Preview-length analyses should get across a general idea of what the set does but be nowhere near as extensive as an Overview in a traditional analysis. Explain any relevant coverage moves and slashings in the set. A couple examples of relevant teammates should be included too.

[OVERVIEW]
In the Overview, you want to generalize what the Pokemon in question accomplishes in the metagame and where it stands. You will also want to cover its drawbacks and anything else that may hold it back. This should be a pretty basic recap of the Pokemon; the Overview typically does not need to be much longer than seven or eight sentences, though of course this varies from Pokemon to Pokemon and compromises can be made.

[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
====
The Set Comments section will often consist of two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should go over the specifics of this set. What are the purposes of the moves, item, ability, and nature + EVs? There is no need to talk about basic STAB moves, useless abilities, or simple EV spreads like 252 / 4 / 252.
In the second paragraph, you should talk about potential teammates and what makes them useful. Cover Pokemon that can patch up the analyzed Pokemon's weakness and mention Pokemon that benefit from the analyzed Pokemon's presence.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====
In the Other Options paragraph, you can note any other options that are useable yet not considered viable enough to be mentioned in the Set Comments. If there are none, feel free to keep this empty. Trying to fill this paragraph with bad options for the sake of it is detrimental to the user reading the analysis's experience.
Checks and Counters
====
**Insert Threat Here**: You should describe why the Pokemon is a threat. Please do keep in mind that it is often easier to insert whole typings and then specify the Pokemon of such type that are threats; this makes it much easier to keep track of this section for the audience.
