Whoa some huge changes:
Going Up:
Going Down:
...
Gliscor doesn't actually lose that much usage in itself by percentage, its massive dip this month is more attributed to others overtaking it.
Gengar drops big, I personally don't care for Gengar. The way its played doesn't fit my style and I'll probably never use it on a team anyways.
Jellicent goes from one of the most used pokemon in the game to nowhere all the sudden. You'd think with Volcorona establishing itself as a powerhouse, Jellicent usage would rise if anything. Probably because more and more are running Substitute to bypass Jellicent.
Infernape drops, another baffling case. With sun going up, you'd think Ape would follow suite. I guess this has to do with Dragonite's rise.
Magnezone sucks and I hope it continues to drop. What the hell does it do besides beat Skarmory?
Latias dropped? What the hell? I thought it was going to jump to about 25 ish with the rise in sun and rain stall, both whom fare horrendously against Latias.
Toxicroak dropped? Antar, I think there's actually a problem with the stats here. Mynism's Toxicroak is shredding shit apart atm. It seems that every rain team has one of those things. I personally don't know the second thing about programming, but I'm 99% sure this stat is wrong.
Mamoswine is dropping? I'm friggin pissed. Mamo is definately OU worthy, with Dragonite everywhere and all.
Tornadus dropped. Meh, Tornadus sucks.

How the hell is Reuniclus only 14? That Trick Room set is everywhere. Trick Room decimates offense, Calm Mind decimates defense. You can use this thing everywhere.
Volcorona not in top 20. How the hell does that work? Its next to impossible to bring down without physical rock moves. Even Heatran and Jellicent aren't hard counters because that Chestorest set is a monster. Hell, not even revenge killing fom Landorus is safe due to that Substitute set. Add that, the huge spike in sun teams, and the fact that with simple rapid spin/ magic bounce support Volcorona can win entire matches by itself, and its absolutely baffling how this thing is this low.
Why are people still using Blissey so much? The thing can't do anything off a stall team anymore.
Why is Salamence falling? The thing absolutely mauls sun teams, and you'd think it'd go up to check sun. In fact, thats not the only reason sun would affect it. Of all the dragons, it and Hydreigon are the most destructive on sun dragon teams. With pseudo STAB Flamethrowers/ Fire Blasts along with deadly Outrages/ Draco Meteors. If anything, Salamence should be top 25. I'm attributing this to noobs who use 3/4 attacks Dragonite even though Salamence outclasses it.
Lucario is just... unappreciated.
Same goes for Scrafty, you guys need to try these two guys out.
Slowbro and Quagsire are still not OU. I think I died a little inside.
And the provocative rant:
...
Swampert in OU. Are you people freaking high? You still use this piece of garbage? This thing dies to like everything now.
Every sand sweeper in existence tears it apart. Can Swampert take a +2 Earthquake/ Close Combat? Like at all? Hell, even friggin Scizor can beat it down with U-Turn/ Bug Bite. Every rain team in existence tears it apart. Water types walk all over it. Electric types can just smack it with Hidden Power Grass or something. Yeah even GK less Thundurus has no trouble 2HKOing this piece of trash. Everything in sun tears it apart. Chlorophyll sweepers maul it. Fire types can smack it around since Swampert can't do anything back to many of them. I guess you could Scald them, oh wait, they're fire types and its in the sun, scratch that too. Even friggin Ninetails can burn it and proceed to outstall.
Dragons take it out with Outrage/ Draco Meteor. Yeah, so what if you have Ice Beam? All it takes is like 30% prior damage or something and Draco Meteor/ Outrage will break through. Fighting types use Swampert to heal themselves, who cares if you can Roar it out? They come back at full health because Swampert can't do anything except sit there and eat a Drain Punch. Steel types laugh at Swampert as well. How many steel types that are used are actually still weak to Earthquake? Metagross? Hmmm... looks like Damp actually has its uses. Now Swampert can come in without worrying about Explo... oh whats that? Nobody uses Explosion anymore because it got nerfed? Oh alright, never mind guys. Damp is still crap as usual.
But stall teams have the easiest time of all. It has no Spikes/ Toxic Spikes immunity, it gets completely gimped by Will-o-Wisp, and it gets no reliable recovery. I guess you could use rest... Oh wait, that means you now lose a moveslot, meaning even more shit walls you. You can uhh... Roar them out... oh wait, Swampert needs to set up Stealth Rocks before it can start doing that. Except Swampert doesn't have time to do that anymore. Its either get a hit in before you get 2HKOd, or get SR up and die. I guess Swampert can go back to what its been good at ever since its inception into the game: countering Dragon Dance Tyranitar... oh wait, those don't exist anymore.
Seriously guys. Unless you're using Bulky Choice Bander. You shouldn't be using Swampert. Gastrodon and Quagsire both outclass this thing.
