Since he asked me to, I'm taking over 6tennis 's Mega Heracross analysis to implement the last QC checks and get it through GP.

So now that Rotom-H is awaiting a final QC check for its write up, I'ma reserve Mega Venusaur and Articuno.

Yeah Articuno... you may be wondering "why are you reserving something so obscure?"

The reason for that is because guess what: We're close to covering every major Pokemon in Battle Spot Singles, YAHOOO!

Before we pop the champagne bottles though, we still got about 5 months until Pokemon Sun and Moon hits (which is about 3 seasons of Battle Spot left), and previous gen analyses could come in handy for the Pokemon that don't change much. So I'm adding two things: Pokemon set reservations, and more niche Pokemon!

Here's what we got right now:

Sets

Mixed Mega Kangaskhan, Physicaly based Greninja, "Casinogar" (aka Hex + Hypnosis Gengar), and Special Defensive Talonflame

Niche Pokemon

Lapras and Amoonguss for now, more to come later!

Going to take Landorus-T, currently planning to cover Scarf, bulky Rocky Helmet and AV sets. Probably won't get it up right away, but I've been planning to eventually do this one if nobody else had taken it and it's the only high priority one left so...

Using some mod magic™ I got all the reservation threads in the one place, with Theorymon as the OP of them all! But because all singles / doubles / triples are reserved here, make sure you specify which meta you're doing when you make a reservation :)
 
Dusclops needs a Triples write-up. It's not good enough for other formats, but it's quite a threat (and a popular Trick Room-user) right now. It's absolutely a Triples Pokemon players should look both to and out for.

I'll do it if no one else wants to. It only has one or two sets, so it should be a quick write-up. Would want to cover the team archetypes it fits into and its pros/cons compared to other Trick Room-setters. The only thing I still really want to look into is the EV set commonly used in the Japanese meta (I can't imagine it's anything but 252 HP/SpDef, but I'll check). May also want to check what precipitated its usage, if anything.

Pinging Theorymon in the event this post doesn't already ping him.

EDIT -- Got all the information above. Apparently it placed in a Tokyo tournament last year and remains popular. Found reports.

(Triples cred -- Peak of 1781 in season 11, good for #65 worldwide, #3 U.S. (with #1 U.S. at 1810). Currently 1780s, within top 50. Have both used and played against multiple Dusclops teams. Not the best, but at least within the know.)

Asked Misaka about this earlier and she said I can take Magnezone instead since she hasn't gotten around to it. Technically could've done this sooner but didn't want to while I was away.

Editing this post bc I don't want to double-post here, finally taking over Thundurus-T from Misaka Mikoto as has been talked about before.
