At one point I used to hate Scizor because I never could seem to be able to fit him on a team, however now that I've gotten used to him on my current team I can see why he's #1 in usage. Gratz buddy.

Took me by surprise. Cloyster is a monster sweeper, and I definitely think he deserves this much usage. Don't see him to often though.... so it's kind of strange he's 20.

Why why why why WHY! Latias has gone up a whopping 1 rank since November, even when big boy Genesect was in the tier. This just proves my point that offence is definitely favored over defence, and that's why Latios is 13. Quite pathetic in my opinion. I've found so much more success with Latias with her CM sets and her Tank Life Orb set. She's so amazing in this meta game, and she's an amazing counter to Keldeo and even Terrakion. Latios can't take rain boosted or sun boosted hits like Latias can, which is why I see Latias as being a much more effective user of Life Orb in this weather dominate meta. USE HER MORE!

....... I'm really starting to realize why poor Keldeo is being suspected now. Because all of it's amazing counters are not being used. Latias and Celebi are some of Keldeo's best counters, and yet no one uses them. Since Keldeo's usage has gone up, these should have gone up just as much. With Gene gone, Celebi can really shine with it's awesome supporting move pool and great defensive typing, yet no one seems to see that. Sure Jellicent does an even better job at walling Keldeo, but Latias and Celebi can threaten it with their respectable STAB moves. Sorry Keldeo, blame your suspect test on the low usage of these guys.

Truest statement I've ever heard. The fact that the top ten Pokemon on the usage list are almost all offensive juggernauts tells you something. Ferrothorn is an exception however because it's....well Ferrothorn.
