Default October Usage Stats

I beat both of you this time, LGI.

October Usage Stats


Lead Usage


Metagame Analysis


Moveset Statistics: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322900/

September Usage Stats: http://tinyurl.com/aybbygr

I have quite a few comments about these stats.

Sceptile has made its rise to the #1 used pokemon in RU for the month with cofagrigus gone, with Nidoqueen close behind at #2. Both are very solid pokemon that deserve to be high up in usage, but i personally think sceptile should be in the top ten range instead of #1, but thats just me. Hitmonlee at #7 is kinda sad imo, because its easy to see that everyone is using the shitty fake out unburden set instead of reversal Lee or just NewBreed's fighting gem set, honestly, in a metagame where cress is deemed a big threat, i cant justify hitmonlee being so high up. Sandslash falls 6 spots from #11 to #17, which is good, but not good enough. Especially when almost all of them are the worst possible sandslash set. Dusknoir is now #12 which i find sort of odd, i wonder why people are using it, any thoughts? Munchlax is actually going UP in usage, which is just sad because nothing changed to make it any more viable >_>. Looking at potential tier shifts, Cincinno is the closest pokemon to moving up to RU, with amoonguss and absol close behind. Roselia, Scolipede, Primeape, Mandibuzz, and Mesprit are all near NU range. Looking at UU, Houndoom is the closest thing to dropping, but sadly it is nowhere near the 3.41% mark =(. Last but not least, its interesting to see that stoutland didnt make much of a splash, sitting well into NU range, your escavalier are safe!

One last thing for your troubles because lol

| 62 | Cresselia | 1232 | 2.405% | 1014 | 2.393% |

| 85 | Durant | 499 | 0.974% | 352 | 0.831% |

NU Cress and Durant 2012 lgi?

(the reason both of them are so low is thanks to the fact that they were reintroduced in the middle of the month, combine that with the fact that bad PS ladder kiddies dont read the forums and are therefore not aware that they are allowed, and you have stupidly low usage for our new suspects :3).
