Welcome to the official SM CAP Analysis Reservation thread! Here, you may reserve analyses for Pokemon that you are knowledgeable about and wish to contribute an analysis for.
The Quality Control (QC) Team
- The Quality Control team is responsible for ensuring that every CAP analysis is up to the high standards Smogon expects for its content. These analyses are being viewed by thousands of individuals across the world, so a high standard of quality is necessary.
- If the QC team does not think your analysis is up to on-site standards, they have the right to reassign or reject it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with C&C standards if you wish to prevent this from being the case.
- Likewise, the QC team will reassign analyses for inactivity, so make sure you're on top of your work.

- 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 analysis, post in this thread with a thorough explanation as to why and the Quality Control team will address it.
When you post your thread, please use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:
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: The Pokemon is claimed by someone.
- In Progress: The Pokemon's analysis has been posted and is going through the process.
- Completed: The Pokemon's analysis is complete and is awaiting upload.
- Highest: The Pokemon is a CAP and must have a high quality analysis before USUM comes out. 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.
- Middle: The Pokemon is relevant in the metagame (A- and A), but not as important to finish as the above ranked Pokemon. If you're an inexperienced writer, we encourage you to pick up one of these Pokemon.
- Low: The Pokemon is relevant, but not nearly as important to have an analysis for as the above three categories. As a result of the time crunch we're on due to CAP updates and the upcoming USUM games, we'll be actively rejecting requests to reserve these Pokemon until the majority of the other categorized Pokemon have been reserved or completed. If you're dead set on doing one of these, contact a QC member and give us a reasonable explanation why you should write the analysis, and we may allow it.
