Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Rarely use this account for anything, but wanted to say how great it is to see a post like this.
As someone who started in Gen 7, something I was instantly reminded of reading this was Flyinium-Z Gyarados in 2017, a relatively important staple in the metagame. Gyarados itself is probably one of...

Personally agree with earlier posts stating we should have rotating formats for the older slots. Love all 3 of the Gen 7 formats but would prefer to play them all across the weeks instead of just one. Would be interested to see No Max No Ursh as a format who cares that its not official lol.
Yo, couple more changes:
-Add something about Protect in your Set Comments. It's pretty obvious to determine why you'd use Protect, but still list why it's important for Rayquaza to use it considering some sets do not.

Good revision, just a couple more edits:
- While Porygon2's only weakness is very uncommon in the metagame, Fighting-type Pokemon like Hariyama, Pheromosa and Buzzwole can cause it plenty of trouble. (Pretty easy to figure out P2's weakness but should still be stated nonetheless.)
- Its main...
Good post, however there are a couple additional things I think you can address:
-Add Analytic to the Set and mention it as an option over Download in the Set Comments. Players chose it as a more consistent ability vs Download, as it helps deal strong damage against faster Pokemon like Garchomp...

Kartana is a monstrously strong as well as fast attacker that, thanks to Beast Boost, can become even scarier as it racks up Attack boosts with each KO inflicted. Even with its limited attacking toolkit, rarely running more than just Leaf Blade and Sacred Sword, it still manages to...
[OVERVIEW]
Thanks to its excellent respectable base 125 Attack combined with powerful moves like Double-Edge and Low Kick, Mega Kangaskhan establishes itself as a potent attacker in VGC 2019. Additionally, its access to the fastest viable Fake Out, as well as other utility moves like Roar and...
