OU Pokemon Previews - Index, Rules, and Reservations

[Helias]

Scolipede is completed.

 

[Hypercut]

Can Kabutops be reserved? If yes, i'll reserve it.

 

[bobbyvaporeon]

Reserving Zoroark, and also asking if it would be ok to make a Ludicolo analysis.

 

[Shroomisaur]

Bisharp is now ready for QC!

 

[Epikhairz]

Roserade is up and ready for QC checks

first time pls dont kill me

 

[Gary]

Jolteon is written up and just a reminder that Goodra is up as well.

 

[Alter]

Wobbuffet is finished and Zoroark is in need of QC checks.

Crypto and I also wrote up Espeon earlier today over FB so it also needs a third QC check. Thanks.

 

[Helias]

I'll take Clefable. :)

 

[Gary]

I'll take Clefable. :)

Birkal already took Clefable. :/

 

[Helias]

Man, I knew I should've read through this before I posted.

 

[Ckarasu]

I'd love to do an analysis on Wigglytuff, as I see it as having some potential given that Sticky Web is a thing and there are plenty of Intimidate users. Competitive is just the thing for it, but am unsure if it's a good idea. So used to it having nothing at all........

 

[Mulligan]

WIP Moltres is up. My first analysis in a very long time, so Play Nice.....please? :(

 

[Jukain]

requesting pyroar be added to the list

 

[Ckarasu]

I'd like to do a page on Vileplume, as it turns out that it has a pretty decent typing in this metagame. Not only that, but it got a buff in the form of an extra 110 special attack.

Yanmega is another I'd like to do, as it has very respectable stats and can even carry Assault Vest to cover for its special defense issues, should it need it. The buff to defog also allows this thing to shine.

Naturally, both of these need to be added to the list.....

 

[Hypercut]

This evening i'll post Kabutops.

 

[Gary]

Quagsire is completed.

Ckarasu As a word of caution, please actually test out those Pokemon before making skeletons for them or requesting them, since your arguments for them getting previews are, quite frankly, hardly convincing at the moment. "Naturally," small buffs shouldn't make a Pokemon deserving of an analysis unless it is, in some way, actually significant in terms of how it's played.

 

[Epikhairz]

Can Rhyperior be added to reservations for me to reserve? Not only does it hard-counter Talonflame and Aegislash (among others), it can also hit hard and has a (somewhat niche) spot in the OU meta as a defensive hard hitter

 

[ShootingStarmie]

Salamence is done.

Oh, most certainly. When I said naturally, I meant that they'd need to be on the list before I could even think about doing either of them. That's how the process works, right?

Mmmm. Partly right. We could be convinced, but the majority of Pokemon in there were determined to have an actual impact. So yeah. Convince. If you've already tested prior.

 

[AccidentalGreed]

Also, apologies for the double post, but this is pretty important that I have to bump this up again:

We decided that all fully evolved Kalos-native Pokemon should receive an analysis of some sort in order to get a feel of what they can do, whether in an OU environment or not. Therefore, I have updated the unreserved section and added the following:

Slurpuff
Pyroar
Meowstic-F
Meowstic-M
Dedenne
Aromatisse
Gourgeist-L

(and yes, we are perfectly aware that in the future, there will be old Pokemon that exist to outclass these Pokemon, such as Infernape > Pyroar, and Clefable > Slurpluff)

 

[Dr Ciel]

Skarmory has been completed.

 

[Gary]

Jolteon and Gastrodon are done.

 

[lurkingSombres]

Delphox is up for QC checks.
