Hi SevenSins!

I noticed you still have this set as WIP and it has been idle for quite some time now. If you're finished, you need to go ahead and change the tag to Quality Control. If not, you need to wrap this up as soon as you can so we can move on with the C&C process for this analysis. If you're unable to finish this, let me know.

 

[Expulso]

Are you still working on this, SevenSins?

 

[SevenSins]

Ah sorry Goddess Briyella Expulso I'll get on it right away unless you already have another person doing it

No, go ahead. :)

Mention how it's immune to paralysis, and the speed drop from it.

 

[Lord Alphose]

I'm sure you were already going to do this, but remove mention of banned Pokemon, like Gligar.

This analysis has been reassigned and the new thread has been posted, so I'll be locking this one.
