Knows the great enthusiasms
Another month with late stats, but this time it was related to repeated technical problems trying to get the stat gathering programs to complete successfully. For some reason, last month we had a lot of corrupt data in the battle logs that made it hard to get the stat collection to run smoothly. And since SU has such massive amounts of data, every time the stat gathering program crashes, it takes several hours to restart and rerun everything. So, if there are lots of problems, it can take several days to get everything worked out. That's what happened this time. Not fun.
Anyway -- you'll notice that Suspect testing seems to have had a "halo effect" on Standard OU last month. You'll notice that Heatran suddenly jumped up to #2 on the main ladder, and Scizor usage dipped considerably. I guess people are using their non-Salamence teams on the Standard ladder too? I don't know. But those key stat changes sure look like fallout from the upheaval over on the Suspect ladder. Should be interesting discussion fodder for all the stat pundits out there....
These stats were gathered from 644,192 individual battles that were fought during the month of June on the Smogon Shoddy Battle Server. Usage and Leads are listed in the posts directly below this one.
Happy stat hunting!
