Click me for stats
These have been taken from Antar's thread. I find stats interesting for promoting discussion so I thought I'd post them here. As an aside, I've included the stat differentials for the first fifty pokemon in Ubers so we can see what is gaining popularity. Some interesting points: -Kyogre is supreme king of Ubers (yeah like thats going to change any time soon...) -Deoxys-S, Terrakion, Excadrill, Espeon, and Gliscor have all seen massive increase in usage. Wobbuffet has seen a minor surge in usage as well. It'd be interesting to see what items and sets are popular to analyze the metagame better but sadly we lack such detailed stats at the moment. Fear not because this is being worked on ! -Victini has fallen by quite a margin and is now the 50th Uber and ranks below Swampert and Charizard....man, people sure like their starters a lot ! On the point of Charizard, it has finally seen a drop in usage ! Also, we have had 6000 less battles compared to June !! Guys, get on the ladder more often ! So, discuss away about your Ubers and I'd like to see (especially) some discussion about the Pokemon which have seen a spike in usage like Deoxys-S and Terrakion. It'd be interesting to hear what items and moves you use or what could be used. So, discuss away !!

I could've sworn gastrodon use would have been higher. It's also a travesty that some of the arceus forms are placing so low, especially with swampert at no. 49, I mean, really.
Also surprised to see scizor quite high up, and cloyster too!

Garchomp on the 14th
I've been seeing it on more teams of lately. This thing is sexy this time but I have no idea why SD sets are used more than the scarf sets. |

I've been seeing Garchomp on quite a few teams too. It is really an excellent Scarfer thanks to its fantastic Dragon and Ground STAB's. Basically, if your opponent lacks a neutral Arceus (not weak to Dragon or Ground), Lugia, Groudon or if they have been removed, he / she is in trouble !

With so many legendary dragons, it's served me well. I really...don't like the SD set though. Maybe it's just me because I just couldn't do well with it (with or without sand support T_T) |

Excellent thread Barry, hope it'll bring some activity there.
I dont understand how people wasnt able to understand how Terrakion is great in Uber when you can see his STAB and RK ability. Anyway, thx to the smog, he's used pretty often now. I'm running Deo-S + MixRay to break the classic rain stall (nuttre/ogre/kia/gira/dialga/ceus), and finally a ghost ceus to keep my Spikes and to wipe out a good portion of Offense. Seriously, Garchomp is horrible in Scarf now, he cant break Arceus, even the offensive one. The SD version (well, all of the SD mons in Uber) is destroyed alive by defensive Arceus. |

Also, as a heads up, this thread is just the tip of the iceberg, I and the other mods have got a lot of new discussions and stuff planned out for our dearest Uber forum. So yeah just keep that in mind and wait for a few days, we are going to restore the glory days of BW Ubers and all of us, including you guys, will be a part of this !

With so many palkia, dialga, reshiram, zekrom, rayquaza, and evidently garchomp in UBERS, ScarfChomp is a fantastic scarfer. It is however pretty annoying not to be able to deal too well with the standard Normal Arceus. |

Deo-A +1 and Zekrom at -3 were kinda surprising.

Very interesting jumps, especially Mewtwo, Darkrai, and Rayqauaza. I suppose offense is slowly returning to Ubers. The top mons don't surprise me much, although the drop in Ferros is interesting, considering how dominant Ferrogre was before. I wouldn't say it's on its way out because it's really an effective combination, but it seems people are experimenting with different Steels.

Also, I'm pretty sure Rock Polish Groudon would break through this combo. |

Yes, its true most Giratina-O are running Will-O-Wisp nowadays though I personally prefer my old Giratina-O with four offensive moves, Also about RP Groudon, yeah quite a few Pokemon break through that combo but thats where you're other four Pokemon come in handy ;) Lugia and Giratina positively laugh at RP Groudon unless it gets a Swords Dance, then things start getting a "little" complicated.

Giratina is probably your best bet in that situation, as it can tank +2 EQ like a boss and Burn.

On the topic of Garchomp, Sand Veil Abusing Swords Dance Garchomp is still really good. I definitely prefer it over ScarfChomp, who is just an invitation for Ferrothorn to come in and Spike all over you.

Oh man, I just noticed Groudon's and Mewtwo's usage is exactly the same. More Fire Blasting Mewtwo coming?

Concerning Garchomp, as I said, Arceus is a fucking pain in the ass for every version. |
