Generation 9 Ubers C&C (HOME Edition)
We've played tournament and ladder games, lost important games to a base 135 Speed tie and now we gotta deal with Taunt and Dragon Dance Arceus... but this is our HOME and we will write our thoughts on why our favorite Ubers-by-technicality Pokemon is secretly super OP. However, even in cringeness there's rules to follow so it all operates smoothly.
Newcomers to C&C are advised to check out the following guides to prepare themselves for the section:
Welcome to Contributions and Corrections
New Terms introduced in Gen 9
Gen 8 Analysis Formatting Tips (just as a rough starting point)
Plagiarism Warnings (just don't do it)
Spelling and Grammar Standards (make things easier for the GP team by following this)
Following up what we did up until now and the waves we made throughout Smogon C&C as a whole, we're continuing in the HOME metagame with Preview Analyses! This is to keep thing concise and to the point, especially since we expect things to develop further as the metagame matures and more hidden techs come to light. Below is an example of a skeleton of a preview analysis.

[SET COMMENTS]
- 1-2 bullets on moves / items / abilities if they’re not self-explanatory, no need to explain if not.
- Bullet on EV spread if it’s not 252/252
- Bullet on item and ability if it matters in calcs or how the Pokemon functions (see: Water Absorb vs. Unaware Clodsire)
- Bullet on Tera type and usage (if applicable) - would recommend keeping this one in most cases due to it being a new mechanic
- 1-2 bullets on general usage tips
- 1-2 bullets for teammates (if applicable)

Reservation Rules
- Anyone is able to reserve up to two SETS at a time. Badgeholders and QC members can reserve more if they wish (five being the maximum amount). After you get past the QC stage and go into the GP stage, you may reserve additional sets.
- Those who have already shown to be trustworthy-badgeholders or not- get to write for the extremely high priority and most important Pokemon.
- Me and Fc will be discussing with the QC team and be posting reservation slates for what is available to write. This means that you can't go ahead and write for a C- ranked Pokemon just because it's your favorite, you have to be a bit patient.
- Once you figure out which Pokemon you want to reserve, post in this thread. Under the circumstances that the index isn't updated, be sure to pay attention to recent posts to see what's taken. Please include the set you plan to write about, preferably in the format posted above (no need for a write-up or the credits, just an importable from Showdown works). If you aren't sure about EVs on a certain set, we have sample sets on the dex for that reason!
- 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 set if you have a good amount of knowledge about it and experience with the metagame.
- If you have written for a Pokemon in the past and are writing for it now, do not copy and paste lines from your old analysis.
- IMPORTANT: Do not start a thread if your reservation hasn't been approved! You risk getting it deleted!
When you post your thread, be sure to use the appropriate tags for each stage of the analysis:
[WIP] - Work in Progress: The analysis 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. Please avoid making comments in these threads until they are ready unless it's something very important.
[Quality Control] - Quality Control Ready: In the thread title, include [QC 0/2]. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. The analysis should be in bulletpoints before you receive your first QC stamp. After you obtain your first stamp, the analysis can be written up completely.
[Copyediting] - Grammar-Prose Ready: In the set title, include [GP 0/1]. The two required QC approvals have been met. The Grammar-Prose team now takes over. When you are ready for GP to check your analysis, please tag GP Team in your analysis so that the bot can put it into the queue.
[Done] - After the analysis gets a GP stamp, the analysis is ready for upload.
**Update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.
Moderation and QC Team
This subforum is currently led by myself (Lasen) and Fc. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
The QC team aim to stamp approval on previews that meet our quality standards. Our QC team is composed of the following members:
Fc (Ubers C&C Leader)
Lasen (Ubers C&C Leader)
Eledyr (Ubers C&C Leader)
Aberforth
corvere
Manaphy
ox04
SiTuM
Takatk
We will also add AMQC members here, contact me or Fc if you wish to join the team! Their checks do not give a stamp but it's a good way to make both the official QC team's lives easier and get things going faster.
Reservation List
After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your analysis in a timely fashion. Your analysis thread must be up in 48 hours (2 days) or your reservation will be dropped. After that, you have 3 days to get it QC ready. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify a QC member via Discord. Do not reserve an analysis you don't have time to write. Pokemon that have major roles will be reserved for experienced analyses writers who are badged [BH].
