Err... Yatagaryu ?

[Dragonstrike]

Heya, competitive players !

I really don't know how to say it (cuz i'm pretty tired  sorry for that ^^), but i've noticed there is no thread about Yatagaryu, wich i think have a great potential in competition ^^

So, if anybody project to create one someday, i'd be glad to read it and comment it !

And if anybody project to create one someday, well, do it ! JUST DO IT ! -breathes intensly-

(As i said before, i'm really tired, so if it's near to incomprehensible, that's normal, don't worry... I suppose !)

Most of the analysis  writers here have been holding back on the analyses for the time being because some pokemon are going to be going through radical changes in the future iirc.  Whether through buffs or nerfs to the pokemon themselves, or just changes in their movelists such as different power/accuracy for specific moves and access to egg moves.

Take Raffiti for example.  The 1.0.4 update nerfed Expunge heavily.  It's now a 110 power move with 70% accuracy.  Yes, it does have perfect accuracy in Fallout, but Raffiti will get mauled by Fallout, and the only pokemon that can set up the weather currently are the super niche Urayne and Xenoqueen, and only for 5 turns.  Raffiti's not doing any reliable Expunge sweeping any more.

I personally have an Archiles analysis that's basically ready to go despite that (we know Archilles's egg moves already, so that helps), but the 2 other writers I sent it to for review have yet to get back to me on it, strangely enough.  I might have to send them a reminder at this rate...

I'm sure someone will get around to doing Yatagaryu eventually.  Of course, we need to start posting the other analyses again too...

I got your analysis, Dragon ,its just that I've been busy and distracted by my life to have anytime to right up a detailed review of it. From what I remember, you did a wonderful job on it, and I could not spot any glaring grammatical errors (unlike my own). I am thinking about writing up an Anaylsis on the Pure Steel type Pokémon along with Winotinger, since I have good ideas for both right now. Whoever does Yat. has to keep in mind that what ever set it uses, it will probably end up in Ubers at the rate it is going....

Oh, and while Expunge has been nerf, it can still Sketch Atomic Slash or, if you tricky enough, Uranye unobtainable move Atomic Punch. It can also do tons of things with Baton Passing or Status, and Fire Blast+Earthquake eats everything alive regaurdless. Its still a thread, just one that has to be planned a little more differently.

Fair enough for Raffiti.  Those moves are definitely scary enough on their own as well.

And thanks for the quick response here for my Archilles analysis.  Helps me know I did a decent job with it.  Still looking forward to any changes you might suggest if you have any to provide.  Otherwise, I'm probably just going to post it fairly soon due to the drought (unintentional pun, I swear) of analyses lately.

And I totally understand the life getting busier part.  Got my first job recently so I'd have some cash flow for something later, and it's been eating my time like nothing ever has before.  It's easy to forget everything I wanted to do originally after a long day working.
