out on key details. When I look at a analysis I look for...

Speed Tier: What tier is this Pokemon at, who ties with it, who are key threats does it out-speed, and can this Pokemon out-speed said threats without needing a +Spe Nature.
Key Moves: Strongest STAB, Stat Boosters, Phazing, and Coverage Moves
Who should/ can this Pokemon be switching into?
COMMON Counters/ Checks:
General Practical List

I believe that the first two are essential while the last two would apply to newer players.
 
The first one can be found in the Speed Tiers article because if we were to list what key threats a Pokemon can outspeed, it would make the analysis way too long (longer than it already is).

Key moves are given in each set's individual set comments. What you were reading is the overview, which is meant to give a general picture of the Pokemon without being as in depth as the individual sets.

Even a beginner Pokemon player knows about weaknesses/resistances and can apply those skills in battle to switch in on resisted moves/etc.

Counters/checks is at the bottom of the analysis.

Besides, what you were reading is the old Buneary analysis. The newer one is longer and more informative. Additionally, because it is LC and not the OU tier, it generally doesn't have as much information because of the lesser number of Pokemon that exist in the metagame, hence why there is not as much information about it.
 
There is a Speed tier article for the appropriate metagames; the analysis should touch upon the key Pokemon that the Pokemon analyzed outspeeds. Moves and usage of the Pokemon are detailed in the individual sets, and counters are listed in the Counters section.
