PD's OU Analysises and Articles

[Kirby]

Before we go to any other tier or metagame, first comes OU, it's top proirity.

Basically, choose a pokemon and write how it works in battle in the OU metagame. You can write an analysis for a pokemon outside of OU if it has a niche, just be sure to post here to ge the ok.

In this thread just post what your doing and after approval by me, pants, or max, go and write it. Also you can discuss and debate what pokemon should get analysises and if some need redoing.

In the threads themselfs, offer suggestions, go grammar checks, and stuff. Each thread will need at least one grammar check before it is done.

The format should look like this:

Overview

Set Name
Pokemon @ Item / Other Iteam
Ability: Name of Ability
Evs: In this format (252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe)
Ivs: (don't add this is not needed)

-Move 3
-Move 4

Set Comments:
-How it works
-In detail move choiceage

Additional Comments:
-Evs
-Items
-Natures
-Specific threats
-Team support

(add as many sets as you need)

Team Options:
-general team support
-problems cna how to fix them basically

Other Options:
-off beat sets
-gimicky sets
-lesser used moves, items, and natures
-do not add here if completely useless, for example don't write about water gun

Checks and Counters:
-what beats it 100% of the time
-what works to beat it most of the time
-last ditch pokemon to deal with it

I would like to reserve:

-Dragonite
-Landorus
-Blissey
-Rain

I may write more analysis/articles later on. For now I am sticking to these.

EDIT: I have an idea for this as well. In order for an analysis to be truely done, it must me approved by both me and Kirby. Also, if you are done with your analysis, need a grammar check, or have any major updates for them, post those here so Kirby can update the list. (Kirby add this to the Original Post if you want.)

[Kirby]

Max if you need help with rain - stall, I am willing to aid you.

[Max21]

Thanks for the offer kirby. I may consult you in terms of rain stall.

I also suggest that we add dream world sections to each analysis out lining the dw ability and stating how it does with the pokemon.

For the sake of professionality you may want to note that the plural of analysis is 'analyses'.

Noted. Thank you

[Kirby]

We need to add more then just the dream world ability information but also how it works in DW too. For example Forretress works great in dream world to spam entry haxards thanks to sturdy + custap berry, it will always get 2 layers of whatever up.

UPDATE: I have finished the Blissey Analysis and it is ready for QC checks.

A quick question: Call me a noob, but how do I change a threads title? Cause I want to change the [RESERVED] tag to the [QC] tag. -_-

[Kirby]

PD sucks, you can't...

[Max21]

PD sucks, you can't...

[Kirby]
