Welcome to the SV LC Analysis Reservation Thread. This is where the community meets up to contribute competitive-ready information to be put up on Smogon Dex.

Refer to these resources if you are unsure of something or need further assistance:
Spelling and Grammar Standards (This is your biggest friend)
Guide to the GP Process (This will help you navigate through the GP Process for newer writers)
Plagiarism Guide (Don't do this. I will personally be enforcing this via infractions.)

Reservation Rules
  • Anyone is able to reserve one Pokemon at a time (This applies to badgeholders and QC members as well). We want to give many people a chance to write at the start of the new generation. However, due to the time-sensitive nature of C&C, if a Pokemon hasn't been reserved in ~4-5 days and you already have your analysis QC-ready, you will be able to reserve a second Pokemon on a special basis.
  • Those who have already shown to be trustworthy badgeholders and/or have prior LC writing experience get to write for the extremely high priority and most important Pokemon (may be subject to change).
  • Me, gali, and the QC team will be discussing and posting reservation slates for what is available to write. Each reservation slates will be put up on an ongoing basis, so be sure to reserve early to get the Pokemon you want to write about!
  • Once you figure out which Pokemon you want to reserve, post in this thread. Under the circumstances that the index isn't updated, be sure to pay attention to recent posts to see what's taken.
  • Do not edit your posts if you wish to uphold your reservation.
  • This should be common sense, but only reserve a set if you have a good amount of knowledge about it and experience with the metagame.
  • If you have written for a Pokemon in the past and are writing for it now, do not copy and paste lines from your old analysis.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not start a thread if your reservation hasn't been approved! You risk getting it deleted!
Analysis Thread Tags
When you post your thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:

[WIP] - Work in Progress: The analysis is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Please avoid making comments in these threads until they are ready unless it's something very important.

[Quality Control] - Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/2]. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have.

[Copyediting] - Grammar-Prose Ready: In the set title, include [GP 0/1]. The two required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for GP to check your analysis, please tag GP Team in your analysis so that the bot can put it into the queue.

[Done] - After the analysis gets a GP stamp, the analysis is ready for upload. Some analyses may need two stamps if the GPer requests it.

**Update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.

Reservation List
After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your analysis in a timely fashion. Your analysis thread must be up in 72 hours (3 days) or your reservation will be dropped. After that, you have 3 days to get it QC ready. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify a QC member via Discord. Do not reserve an analysis you don't have time to write.

Feel free to ask any questions to us in the QC channel of the LC Discord!

Slate #1! This is the first slate of SV LC and will feature the Pokemon that are decently high on the VR post-Girafarig metagame. As stated above, an individual can reserve one Pokemon only, but special circumstances may allow for two reservations. **Please wait for either me, gali, or Merritt to edit your post to approve it before you start writing** These analysis will require 2 QC checks + 1 GP check. QCers and GPers have the right to request extra checks/lower checks if the analysis is deemed a certain quality. Future slates will be posted on a as-needed basis. Without further ado, these are the Pokemon for the first slate!

High Priority - These can only be reserved by individuals with past LC writing experience (at least one mini analysis) and/or past C&C experience.

Gastly - Shandeur
Diglett - Drifting
Pawniard - Drifting
Toedscool - yellowfin

Regular Priority - These can be reserved by any individual.

Quaxly - uhBella
Crabrawler - TheShoddyStrawman
Mareanie - Flou
Glimmet - Charis_Akins

These Pokemon will be written up in the mini analysis format. Attached below is the format skeleton.

Slate #2! As stated before, an individual can reserve one Pokemon only, but special circumstances may allow for two reservations. **Please wait for either me, gali, or Merritt to edit your post to approve it before you start writing** These analysis will require 2 QC checks + 1 GP check. QCers and GPers have the right to request extra checks/lower checks if the analysis is deemed a certain quality. **New Rule: A writer is allowed to reserve a second Pokemon from a different slate if they have at least gotten and implemented a QC check on their first reservation (subject to circumstances as well)**

High Priority - These can only be reserved by individuals with past LC writing experience (at least one mini analysis) and/or past C&C experience.
Gothita - yellowfin
Foongus - Shandeur
Mudbray - Charis_Akins

Regular Priority - These can be reserved by any individual.
Nymble - uhBella
Deerling - Flou
Magnemite - gali
Surskit - TheShoddyStrawman

Anything cmon

I would be willing to make an exception and let you write Foongus, since it is relatively easy to talk about despite being a high priority Pokemon. Please reserve earlier next time if you wish to write about a certain Pokemon - DC

We're back with post-HOME analyses! Please read this post carefully before making any reservations, as the analysis format and process has changed:
- We will now be offering individual sets for reservation going forward; you will be able to reserve up to 2 sets at a time.
- Sets will require 2 QC checks + 1 GP check. QCers and GPers have the right to request extra checks/lower checks as needed.
- Once you figure out which set you want to reserve, post in this thread. Under the circumstances that the index isn't updated, be sure to pay attention to recent posts to see what's taken. Please wait for either me, DC, or Merritt to edit your post to approve it before you start writing!
- Please post at least a WIP thread within 48 hours of your reservation being approved, and please have it QC ready within 3 days of posting your thread! If you do not do so, the analysis will be dropped and the set will be put back up for reservation.
- Do not edit your posts if you wish to uphold your reservation or reserve an additional set.
- This should be common sense, but only reserve a set if you have a good amount of knowledge about it and experience with the metagame.
- If you have written for a Pokemon in the past and are writing for it now, do not copy and paste lines from your old analysis. This is plagiarism, and you will be punished for it.
- When you post your thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:

[WIP] - Work in Progress: The analysis is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Please avoid making comments in these threads until they are ready unless it's something very important.

[Quality Control] - Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/2]. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. The analysis should be fully written up before it is sent to QC.

[Copyediting] - Grammar-Prose Ready: In the set title, include [GP 0/2]. The two required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for GP to check your analysis, please tag the GP Team bot on your thread.

[Done] - After the analysis gets one GP stamp, the analysis is ready for upload.

- Future slates and/or individual sets will be posted on an as-needed basis as the meta continues to develop. The current slate is as follows:

High Priority - These can only be reserved by individuals with past LC writing experience (at least one mini analysis) and/or past C&C experience.

:voltorb-hisui: Offensive Pivot
:gothita: Trapper
:grookey: Choice Scarf
:drifloon: Mixed Unburden
:shellder: Physical Shell Smash, Special Shell Smash

Regular Priority - These can be reserved by any individual.

:shroodle: Prankster Pivot, Terrain Sweeper

:wattrel: Pivot
:zorua-hisui: Will-O-Wisp + Hex
:glimmet: Entry Hazard Setter
:foongus: Defensive
:numel: Growth Sweeper
:mudbray: Stealth Rock

[SET]
Paste the import from the set you reserved here!

[SET COMMENTS]
Set description goes here.

Paragraph 1
- the role that the Pokemon plays;
- coverage moves that affect its role, there's no need to explain simple STAB moves unless they're slashed;
- a description of the EV spread in one sentence or less; don't focus on "default" things like maximum Attack investment, do give reasoning behind the benchmarks chosen;
- an explanation of Tera types used and why they're beneficial.

Paragraph 2
- a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
- a brief example of foes that the analyses Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
