Oh, beaten to the punch in a PM I see.  Well, if you want to do it, it's fine. I'll just find something else to add to the list later...

List has been updated for Cataclyptic and Reevelution. Mea culpa, Reeves, I legitimately have no recollection of you asking me for those mons via pm but I'm probably just being forgetful so I will take your word for it.

Alright, after looking through everything taken and finished so far, let's add Chainite, Drilgann, Arbok, and Paraboom to my list.  That covers the remaining megas (minus Daikatuna's future mega), the other niche trapper, and the sound based powerhouse.  Kinda surprised they weren't listed already, actually.

EDIT: Let's add Nimflora to my list too, unless someone else would like to snatch it for some reason. I've recently been surprised by taking a second look at what it can possibly do, and it warrants giving it some attention as well.

Not sure I should write this here, but......

Looking at those great guides, I sometimes find EV spreads other than 252 252 4s, and confused not being able to understand the reason behind it. EV spreads like that usually have some intentions, for example, adjusting HP to take least damage from Sandstorm/Leech seed etc, outspeeding Yatagaryu by holding Choice Scarf, beating Inflagetah with single Earthquake, enduring Nucleon's Hyper Voice twice, and so on.

It really helps the beginner like me, who cannot understand these intensions, if those were included in the guide. Most guides I usually see in the original game have those, and it really helps to understand the intention of the set itself. And no, just in case, basically there's no point in adjusting Def and SPDef the same :p

Majungold set is done. Won't be able to do another analysis for a while because I'll be busy.

I can only talk about my own guides, but I believe that's the case with everyone. Those more specific spreads are intended to allow a given Pokemon to do something. For example, in the Mega Baariette guide I'm doing/revising, there's specific spreads intended to provide it bulkiness without sacrificing too much Speed. However, I should note that those spreads, I mean, at least mine, are temporary, as they could be changed in virtue of the forthcoming metagame.

I'm also doing similar with my Archilles guide.  I might go back and revise Seikamater and Laissure at a later point as well.  Damage Calculators are...a bit clumsy if you have to manually input all the info.

On second thought (and I can't believe no one's chosen this yet) sign me up for Astronite and I'll do it when I can.

I had Astronite, but I removed all of my queues since all of these analyses will most likely be redone from scratch.  Anyone who still wants to do analyses are free to do so, although their work will likely ultimately be scrapped.
