With in-depth guides on the Internet, and primarily Smogon about how to use specific Pokemon in different tiers, we still haven't provided a lot of help for our own custom metagame, NFE.
Whilst we have our personal viability rankings (which are currently going through an overhaul, check back on them at the end of the week for the big update!), the council and I have decided to create analysis for the NFE metagame.
I understand that this is an extremely daunting task, so for now we are going to be concentrating primarily on the top tier threats, linked in this spoiler tag below (taken from a Google Doc, not the current rankings)
Although this is a lot more manageable, there is still a lot to cover so I am enlisting the help of all of you.
If you wish to help out, comment down below on a Pokemon that you want to write the analysis for, and you can begin writing straight away really! However, please keep in mind that this will require quite a bit of NFE experience, so if you don't think you're ready yet, try the metagame out more on our official Showdown server.
This is the stuff that needs to be included in the analysis:

This is the stuff that needs to be included in the analysis:
- A short introduction
- A minimum of two thought out and appropriate sets displayed in Showdown I/O.
- Talk about the sets and why you have opted for particular moves, EV spreads, items, etc. Damage calcs are always good as well, although try and keep them in spoiler tags
- Discuss Checks and Counters for the Pokemon you are studying
- Talk about Other Options that you could run for this Pokemon but may not be the best to run
- Wrap up the analysis with a meaningful, concise conclusion
