[Gen 7] Spotlight Reservations and Schedule

Status
Not open for further replies.
You are required to read the Intro to Facebook Spotlights before making any reservations.

Who can suggest sets here?
Active users on the QC teams of their respective metagames (C&C or TFP). They should discuss sets worth spotlighting and post them by the start of the month.
Keep in mind that our social media audience does include a lot of casuals / noobs who like to see cool, less common Pokemon, so if there is a viable Pokemon that also happens to be popular like Flygon or Gallade, that would be a good suggestion. As long as they are actually good in the metagame!
Also, make sure your suggested set hasn't already been done. There is an archive of already completed set spotlights at the bottom of this post.

Who can reserve sets here?
Anyone. But obviously, make sure you have the sufficient knowledge to write a good spotlight.
You can only reserve one set spotlight at a time. Once your spotlight has been PUBLISHED, not just finished, you can reserve another one.

Review of the writing process
1. Reserve a set in this thread.
2. Once I have approved your reservation, post a thread for your set spotlight.
3. Get ONE QC check and ONE GP check. QC can come from someone on the respective metagame's QC (C&C or TFP) or VR team; tag your favorite one once you're ready for QC. GP comes from the GP team as usual, so post in the GP Queue.
4. You're done! Please mark your thread with the DONE tag so I know it's ready to be scheduled.
5. Okay, you're not really done. I still can't post everything immediately, so if your spotlight somehow becomes outdated (usage stats come out; Pokemon gets banned) in the time between you finishing and me uploading it, you need to let me know asap.

And now, what you've all been waiting for.

Reservations
Sets bolded and without a name next to them are available for reservation. You're more than welcome to take them!

I advertised this in the UU discord so hopefully UU mons get more of a spotlight.

Anyway, I'd like take a shot at suggesting and writing Pursuit trapping Alolan Muk (UU C&C leader so shouldn't be an issue).

ya - p^2
