Just something I saw from the UU stats: Nidoqueen is actually quite a bit into UU randge at the moment (its like at 4% at the moment)

In my spare time, I looked at the real stats vs. the weighted stats, and I saw some interesting movements within the tier, especially in the bottom bit of the top 100. The left is their rank without the weight (the first real number given), and the right is it with the weight.

Pokemon in the top 100 that benefitted from the Weighted stats the most (3 spots up or more)



...

Yeah, Rampardos moved up SIX SPOTS. And these weren't just random Pokemon either - they were Linoone, Regirock, Haunter, and Kadabra who would have otherwise been ahead of Rampardos. Kabutops and Rotom seem to be the most underrated Pokemon within the tier at the moment, having both moved up extensive amounts. There were some really wierd Pokemon that moved up quite a bit, such as Sawk, Torkoal, Natu, and Gigalith, but Pokemon such as Piloswine and Misdreavus are very underrated and stuff like Rotom-C, Durant, and Druddigon honestly had the extra usage coming, as they are all solid Pokemon. Some other RU Pokemon that enjoy this change are Lanturn, Omastar, and Medicham.

Jesus crist Whimsicott did not ejoy this - it was cut off from tons of its usage and passed up by some underrated Pokemon. Drifblim and Weezing, though not very high in the stats to begin with, decreased in usage greatly, mostly because they really are not very good. While Pokemon such as Charizard, Dusknoir, Ditto, Armaldo, and Electivire saw expected drops, there were still some suprises. Aerodactyl was actually originally a Top 10 mon, but fell greatly. Despite being considered underrated threats by many, Braviary and Absol actually really did not like this new system and moved down, which I didn't expect. A few other suprises in my opinion included Drapion, Aggron, Accelgor and Crawdaunt (actually, all RU Dark-types moved down, with the exception of Spiritomb)

Some other things that were unexpected to me were that Munchlax not really moving down very much, Hitmonchan and Sandlash's percentages moving up thanks to this (though not Sandslash's usage rank), Moltres being slightly hurt by this, and other wierd things down near the bottom such as Wartortle going up while Zangoose and Tauros went down. Also, just for interest, Slowking would have been number one without the weight.
