Welcome to the official USM CAP Analysis Reservation Thread 2.0! Here, you may reserve analyses for Pokemon that you are knowledgeable about and wish to contribute an analysis for.

Reservation Rules
  • You may reserve up to three analyses at a time, as long as the writer requesting to reserve this many is deemed responsible enough by QC to handle this many at once. Quality Control members may reserve more than this limit but are still expected to complete their analyses in a timely manner.
  • Additional reservations cannot be made until your current analyses are posted and in the written stage.
  • Post in this thread with your analysis reservations. Pay attention to the posts in front of you in case the list is not updated.
  • Do not edit your posts in this thread after an extended period of time. Double post if you wish to unreserve your Pokemon or select another one instead.
  • If a Pokemon is not on the reservation list and you strongly believe it deserves a CAP Metagame analysis, post in this thread with a thorough explanation as to why and the Quality Control team will address it.
Analysis Thread Tags

When you post your thread, please use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:

Work in Progress: The skeleton is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your analysis stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being reassigned. Do not be lazy.

Quality Control Ready:
In the thread title, include [QC 0/3]. Include (Revamp) or (Set Name) if the analysis falls under either of those categories. The format is Name (Revamp/Set Name if applicable) [QC 0/3]. The skeleton is complete in bullet point form and now needs to seek approval by the QC Team. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. ONLY WHEN YOU REACH TWO QC APPROVALS MAY YOU BEGIN WRITING THE ANALYSIS IN PARAGRAPH FORM, OTHERWISE THE ANALYSIS REMAINS IN BULLET POINTS. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE THIRD QC CHECK UNTIL THE ANALYSIS IS WRITTEN.

Grammar-Prose Ready:
In the set title, remove [QC 3/3] and include [GP 0/2]. The three required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for a GP check, please post in the Grammar-Prose Queue with a link to your analysis.

Done: After the analysis gets two GP stamps, the analysis is ready for upload.

Please update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.

Reservation List

After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your analysis in a timely fashion. Your analysis thread must be up in 72 hours (3 days) or your reservation will be dropped. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, please notify an active member of the QC team. Pokemon analyses will be categorized under the following headings:
  • Unreserved: The Pokemon has yet to be claimed.
  • Reserved / In Progress: The Pokemon is claimed by someone, the analysis has been posted, and is going through the writing process.
  • Completed: The Pokemon's analysis is complete and is awaiting upload.
In addition to these categories, Pokemon will also be order by how how important it is to get their analysis up.
  • Highest: The Pokemon is a CAP and must have a high quality analysis. If you are an experienced writer, we'll request that you reserve at least one of these. Due to the importance of these Pokemon, if you're inexperienced, we may reject you for these.
  • High: The Pokemon is ranked highly in the CAP Viability Rankings (A- and up), and are the highest priority to be written next to the CAPs. Due to the importance of these Pokemon, we may reject inexperienced writers for these.
  • Low: The Pokemon is relevant, but not nearly as important to have an analysis for as the above two categories. These are good analyses for new writers to reserve, though.
If a Pokemon's name is colored red, it may only be reserved by current members of the QC team due to the analysis likely being incredibly complicated.

The moderation team has decided to revamp the very old ORAS CAP analyses, which are horribly outdated now. While we realize that our SM analyses aren't finished yet, we're experiencing a bit of down-time due to Equilibra and various meta shifts because of it, so we'd like to start working on ORAS CAP analyses in the meantime.

You need approval from one of us to start writing, and make sure that it's in the Past Generation Analyses subforum.

CAP:
Aurumoth
Cawmodore
Colossoil
Crucibelle
Cyclohm
Kerfluffle
Pyroak
Stratagem
Tomohawk
Volkraken

Non-CAP:
Azumarill
Mega Charizard Y
Mega Charizard X
Clefable
Ferrothorn
Garchomp
Gliscor
Heatran
Keldeo
Landorus-T
Latios
Mega Lopunny
Magnezone
Manaphy
Mega Manectric
Mega Medicham
Mega Metagross
Rotom-W
Mega Scizor
Serperior
Skarmory
Mega Slowbro
Talonflame
Tornadus-T
Tyranitar
Weavile


Jordy
Jho
EternalSnowman
Rat With Wings

If you want to be on the QC team, feel free to PM me and we can discuss further.
 
TheJ3estPenguin if you don't mind, we'd like to hold off on this for a little longer. This is because the meta hasn't entirely settled yet and there's also still the potential Equilibra nerfing process that we have to be wary about. If nothing has happened with Equilibra, for 4-5 weeks after this, feel free to put up a thread if you still want to.
