ZU is reopening! Old analyses archived; read regarding badges.

After a long dormancy, ZU is now reopening analyses. ZU will be following the new full format rather than previews. Currently, only some of the Pokemon have sample sets to base your analyses off of, but feel free to reserve other Pokemon on the new VR thread so long as you clear the set in the reservation post or WIP.

Regarding recently archived analyses, every analysis included unviable Pokemon in the new ZU meta and had to be archived. There is a silver lining: we ran it through the C&C leaders, and all archived work for ZU will still be considered for earning badges. It's a shame the writing couldn't get published in time for metas they were relevant in, but at least we can thank you for your contributions in this way.

Tagging all writers with archived analyses:

Poison Heal has been banned from Almost Any Ability! Given that this is a large metagame shift, AAA analyses will be closed until the meta stabilizes. Current analyses writers need to remove any mention of Poison Heal and update accordingly. Additionally, analyses in GP will need to undergo an Update QC after the section reopens.

Writers with AAA analyses currently in GP should update the title of their threads to the following:
[QC: 2/2] [UQC: 0/1] [GP: 0/2] - Not Updated

And once it the Update QC check has been implemented:
[QC: 2/2] [UQC: 1/1] [GP: 0/2] - Updated

We will keep you up to date with any information regarding AAA's reopening.

:ss/hydreigon::ss/latias::ss/latios::ss/slowking-galar:
Hydreigon, Latias, Latios, and Slowking-Galar have all been banned from Camomons! This is a big change to the metagame, so analysis reservations for this metagame will be locked for 2 weeks following this post to give time to readjust. In-progress analyses should update to these new bans.

This isn't a banned/new mon, but close enough.

When writing Godly Gift analyses, please refer to the uber/stat donor as lower case "god" (Kyogre is a dangerous god) or multiple of them as "gods" (Crawdaunt likes receiving Speed from fast gods like Mewtwo and Pheromosa). That is the preferred term/stylization by us and the GP team. Uploaded analyses have already been checked and corrected if necessary, but please make sure your in-progress analyses reflect this.
