Previous thread by May. Thank you!
This is the reservation thread for RBY Lower/Other Tiers! Read the stuff below prior to reserving anything so you know how things work around here (please). If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask any members of the RBY QC teams or me!

These moderators all have the ability to upload analyses. They will/are supposed to do a "last check" when uploading based off experience in the tiers.

...and that's it for now lol. It's okay though you can bother me about stuff whenever. To be frank I will probably not "last check" analyses in tiers I am not familiar with (Ubers, Stadium, Tradebacks) but I trust y'all.
Reservation Rules
Anyone is able to reserve up to two Pokemon at a time and a third may be reserved as well, but only until the analyses reserved prior are quality control ready first (this is not a hard and fast rule though). Badgeholders and QC members can reserve more if they wish.
Analysis Tags
Be sure to use the appropriate tags on your analyses. This subforum analyses does not have direct tags for the phase of the analysis, but rather for the tier. Therefore, if you are writing an analysis for UU, be sure to use the UU tag, for example. While this forum does lack tags for the phase of analyses, you are still required to put the correct phase in your thread title. Here are examples of what this means:
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 (again not a hard and fast rule, but try to be timely). If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify any of the listed moderators above. Pokemon analyses will be categorized under the following headings:
Unless your format is an OM, Pet Mod, or something similar, the most common reason for a lack of support is because we don't have a QC Team or applicable reservation list. We need these two things to make it work. The aim of this section is to release "definitive" analyses; we want to work towards this as much as you do!
So to get your tier supported, so long as it already exists on the dex, we will need the following sent to us in the form of an application of sorts;
If the format isn't established on the strategy dex — Retro-Tiers, OMs, Pet Mods, tiers that never got analyses — it's recommended that you contact the C&C Leaders (autumn, DC, or Estarossa ) prior to applying. This is to ensure it can actually be greenlit and follow policy.
Okay, with all that said, the following post will have the analysis progress master list. Thanks for reading!

Reservation Rules
Anyone is able to reserve up to two Pokemon at a time and a third may be reserved as well, but only until the analyses reserved prior are quality control ready first (this is not a hard and fast rule though). Badgeholders and QC members can reserve more if they wish.
- It's recommended to seek approval from a QC member prior to reservation.
- Once you figure out which Pokemon you want to reserve, post in this thread.
- Do not edit your posts if you wish to uphold your reservation or reserve an additional Pokemon.
- This should be common sense but only reserve a Pokemon if you have a good amount of knowledge about it and experience with the metagame.
- Lastly, don't post a WIP thread without a sample set listed at the very least. Ideally, WIPs should be posted within a week after reservation, but this is not a hard requirement. There is little reason not to post the skeleton right after making the reservation post.
Analysis Tags
Be sure to use the appropriate tags on your analyses. This subforum analyses does not have direct tags for the phase of the analysis, but rather for the tier. Therefore, if you are writing an analysis for UU, be sure to use the UU tag, for example. While this forum does lack tags for the phase of analyses, you are still required to put the correct phase in your thread title. Here are examples of what this means:
- Charizard [WIP]
- Charizard [QC X/2]
- Charizard [GP X/2]
- Charizard [Done]
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 (again not a hard and fast rule, but try to be timely). If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify any of the listed moderators above. Pokemon analyses will be categorized under the following headings:
- Unreserved: The Pokemon has yet to be claimed by someone.
- Reserved: The Pokemon is claimed by someone.
- In Progress: The Pokemon's analysis has been posted and is going through the process.
- Uploaded: The Pokemon's analysis is complete and live on the dex.
Unless your format is an OM, Pet Mod, or something similar, the most common reason for a lack of support is because we don't have a QC Team or applicable reservation list. We need these two things to make it work. The aim of this section is to release "definitive" analyses; we want to work towards this as much as you do!
So to get your tier supported, so long as it already exists on the dex, we will need the following sent to us in the form of an application of sorts;
- Someone of high credibility in that tier's community to form and run the QC Team.
- This should ideally be you!
- A list of QCers that'll form the team, ideally 3 or more.
- These QCers should have some notability in the community. Any evidence of such would be appreciated; testimonials, good posts, tournament results, etc.
- A list of Pokemon to get new analyses.
- We usually just go down the most recent iteration of the tier's Viability Rankings for this.
If the format isn't established on the strategy dex — Retro-Tiers, OMs, Pet Mods, tiers that never got analyses — it's recommended that you contact the C&C Leaders (autumn, DC, or Estarossa ) prior to applying. This is to ensure it can actually be greenlit and follow policy.
Okay, with all that said, the following post will have the analysis progress master list. Thanks for reading!
