So, as a whole, a Rotom Form is 9th most used pokemon in the game. I would have thought it would be higher, it's a great counter to a CB Scizor locked on Bullet Punch, and Scarfed Rotom-H is about the only counter to a SD Lucario, besides Gengar.
Speaking of Scizor, it's fallen a little in useage. From 29.14% to 28.76%. Salamance has gained about 0.5% useage, roughly what Scizor lost...
In fact, the only top 10 pokemon from last month who have gained useage (And only a small amount) are Salamance, Lucario (Who jumped 3 spots, due to others falling) and Gengar (Up from 10th to 9th). The is a sign that OU is becoming more balanced.
Latias is out of the Top 10. And it was once Uber...
The group of pokemon above 10% stays at 15 this month as well, if you don't count Rotom-A.
What interests me is this:
45th: Heracross (OU)
46th: Porygon Z (OU)
47th: Umbreon (Recently Promoted to OU)
48th: Porygon2 (UU)
49th: Rhypieror (OU)
50th: Alakazam (OU)
51st: Roserade (UU)
52nd: Rotom-C (OU)
53rd: Dugtrio (UU recently)
...
60th: Rotom-W (2nd Lowest OU)
108th: Rotom-F (Lowest OU)
I'm not counting Rotom-W, who is 100% not OU
What does this show? The highest UU there is Porygon2, above 3 OU pokemon, and just below Umbreon, who is also OU. This means several things:
1: The 'border' of OU and UU is somewhere around here, as there is a mix of OU and UU.
2: Either Porygon2 is now OU, unoffically, or, Alakazam, Rhyperior, and Rotom-C and UU. (Not until the adjustments in October though)
3: If Porygon2 is OU, is Roserade UU? If that is the case, Rotom-C is UU.
4: Rotom-F is not OU. It's almost NU.
5: If we somehow count Rotom-W as OU, OU will have to include everything above it. And don't get me started on Rotom-F, who, if OU, would abolish the need for teirs.
We go by useage statistics. I included Heracross and Dugtrio to show several things:
1: Dugtrio has just became UU, and Donphan is just below it. If Roserade and P2 are considered OU, then maybe they should be re-considered.
2. Heracross is teetering on the brink of UU, nomatter that way you look at it.
3. Porygon2 is almost more popular than PorygonZ! 0_0
Azelf has taken the lead of the lead situation... again. I can see why Metagross is so popular as a lead, hit it, then BP the pixie! (Unfortunetly, there are few others with a priority move that would deal considerable damage, and not be at risk of Azelf's Flamethrowers)
It's worth pointing out that Garchomp is above 60% in suspect still. Lati twins are not stopping it's useage. And, if you look at Ubers, 'Chomp is 12th, far higher than all the other suspects. And people say Garchomp shouldn't be in Ubers. It seems to have fitted in comfortably. That evidence supports Garchomp = Uber. That said, the Lati's are below Blissey, Scizor, Forry, ect, ect, ect. So, by my own logic, if Chomp is Uber, and Latios is Uber as well, then everything inbetween is 'Uber'. You can't go by useage alone in Ubers, due to the catagories that Uber is defined by.
Oh, and, Salamance is Scizor's most common partner. Makes sence, Mance resists Fire, Scizor can BP Ices.
