I don't see why not, but I currently am in the middle of another stupid argument on another forum, so whatever. Where should I put that? I don't see that in any of the other analyses (or at least the ones I've read), so I don't really know where to put that. In a third paragraph? |

I usually don't go through analyses and stuffs (for good reason, too), but I guess I might as well since I was asked... why was I asked, anyways? Anyhow, for the first set's description:
I don't think that this should be the first thing to be mentioned, especially when it's being called a last-ditch move. Move it further down in the description. Also, clear out the obvious stuff in bold. The reader should at least know what Explosion does. You may also want to talk about using it once you're sure of your opponent's team, as in you know that Mankey is dead.
I don't think the mention of Gyarados is really necessary. =S I think you should mention it as a good way to hit Murkrow and various Water types hard, and leave it at that. Also, I think it's whom, not who.
Magnemite's barely used, so you're probably going to want to mark Bronzor as the main reason to pack Flamethrower.
Again, get rid of the unnecessary stuff like what we commonly call Will-o-Wisp. You may also want to add a usually in "even if they do, they'll usually be holding a Toxic/Flame Orb)... or something like that. I dunno. I'm not particularly fond of WoW on Koffing to begin with, since things that suffer from WoW won't usually stay in on Koffing anyways, and you're usually better off just trying to kill stuff dead in LC. You may want to make a note of that. =S And... the last sentence is sorta unnecessary, so you'll probably want to dump that too.
Payback's sorta questionable, since Koffing's not really going to want to stay in on most Ghosts anyhow. You're probably going to want to make a note concerning how it requires fair prediction and a few damage calcs on common Ghosts to help present Payback as a good option.
All of this is pretty much unneeded, since it's really just stating the obvious here. At most, add a note how Koffing needs to stay away from Special moves and focus on walling Physical. I'll probably get on the next sets later. |

Done Mag. I asked you because I've seen you pick througyh analyses and you're pretty good at it. Its hard ot catch out things like that when I write it (for me, that is) because I already know how I want it to sound and sort of read over it. |

Why do you have calcs for Cranidos using EQ on Koffing when Koffing has Levitate? |

Cranidos has an ability called Moldbreaker that ignores the opposing pokemon's ability. So Koffing doesn't have levitate when facing it. |

They won't enjoy a WoW, Toxic, etc. But they do resist his attacks (Low Sp. Def hurts though). |

I don't understand how Rhyhorn could be considered a counter for Koffing. Sure it can switch in on a Thunderbolt, but it's not going to like Sludge Bomb with its 30 base Special Defense. And it's not like Rhyhorn can OHKO with anything. |

Rhyhorn resists every non-HP move Koffing could possibly carry and can do heavy damage with Stone Edge. Sand Stream is perfect with it. |

Shuffler and Spite sets are really not needed, they will not function in LC at all. the other 3 sets are mostly alright but could do with set comments being fixed up a little and in rains case Payback should be removed (no one is going to pass Koffing rain, however it is a decent user of it). For set one Elekid and Totodile calcs are not needed as you can burn both and hit them harder with Sludge Bomb. |
