Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright, me (being a rater) hate it when threads asking for help with their team is disorganized. It makes things hard to read and even harder to rate or fix. There were also some threads that did not have all the required information. So before making such a thread, please read this.

What you MUST have in your thread:
- Pokemon (What species?)
- Hold Items (If you don't include it, it'll be considered as none)
- Moves (No moves, no rate)
- In-game or Competitive (So we can set our expectations)
- Proper spacing (Putting a space between the Pokemon helps the rater read)

These are absolute musts. Most raters will not even bother reading if the moves aren't there.


What you MIGHT want to put:
- Ability (Usually when the Pokemon has more than one)
- Nature (Stating the benefit and the hinderer helps as well)
- EVs (Ignore this if you don't know what EVs are)
- Comments (either Pokemon-specific or overall team strategy)

These really help a rater fix up your Pokemon.


What you DON'T need to put:
- Levels (Most wi-fi battles are auto-level 100)
- Stats (EVs are fine, but listing the stats is a waste of space)
- Types (We know)
- Pictures (We know how they look)
- Multi-colour fonts (One colour makes things easy to read. Doesn't have to be black, but any single colour)
- Anything that wouldn't help us help you. (Like what you had for breakfast)

These are either a waste of space or make things hard to read. People don't like to dig to find what they're looking for. Don't make them.

To further help you, here's a template you can use:

Feel free to add or remove things from the template. Just remember the guideline and you should do fine.

Here's an example for those who want to see what a good one should look like:

Though it does not have to be exactly like this (this is a guideline, remember?), it'll help if your team is posted in a similar fashion.
