I'm pretty sure "Let's Go" didn't affect any of this stuff, but if something looks wrong, please ask a smod to email me to take a look. Recall: stats are weighted 20:3:1 Dec:Nov:Oct weighting, with the cutoffs for rises and drops at 3.41% rise/drop cutoff.

Hopefully I get this right on the first try this time. Here's the tier update for October, with the standard 20:3:1 Sep:Aug:July weighting and 3.41% rise/drop cutoff. Enjoy, and if anything looks wrong, please PM me or ask a mod to send me an email. My notifications are still a mess.

Sorry about that. I'm incredibly embarrassed. If I were going to mess up a tier update, I wish I'd done it for April Fool's. In any case, here is the real tier update for July. Weighting is the standard 20-3-1 June-May-April. If you see something wrong, please PM me or ask a mod to send me an...

Hi folks! Time for another full tier update. Weighting is the standard 20-3-1 June-May-April. As always, PM me if anything looks weird.

Sorry for the delay (I fat fingered the stats script twice--clearly I need to be getting more sleep), but the April tier updates are finally here. Thank you all for your patience. Weighting is the standard 20-3-1 Mar-Feb-Jan. As always, VM/PM me if anything looks weird.

Sorry for the lack of tier update last month. The Ultra SuMo release exposed a bunch of flaws in the usage stats scripts that took a while to resolve. I finally have everything sorted though, so here are your new tiers! Weighting is the standard 20-3-1 Dec-Nov-Oct. Please VM/PM me if anything...

It never goes smooth, does it? Last time there was all the drama with the old server dying, this time two weeks' worth of battles (end of June, early July) didn't get logged... Still, we can always hope for a smooth Fall! Anyway, just doing a straight 20:3:1 Aug:July:June weighting this time...

All right. It's finally all done. As we all know, the intent was to do monthly quick rises/drops for Gen 7, but the PS server had different plans, so here we are in June, and the last tier update used March stats. So I went ahead and computed the tier changes (as well as the initial NU...

In case you haven't been following, the PS server issues mean I can't run my stats scripts on the server, and copying them off is slow as balls. If we wait to get all the logs in a place where I can process them, we're looking at a delivery date for the March stats some time in May, even if I...

Hey all. Here are the tier changes for March. The details are a little bit complicated here. RU is based on just non-beta UU stats for February with a cutoff of 3.41% for rises and drops. The OU<->UU changes are based on two months of stats (January and February) with usage above 4.52% needed...

So the stats spread reports that are up in the moveset stats right now aren't very useful: +----------------------------------------+ | Spreads | | Jolly:0/252/0/0/4/252 12.496% | | Impish:248/0/244/0/8/8 7.238% | | Impish:248/0/252/0/8/0...

I'm gonna completely ignore the existence of the "alpha" tiers (just meaning I'm not phrasing this in terms of raises and drops) Smogon is proceeding with the lower tiers at a more accelerated pace than in previous generations, and that starts this month with our initial OU / UU determination...

All usage statistics for every month can be found here!!! New gen, so let's go ahead and start a new thread. The previous rules still apply, namely: and I'll announce each month when the stats are "up." Feel free to ask any questions you have about how things are calculated, but be sure to...

First off, if you use my usage stats, especially the detailed reports or the JSON files and you have an opinion, but you don't have permission to post to this forum, PM me separately or post your thoughts to the GitHub issue. I'm in the process of completely rewriting the scripts I use to...

Thanks for your patience, everybody. Been a HARD last week, but I'm finally able to post what will likely be the last tier shift of Gen VI. My plan is not to do any more quick-rises / drops, but I can of course be persuaded otherwise by TLs, if they feel they're necessary. Boilerplate: For...

Currently policy is to discard from the usage stats any singles battle in a 6v6 format that lasts for fewer than six turns. This was my first attempt at weeding out players who were attempting to manipulate the usage stats. But since them, we've implemented a full-on weighting scheme, and it's...

So right now, we calculate usage stats the following way: count up the occurrences of each species on each player's team, weighting using our weighting function empty slots get counted as well duplicate mons (or multiple empty slots) get multiply counted (so a team with one Magikarp and five...

So even before the decision to count megas separately, there's been some ambiguity about which formes get combined. For example: Gastrodon-East and Gastrodon get counted together, because that's an appearance-only variation with no competitive significance Rotom formes get counted separately...

Hi everybody! It's time once again for this month's usage-based tier update. For those new to our system, how our tiers work is that they're primarily based on usage (the names of the tiers, OU, UU, RU and NU, literally mean "Overused," "Underused," "Rarely Used" and "Never Used"): Pokemon that...

So I'm (slowly) working on rewriting the Smogon Usage stats system with a few goals in mind: Better resilience Easier development of new analyses and metrics Easier access for researchers Replacing an embarrassingly awful codebase The project is here: https://github.com/Antar1011/Onix and I'm...
