Cofagrigus remains #1, although it is getting significantly popular in UU so it will most likely become UU in 2 months time. Metang has dropped to #67...Molk do something. Zangoose is climbing up the ranks as expected, and how Whimsicott and Electivire have more usage than Escavalier and Spiritomb is mind-boggling. In my opinion, this just shows what a simulator of such high caliber as Pokemon Showdown! can do. I surely hope this continues in the future. Also, Crawdaunt and Absol are rightfully rising up the ranks. Also, Munchlax is still holding on at #48...please stop using it. The same goes for Dusknoir. In conclusion, the reign of Pokemon Showdown! has begun! In my opinion, it has truly influenced RU in a positive way, Whimsicott soaring up the usage stats faster than one can say, "LOL WHIMSICOTT NOOB HAHAHAH!" But I digress. Anyway, discuss :)

Meh maybe its just me but Amoongus at 63 surprises me.

Crawdaunt up to 35 fuck yeah. Dunno how Kabutops is lower than Gatr and i have no clue how Sandslash has more usage than Tops/Cryo when it is the worst spinner.

Lanturn climbs as expected. Gallade making a comeback

Edit: I take back what I said about Whimsicott. Priority Stun Spore is a lifesaver.

Finish the sentence. These stats are ______.

Anyways, lilligant below electivire and whimsicott is a disgrace to RU when lilligant has some of the best stats and one of the best set up moves in the game omg....

How is Poliwrath #60!!! It is one of the best physical walls in the game and yet it is below stuff like Electivire :/.

These stats are fucking retarded. Done

Anyways, there are many things wrong with these stats, for one thing MUNCHLAX has higher usage than poliwrath and roselia, two of the best defensive pokemon and spikers in the tier, lilligant having lower usage than evire really surprises me too, lilligant is very threatening to all kinds of teams and was even suspect at one point. Evire is just.... evire

and dont worry shake, i will do something about the mighty metang's low usage

RU metang 2012 second coming, it will happen

My reaction when looking at the stats was extremely disappointed and flabbergasted. Cofagrigus in no way should be #1, and what Trop, Molk, and Double01 posted is absurd. These stats do not reflect the current metagame at all.

@august Crawdaunt should be in the top 25 lol.

| 1 | Cofagrigus | 3414 | 17.463% | 2395 | 17.857% |

Good news! This thing is finally capable of being promoted to UU!

| 2 | Nidoqueen | 3271 | 16.731% | 2502 | 18.655% |

I honestly think this Poke should be in BL2. However, this is not the place to discuss how horribly broken Nidoqueen is.

| 28 | Whimsicott | 1588 | 8.123% | 1155 | 8.612% |

I'm going to say something here.

Whimsicott is actually a very good Pokemon, and the fact it makes it to Top 30 of RU shows it. While SubSeed isn't quite the set it could be, it can still be a mess to deal with against balanced and offensive teams.

It's one of my favorite Gen V Pokes in general, so there's some slight bias to my usage of it. However, it holds much more merit into a teamslot than Sandslash, at the very least.

| 34 | Escavalier | 1470 | 7.519% | 1037 | 7.732% |

Escavalier's a terrific Pokemon.

While I'm quite worried people underestimate its potential in the RU tier at times, I also can use Esca against said people. And win, as I have a team dedicated to laughing at people with him and Gallade.

| 38 | Ferroseed | 1358 | 6.946% | 979 | 7.299% |

This Pokemon, while it may be meritable to completelegitimacy, is incredibly difficult to take seriously, mostly because many people I come off against wind up leaving their Ferroseed at inconvenient times.

With the increasing amount of Fire and Fighting-type Pokemon and techniques in the tier, and the frequency of some set-up sweepers such as Gallade, any value Ferroseed might have had in RU has long since diminished.

Also, Bastiodon and Probopass do hazards better and are each easier to put into a team. Deadly serious about that.

| 41 | Crustle | 1232 | 6.302% | 923 | 6.882% |

Speaking of people who do hazards better than Ferroseed and aren't complete set-up bait in the process...

| 48 | Munchlax | 1094 | 5.596% | 697 | 5.197% |
| 51 | Magneton | 1020 | 5.217% | 682 | 5.085% |
| 59 | Rhydon | 649 | 3.320% | 441 | 3.288% |

The less people use these Pokemon specifically, the better. Magneton might be okay as an Escavalier check, but Steelix does that job much better. Unless there's an influx of Bastiodons, Probopasses, and other viable Steel-types coming into RU within the next two months, Magneton seems more like a liability.

Munchlax and Rhydon just aren't standing up to the threats in RU. Arguably, Rhydon just suffers from being high-risk high reward, but it is just something incredibly out of place and not viable at all. :I

Honestly, I find RU's stats a mixed bag. Bar Sandlash's persistence in the top 10, RU is slowly molding to be balanced for once soon as it gets rid of Nidoqueen and makes sure to keep Metang out of the stat radar forever.

That said, I'm still keeping my eye on RU. BW2's only just begun, and some Pokemon are still being analyzed who aren't even on the radar (Shadow Tag Gothitelle, the NU Pokes who are often found in RU Research Groups, etc.).

I am really confused why Ferroseed is even being used at all, it really is useless in the current meta. All fighting types destroy it, Entei, Archeops got Heatwave, Escavalier can setup on it, Evire flamethrowers and the list continues. The only thing it walls is Feraligatr and Crawdaunt which Tangrowth does just a good job walling as well as fighting types which ferro cannot.

Sandslash does not deserve to be above 30 and really has no place sitting 7 while there so many better spinners (Being cryogonal and kabutops) it just shows how many new players there must be or people still believe it is actually good.

