The Format
With Series 1 being rather short, we're doing shorter analyses with a different format than you may be used to! Below, here's a "sample" analysis, and the actual onsite Garganacl analysis below it!
Sample Analysis
[SET]
name: Let's a go!
move 1: High Jump Kick
move 2: Dynamax Cannon
move 3: Victory Dance
move 4: Fire Punch / Ice Punch
item: Life Orb / Safety Goggles
ability: Shadow Tag / Arena Trap
nature: Jolly
tera type: Flying / Fire
evs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
* Use the first bullet for the most important part: quickly explain the main selling point of this set!
* If a move is obvious, there's no reason to give it a bullet. No reason to say "use High Jump Kick and Dynamax Cannon for STAB". Only mention them if its something that isn't self explanatory!
* Move choices can be worth a bullet too. For example if Ice Punch lets this Pokemon cover Dragonite, while Fire Punch beats Breloom, that is worth mentioning.
When you got other options to explain, give them specialized sections so players can make the decision themselves!
Tera Types
========
* **Flying**: Except to see this one a LOT! Tera Types are very important in this metagame, so almost every Pokemon will have this section, especially if the tera type is not baked into the set such as "Normal Dragonite for Extreme Speed" kind of stuff.
* **Fire**: Even if a Pokemon isn't getting at Tersastallizing, most Pokemon will still want this section, just because the nature of the mechanic can lead to weird situations happening in a match.
* **Fighting**: Some Pokemon have a LOT of viable tera options, including more niche ones to consider. Sometimes, QC might ask you to include these without slashing them in the set.
EV Spreads
========
* **252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD with Careful**: If a Pokemon has a rather non obvious EV spread, explaining it is generally worth it!
* **252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe with Careful**: Generally, only list 252 / 252 spreads if the Pokemon has multiple EV builds. Otherwise, those tend to be pretty obvious, and don't need any writing at all!
For Pokemon that have choices in other areas to make, these sections can also be included!
Abilities
========
Items
========
Don't forget the credits! How they work is: when you go to a user's profile, notice the number at the end of the address bar: that's the number you gotta put in!

Here's Garganacl's current onsite analysis, to give you an idea of this stuff in action!
[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Iron Defense
move 2: Salt Cure
move 3: Recover
move 4: Body Press / Fissure
item: Sitrus Berry / Figy Berry / Leftovers
ability: Purifying Salt
nature: Careful / Impish
tera type: Flying / Steel / Ghost
evs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
* With Purifying Salt making it immune to status and Salt Cure providing useful chip damage, especially against Water- and Steel-types, Garganacl is a dangerous defensive setup Pokemon.
* Body Press is the best option for consistency against offensive teams.
* Fissure severely punishes passive play against Garganacl, at the cost of forcing it to rely on Salt Cure residual damage against offensive teams.
Tera Types
========
* **Flying**: A Flying typing lets Garganacl take on formerly super effective attacks such as Earthquake and Close Combat while making it a reasonable check to most Breloom.
* **Steel**: Terastallizing into a Steel-type stops Amoonguss from clearing its boosts with Clear Smog and makes Garganacl a decent check to Fairy-types such as offensive Mimikyu and Substitute + Calm Mind Flutter Mane.
* **Ghost**: A Ghost Tera type gives Garganacl an immunity to Body Press, giving it the edge against Corviknight and opposing Garganacl, especially when paired with Leftovers
EV Spreads
========
* **252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe with Careful**: If using Tera Flying Garganacl, maximizing Special Defense is the best choice for easier setup.
* **252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe with Impish**: In addition to powering up Body Press, a focus on Defense makes setting up on powerful setup sweepers such as Dragonite an easier task.
* **252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD with Careful**: This EV spread allows Tera Steel Garganacl to avoid a 2HKO from Breloom's Mach Punch after Iron Defense.
