[SET COMMENTS]
In this section, make sure to include:
- the role that the Pokémon plays;
- coverage moves that affect its role; in this case, Earthquake allowing Abomasnow to defeat would-be Steel-type switch-ins, furthering its ability as a wallbreaker;
- a description of the EV spread in one sentence or less; don't focus on "default" things like maximum Attack investment, do give reasoning behind the benchmarks chosen;
- a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
- a brief example of foes that the analyses Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
- This section shouldn't be more than five or six sentences long.

NFE is restarting analyses + reopening with minis!

As the generation nears an end, our priority is to have updated sets and analyses for most if not all of the VR. This applies to all metagames here but NFE in particular was out of QCers and in a hectic spot meta-wise till recently. We'll be reopening effefitice immediately and with nveryone welcome 5Dots, beauts, and Mirbro to the NFE QC team!

We're gonna start with the current S and A ranks on the NFE VR, so if you'd like to write, reserve any of those bar Marshtomp and Gurdurr as I'm currently writing them.

 

[UT]

New AAA reservations are now closed, at least for the time being. Huge shoutout to all the writers, QCers, and GPers who contributed to us uploading 48 AAA analyses, including everything in the S and A ranks!

Writers with in-progress analyses can continue them.

 

[UT]

ORAS Pure Hackmons is now eligible for analyses, and is officially open for reservations! Any Pokemon that is S or A rank on the VR is eligible for an analysis. The QC team has elected to do full analyses, so please make sure to use the correct template, found here.

Please welcome our fearless new QC team!

Please welcome Daylight to the ORAS Pure Hackmons QC team!

 

[UT]

Balanced Hackmons is re-open for analyses! Anything S or A rank on the VR is fair game! They will be doing mini-analyses, so please make sure to use the correct template from the reservations OP. Also, especially since several of the Pokemon have many, many sets, please remember you do NOT need to reserve the whole mon at once! Reserve whichever set(s) you are most comfortable with, and additional sets can be done later!

Please welcome the intrepid QC team!

Hello friends, several new updates as we head to the end of Gen8.

First, Anything Goes, Mix and Mega, 2v2, and Pure Hackmons are closed to new reservations so the QC teams can focus on finishing up what is in progress and getting sample sets updated. Already in-progress analyses may continue. We look forward to seeing new analyses up next generation!

Secondly, there are several Pokemon that still need analyses! If you are looking for ideas about what to write, please consider one of these! Note that this does not mean you can only reserve these pokemon, but it's where we want to focus. I will be trying to keep this list updated in conjunction with the QC teams, so please check back periodically!
