Probably not, it isn't completely out of the question but they had a number of difficulties associated with them and it'll be difficult enough as is to get done with analyses before gen 8

Also, should I give credit to am checks?
For information, I just note here that since my first post the classification of NFEs in PU has been clarified (I'm probably for nothing but I approve in any case the gait):Quick note: if we focus on PU mons "by use" (above 3,41% of uses), we see that there are 4 very used NFEs: Gurdurr, Ferroseed, Clefairy and Haunter. In the Strategy dex, they are rightly classified in the PU tier (so far no problem). On the other hand and unlike gen 6, other viable NFEs are not categorized as PU. Interesting comparison: Venipede in gen 6, which had a small niche as suicide lead, has a double categorization while Tangela in gen 7, which is much more used, does not even tier. Unless the policy has changed on this point, should not these NFEs be classified as PU?
For a complete overview:
• there are the NFEs already having an analysis (without categorization of course): Combusken, Kadabra, Munchlax, Murkrow, Pawniard, Servine, Tangela and Togetic;
• there are those who are present in the VRs but without analysis: Misdreavus, Roselia, Bronzor, Natu, Vigoroth, Dusclops, Hippopotas, Metang and Sliggoo;
• Type: Null is a special case because it's already classified as PU but it not very used (the problem does not arise for him);
• finally, Pikachu and Prinplup have a moveset but they are apparently not viable (I guess their page must be blank).
I don't know what the proper stats are, but I haven't bothered to check so that would help. However, even if headbutt shenanigans is its most popular stat on the PU ladder, the fact remains that Chlorophyll is the better set that accurately reflects Sawsbuck's best niche in the meta. Our aim is not to reflect the most common sets, but the best sets. Chlorophyll isn't especially good, but flinchbuck on its own wouldn't even be ranked it's so poor.pikanalysis doesn't have pu stats and i think it lumps nu and pu together otherwise the usage doesn't make sense
we are not making any set changes for this godawful pokemon and the qc team has much more important priorities right now including removing mesprit mentions and possibly including other set changes/revamps pertaining to the absence of mesprit and the inclusion of pokemon like ferroseed. the original analysis was also written as a joke and any set ledian uses will be severely outclassed no matter what so there's little point in touching the set at this point besides removing mentions of outdated pokemon.I feel like Ledian's current Analysis needs an overhaul due to the fact that the set does not play to the strengths of Ledian's stats and frankly is a little rude towards the pokemon. This set is to utilize the 110 base Spec D, the current analysis is only utilizing the physical attack as opposed to the higher
base special attack.
Ledian @ Assault Vest
Ability: Swarm
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- U-turn
>Assault vest to boost the already very good SpD
> Bug Buzz for high BP STAB and a check for the numerous grass and psychic types that are common (Such as Raichu-Alola and Tangela)
>Air Slash for the fighting types like Gurdurr, also solid STAB w/ flinch chance.
>HP Fighting for all of the ice, steel, and rock types in the PU metagame
>U-Turn to get out of sticky situations

No. We're saying in the metagame that exists, Ledian is too poor to be worth giving an analysis. If you want to exclusively think of PU as "for sucky Pokemon", then you'll miss the very real point that so is every metagame except Ubers and Anything Goes. There are relative levels of strength, and Ledian is well below that of PU's. I'm sorry but this critique just doesn't work.So, what you're saying is in a metagame made for sucky pokemon, you want to exclude this pokemon because you feel he's slightly more sucky.
Also Mesprit is mentioned in Chimecho Analysis along with Carbink's.
I may be sad about Ledi, but I'll still help w/ mesprit mentions scattered. Smogon First, feelings laterNo. We're saying in the metagame that exists, Ledian is too poor to be worth giving an analysis.

Also yeah Mesprit just left and we're going to work on updating our analyses but it'll take a while because there's a lot of stuff and Mesprit mentions are everywhere.
appreciated, but mesprit was S tier on the viability rankings, pretty much every analysis right now has it.All have Mesprit Mentions
(You can use CTRL+F to search for certain words)
Ahh yes I understand, thank you.appreciated, but mesprit was S tier on the viability rankings, pretty much every analysis right now has it.
it'll get done, trust, but there's not much merit in pointing out specific pokemon that have mesprit in their analysis at the moment.
while i can see the benefit of having a full heal on regigigas, the incredible cost of having to give it the z crystal of the team makes this a set i dont want to suggest to people. there are many, many better ways to use the z crystal so the opportunity cost of this set actually makes this an even bigger draw on the potential team than usuali don't think Regigigas' set is the most optimal one (relatively) in PU atm - I think Z-Psych Up is significantly better because it allows Gigas to have one time healing which is way better for longevity and actually allows Gigas to survive for 5 turns without solely relying on parahax.
if we do end up doing a rewrite with this in mind though i wouldn't mind writing for it