The most satisfying stat for me personally is rise of Evire to 29th because no matter how much people rip on this guy I still feel he holds a unique niche in the current meta. 95 Speed isn't terrible and access to so many coverage moves plus motor charge he can be really strong late game. I love Evire and all the hate is unneeded because he really does stand as a threat to a lot of walls in RU, his only problem is he can't OHKO Tangrowth, Steelix, Whimsicott, Etc but like I said he is better for late game.

Sure, why using Ferroseed at all? Its a complete setup bait...

Gallade really deserves that #8, he's a such amazing poke...

Gallade is an incredibly powerful sweeper-it should be even higher frankly. It has won me the bulk of my games thanks to it's insane coverage and surprisingly great bulk.

I've lost count of how many times this guy turned some really bad-looking games in my favor... 0_0

Also, Nidoqueen at #2.. This thing is an absolute monster

The top of the ladder seems to have been populated by two main categories of Pokemon: incredible walls, and sweepers with at least one VERY high offensive stat

Notables:

Defensive:
Cofagrigus
Uxie (should be banned, maybe?)

Offensive:
Entei
Gallade
Nidoqueen
Moltres
Galvantula
Sceptile

The only thing I can say about Whimsicott is... It should be PU NU. Whimsicott just recycles the same exact set in any given tier:

Noobsicott @ Noob
Trait: Noobster
EVs: 252 Noob / 252 Noob / 4 Noob
Noob Nature
- Noob Seed
- Substinoob
- Noobcore / Noob Taunt
- Noob-turn / Noob Toxic

Whimsicott is for fucking noobs.

Also, Noobvire is still Noobvire. I guess people still don't understand that "It's super effective!" =/= OHKO.

Nidoqueen being so high is kind of expected. Trop's and Molk's team shows just how good it is in RU, but it should be #1, rather than Cofagrigus.

Also, if Noobvire can make it to above #30, why can't Absol? Absol is surprisingly good in RU - Much better than Noobvire.

and this.

And at all the whimsicott hate. You would only hate it if it's actually been used succesfully against you and it can actually be very useful for heavily offensive teams as a momentum setter and set-up stopper.

The thing about Whimsicott is that it's so predictable it's not even funny. Its offensive presence essentially equates to zero, meaning it has a harder time with opposing Grass-types (especially Roselia and Amoonguss, as they have super effective STAB to use against it) Also, I believe Sap Sipper gives an Attack boost when the user switches in on Leech Seed? If so, then Bouffalant is a great counter.

tl;dr: Whimsicott was never good and never will be.

False. Whimsicott is fucking fantastic, it's just you fucks are dumb as hell and always use Leech Seed or Cotton Guard or other stupid shit. Stop. Doing. That. Whimsicott actually fucking accomplishes something with the following:

Giga Drain
Stun Spore
U-Turn
Taunt / Encore

You all are saying Whimsicott is bad because you are using the shittiest sets on it ever. Whimsicott wrenches momentum like no one's business, and that's its JOB. That's it. If you're using it to sweep something with SubSeed, or bullshit Encore / Toxic...it will suck.

Whimsicott is for fucking noobs.

You're using SubSeed. That's your first problem, if only because of actual Sap Sippers being in RU. SubSeed Whimsicott is terrific in Ubers, and possibly OU, but other than that it's actually mediocre. Unless its Ubers analysis is remodeled, Whimsicott is still the best annoyer in the game.

The second problem is that you're not using Giga Drain or Hurricane, both palpably good moves that make Whimsi not Taunt bait to other Whimsi.

So no, Whimsicott is not for noobs. Just the exact opposite - it takes skill to use Whimsicott effectively.

Also, Noobvire is still Noobvire. I guess people still don't understand that "It's super effective!" =/= OHKO.

2HKOs are still good, even if it's Electivire. Are there better Pokemon than Electivire? Certainly. I could argue all day that Dusknoir laughs at it, but I doubt anyone will stay awhile and listen.

Nidoqueen being so high is kind of expected. Trop's and Molk's team shows just how good it is in RU, but it should be #1, rather than Cofagrigus.

Also, if Noobvire can make it to above #30, why can't Absol? Absol is surprisingly good in RU - Much better than Noobvire.

Any Pokemon is better than Metang in RU. That includes Electivire, begrudgingly.
Arguments in bold, yadda yadda.

Not to mention priority stun spore can basically shutdown any sweeper that has gotten up boosts or outspeeds the rest of your team.

These stats are a surprise....
I like others said an surprised lot of good Pokemon as kind of low in usage. I was thinking Nidoqueen would be the number #1.

Whimsicott just hasn't really struck out to me as good - there seem to be other Grass-types that can screw it over and a certain Afrobull also says hi. But yeah, SubSeed is a terrible strategy - Whimsicott is better at other things like blajaran's set. I don't really think its that great, but it isn't complete garbage and a waseful noob Pokemon.

Electivire IMO isn't really that bad. There are times when I just literally have nothing that can deal with Electivire because its coverage ensure a lot of my team is going to get hit hard by it before I can get a decent opportunity to do something, especially when I run offensive teams and I use Slowking as my main wall. Its faster than Nidoqueen and actually isn't that much weaker - it just dies a lot faster, but it also has mixed coverage. It really isn't all that bad IMO, and while it isn't super strong, it has good coverage. It is a bit too high in stats, but I think it deserves to be in RU.

I will verify this and say that Leech Seed, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, and Spore all activate Sap Sipper, and thus give Bouffalant +1 in attack. In addition, considering that Bouffalant very frequently uses a Choice Band, it can easily annihilate Whimsicott with either Head Charge or Megahorn. Bouffalant is generally the best of the Sap Sipper abusers but there are others, such as Sawsbuck, which are not used as much.
