2017 Pokemon Spotlight Reservation Thread

If you are new to writing Pokemon Spotlights, check over these threads before posting:
In this thread you may reserve the spotlight writeup for a Pokemon that you are knowledgeable about. If you reserve a Pokemon, someone will have to approve it before you have clearance to post the thread.

Reservation Rules
  • Post in this thread to reserve a Pokemon. Be mindful of prior reservation posts just in case the OP isn't updated.
  • You may reserve only one Pokemon at a time, and may not reserve another until your previous writeup is fully GPed.
  • Only reserve a Pokemon if you have experience with it in a given metagame.
  • If you need to drop your reservation, make an additional post instead of editing your first.
  • Our goal is to have a spotlight written for as many Pokemon as possible, but it is impossible for us to open reservations for every viable Pokemon in every tier. We previously experienced a backlog under this system. Instead, we will open reservations of a handful of Pokemon the QC teams have deemed important enough to write about at a time. If a Pokemon is not on the reservation list and you strongly believe it deserves to be spotlighted sooner rather than later, post in this thread with a thorough explanation as to why and a QC member will address it.
Analysis Thread Tags
These tags will not be available as prefixes like they are in C&C subforums, and instead will be added to thread titles by forum staff members

[WIP] - Work in Progress: The spotlight is incomplete and is not ready for the QC Team to evaluate. Keep in mind that the longer your spotlight stays in WIP stage, the greater the chance of it being put back up for reservation.

[QC] - Ready for Quality Control checks: Spotlights require two QC checks before they are considered ready for grammar checking. Make sure you update the thread title with the number of QC checks you currently have. Once you receive two checks from the QC team, either you or a mod will change the thread tag to [GP].

[GP] - Ready for grammar checks: Spotlights require one GP check before they are considered ready for publication. Only when a spotlight has received two QC checks can it be moved to the GP stage. Posts ready for GP should be linked in the Grammar-Prose Queue in the main SM Analyses forum.

[Done] - After the spotlight has received a GP check and the changes have been added to the writeup by the author, the Done thread prefix may be used to signify that the writeup is ready for publication.

**Update your thread's tags and stamp number as you move along the process.

Reservation List
After reserving a Pokemon, you must post your thread in a timely fashion. Your spotlight thread must be up within 72 hours (3 days) or your reservation will be opened to others. If you have any extenuating circumstances that prevent you from getting up your thread within this time frame, notify antemortem or P Squared. Pokemon analysis will be categorized under the following headings:
  • Unreserved: An unreserved Pokemon's name will be unformatted.
  • Reserved - Username: A reserved Pokemon's name will be blue followed by the person who reserved it.
  • Completed - Author / QC, QC / GP / Artist: A completed Pokemon's name will be green followed by the users that contributed to its completion. A published work will have a check mark next to it.
The below Pokemon are available to be written up. As said, we can't open up too many at once, so the tier and Pokemon lists are very limited.
