Hey, I like to see the first update!
One thing though, the "slashitis" situation.
In order to improve the overall "professionalism" quality of our analyses, we decided to make only one set of moves in the main move set, and then mentioning all the potential "/moves" in the other options section.
The only exception for this is in clear 50 / 50 situations, such as Hidden Power Ground or Hidden Power Ice on Yanmega. This "50 / 50" can be determined by the revamper, obviously, but we ask you use general discretion.
So yea, basically, choose one move for each of those / instances, and then mention the viability of the other move in [OTHER OPTIONS]
