Portrays the recent upsurge in Houndour usage with it being at #11. Dratini has also seen a significant boost in usage, and with good reason. I truthfully don't know why it wasn't being used much before. Mantyke being so low (#34) still saddens me, it's such a great Mon. Nothing much really jumps out to me, but I'm expecting a big difference between these May stats and the upcoming June stats due to the Sun ban.

Ahaha, this is how pro LC is.

Anyways, not many differences here; Gligar still shows that he's the best LC poke, being bulky, fast and hitting hard as hell. Misdreavus, my favourite LC pokemon, is also being used too much, so I'm afraid of people banning it. I think I'm going to use scarf Missy to check those both, as well as Scraggy. But what worries me the most is that people are starting to abuse more Carvanha; seriously, that thing is absolutely overpowered; if you lack fighting priority, you auto lose lol.

Nice, thanks for the stats dude. Hmm, looks really accurate considering Sun and the LC BEASTS like Gligar, Meditite, Scraggy, and Misdreavus. idk but I don't think Carvanha is that broken its so frail that pretty much any priority or bulky poke kills it. But, then again I'm a N00B at LC XD.

I'm glad to see that Carvanha got nice usage this round. Top 10 didn't change that much, and the new pokemon there were Vulpix, now banned and Bellsprout, won't get that high again without Vulpix. Staryu needs more love, its so amazing.

Just posting to note that Carvanha is OHKOed by Houndour Fire Blast, if that is any indication of its bulk.

Also, I expect to see Dwebble in the top 10, and that Snover will fall relative to the other pokes, while it may appear that he's moving up as Vulpix and Bellsprout will disappear

He was a chlorophyll sweeper that's pretty much exactly like petilil minus sleep powder, but add weather ball + hidden power, but his usage should skyrocket down now that vulpix is banned. Also; Munchlax, Gastly, and Croagunk aren't that good this generation (gastly especially), that's why more people used cherubi than those three.

Croagunk is pretty underrated, actually. It basically just gets forgotten because of other Fighting-types but it has a good typing and can deal damage from both sides of the spectrum.

Edit: I'm surprised Foongus is so low. I must have run into half of them...

I've seen literally one guy using Foongus on the ladder. That being said, I played him like 10 times, so...

I've seen at least 3 separate people. It was actually quite decent, pretty bulky with Spore.

I found that one of my teams was actually pretty weak to foongus lol. This was because it was a more stall oriented team that relied heavily on toxic stalling. Obviously this strategy didn't work against foongus due to it's poison typing, so when synthesis, spore and giga drain were added to the mix, it was a bitch to take down.

Even though I don't even have an LC team (I just got into it) one thing really confuses me:
Gligar has been in 62 more battles than there are total battles. WUT?

Hint: Both teams can have a Gligar on them

It's also a bit of a symptom of the fact that there are like 20 viable LC mons, whereas in other tiers there are usually far mor
