XY OU Analysis Reservation Index - READ CAREFULLY (MAKING A NEW THREAD)

Both Mandibuzz and Bisharp are written and awaiting their 3rd QC checks!

I'll go ahead and reserve Moltres now, since the poor thing is being horribly ignored :( Don't worry Moltres, I'll save you!
 
Does Umbreon deserve an analysis? Faces competition from Mandibuzz and I guess Ttar but it has a lot of cool things to play around with like Wish, Heal Bell, Yawn, etc that allows it to fulfill a better *support* role, unlike Mandi who's more of a pivot and Tar who's more of a tank. Also it lacks Mandi's Volt Switch and SR weakness while having significantly higher SpD, as well as lacking Tar's Water weakness and boasts recovery over it too. Plus thanks to Heal Bell it isn't screwed over by status like the other two are. Faces competition from Sylveon too but Umbreon actually has existent physical bulk and has a positive matchup against mons like Gengar.

I'm not sure. Its Fighting and Bug weaknesses kind of screw it over.
 
Does Swellow merit an analysis? It's the second-fastest Defogger (behind only Crobat) and its offensive power can reach great heights with STAB Guts Facade. Of course, all its stats beyond Attack (85) and Speed (125) are crap.
