I've already got Onix uploaded so technically I've written for LC before.
Gimme the Teacup.

That's about all its movepool has to offer. Keen on write a paragraph about bad movepool and outclassed by other ghosts and a second paragraph about team options having to compensate its weaknesses.

ok - Merritt

I would like to nominate Krabby as a potential pre-analysis. Although it faces competition from Corphish, its higher attack and speed allows it to have a good offensive presence even w/o priority. Plus, it has a BST over 300 and seen multiple wins in Ekans.

I think you forgot the setup part of your setup set!
 
I would also like to nominate Grubbin. Grubbin makes for a decent web setter with some good coverage moves and it can Volt Switch it's way out if it needs to. With Acrobatics, it can also punish Knock Off abusers.

After finishing Wynaut, I'd like to take Pancham, which despite not being in the list, has a decent niche of a offensive pivot packing a good punch with options such as Zen Headbutt to 2HKO both Mareanie and Oddish, as well as Gunk Shot to 2HKO Spritzee, coupled with both Thunder and Ice Punches to round their coverage. On top of that, Pancham forces both Ferroseed and Pancham very good thanks to its typing and sheer power to let both Diglett and Trapinch in to trap the opposing Fighting-type resist.

Pancham @ Eviolite
Ability: Iron Fist
Level: 5
EVs: 140 HP / 180 Atk / 100 Def / 52 SpD / 12 Spe

We're going to be closing reservations for preview analyses, as we'll soon be entering the stage of writing full analyses. A new thread will be created for reserving a full analysis in the coming weeks, along with a list of reservable Pokemon.

Thank you all for your help with the preview analyses!
