I don't see what's so hard to understand about Scrafty being used so little. Heracross is in the number one slot, and it just rapes Scrafty every single time, no matter what set either of these two are using. Hitmontop, Mienshao, Nidoking, Darmanitan, Crobat, Togekiss, and Sableye are all in the top 25. With that many counters that are not just in the tier, but all top 25, I wouldn't be using Scrafty very much. Especially since Crobat is on the rise as the anti-meta, I think if we took just the latter half of August's stats, it would be even higher than it is listed now. Yes, Scrafty is a threatening sweeper, I'm not going to deny it. However, Azelf, Pory-Z, and Sharpedo are all also threatening sweepers, and they see even less usage for the same reasons. And yet nobody has trouble understanding that.
On a side note, Togekiss is top 20 in usage. It's nice to see Togekiss finally getting some love, it has been very underrated for a long time by anybody not named FlareBlitz. And for the love of God, stop using Ambipom.
EDIT: i also don't believe Gothitelle had Shadow Tag for all of August. I could be wrong, but it wouldn't have seen any usage whatsoever until it got Shadow Tag, so if it only received Shadow Tag 1 or 2 weeks in, and word didn't spread until a few days later, that would explain why it's so low.
