Due to a misunderstanding, OldAmberPlays’s Garchomp revamp shouldn’t have been reassigned, as he was granted an extension but Jordy didn’t know and reassigned it anyway. We hope these don’t happen again, sorry for the inconvenience. That being said, OldAmberPlays will have until the end of today to finish his revamp, but please do not post here asking to reserve anything before we do, in case it doesn’t get finished in time.
On another note I’d also like to reenforce the issue of plagiarism, it’s unnacceptable and we don’t want it to happen again, please read this post by The Dutch Plumberjack that greatly clarifies the entailment of plagiarism.

Recently, there's been discussion regarding fluff and unneeded information in analyses. Please read this if you're looking to write (or are writing) an analysis.
Common 252/252 spreads no longer should be mentioned in Set Details, whether these are offensive or defensive doesn't matter. Other self explanatory items and abilities also don't have to be mentioned anymore. However, if in an analysis, there's a more complicated spread than 252/252, it should still be explained.
Moves comments that say "strongest STAB attack" or something along those lines don't have to be mentioned anymore. Similarly, mentions that talk about a moves' mechanics (e.g: Swords Dance boosts Tapu Bulu's Attack by two stages, allowing it to break past passive Pokemon such as Clefable and Reuniclus.) shouldn't be included either.
We have also refined what can and can't be mentioned in Other Options. Only actually viable options with actual niches, that have seen play should be mentioned in Other Options. So, if a Pokemon only has a singular niche in the metagame, there's no need to mention anything else in Other Options. Furthermore, sets or moves that are unviable and have no reason to be used shouldn't be mentioned either.
Thanks to everyone for reading this, and thank you for writing as well.
