Thanks to @Lord Windos, I'm working on Chimaconda right now, and its soon to be uploaded in day's time.
EDIT: As much as I appreciate more competitive guide writers, looking at this list makes me feel... rushed. Many of you guys on the list have a long list of mons they wanna showcase on, but I hate it even more if they rush a project (Lets say, upload 2 or more showcases in 1 week) and give us a very simple, incomplete analysis. I know I did the same to my Escartress guide, but that was solely because it was hard for me to test it out when Online Lobby was extremely borked before the server overhaul. Will finish that guide up when I'm done with Chimaconda.
Needless to say, I really appreciate it if you guys took your time to write very detailed analysis, like what @Lord Windos, @Jabuloso, @Dragonstrike and myself did. I'm not saying that you should live up to such detailed expectations, but it does save the trouble of giving your showcases overhauls when you feel like its too lacking.
Shout out to everyone that has contributed so far! Once the Online Lobby is 100% fixed, the competitive scene will be where its at! ;3
Gave you Chimaconda and added S51-A under your name. If you want Gargryph, then you will have to ask jabuloso for it.

Add in max EV's to Speed and Sp.Atk/Atk? You got yourself a plage rat, baby. You could even run focus sash so that it can get a Free Shell Smash off, and then let it sweep to its hearts content.
I'll go over everything in more detail when I do my guide on it, but man that thing has the potential to be savage.
I was hesitant for a minute because people tried to do the same thing to Smeagle since gen 4 and failed, but due to the fact that the Nuclear type exists and Raffiti has actual stats... This thing probably has to go. There was a thing in gen6, Geomancy PowerHerb Smeargle. The basic set was Geomancy+ Baton Pass to an appropriate target and nothing could stop it, same with smashpassing.
Since Raffiti can do the same thing only with better stats, I say we at least ban Smashpassing and playtest with it a little bit more.
Smashpassing isn't even the problem. Raffiti can sweep by himself with Expunge, he doesn't need to pass the Shell Smash boosts on to anyone.
