Analysis of Pokemon Usages: Which Pokemon were used by high-ranked players in May?
Shoddybattle statistics provide both weighted and unweighted usages of Pokemon. Since the weighted usage of a Pokemon is simply the sum of the ladder rankings of the players using it at that time, then we can calculate the average player ladder ranking for each Pokemon as follows:
Average Player Ladder Ranking = Weighted Usage / Unweighted Usage This can tell us which Pokemon are used by the best players. I decided to do this for the top 250 Pokemon in the weighted list. I then found the average and standard deviation ranking for these 250 Pokemon. Those Pokemon that are above the mean+standard deviation were then considered to be used by 'expert' players. Those Pokemon that are below the mean-standard deviation were considered to be used by 'novice' players. All the others (being within one standard deviation from the mean) were deemed to be used by 'normal' players. Here are, then, the Pokemon used by the 'expert' players, and their ranking in May's weighted list: Code:
# Pokemon Average Player Rating -------------------------------------- 46 Wobbuffet 1357.195234 13 Celebi 1354.885924 20 Zapdos 1332.453283 69 Mesprit 1330.872288 8 Heatran 1327.69591 43 Roserade 1324.902768 68 Shaymin 1318.228349 26 Suicune 1310.31188 5 Tyranitar 1309.461581 25 Magnezone 1307.620508 37 Deoxys-S 1306.65134 6 Bronzong 1299.188471 19 Heracross 1299.035911 22 Azelf 1293.356838 1 Garchomp 1293.01291 28 Jirachi 1291.013242 14 Gliscor 1290.837871 4 Gyarados 1290.809299 85 Walrein 1288.95022 41 Mamoswine 1285.562532 12 Starmie 1276.957552 23 Cresselia 1276.578109 36 Tentacruel 1273.46372 11 Metagross 1272.099143 86 Moltres 1269.505804 27 Machamp 1267.65269 49 Abomasnow 1265.015125 154 Skuntank 1264.743676 67 Uxie 1264.036991 34 Hippowdon 1263.70761 7 Lucario 1263.495902 42 Dugtrio 1263.395664 21 Vaporeon 1262.825089 48 Spiritomb 1258.000472 2 Gengar 1257.158098 10 Salamence 1253.657336 3 Blissey 1253.070887 15 Swampert 1252.995923 139 Nidoqueen 1251.542515 29 Breloom 1248.96794 16 Skarmory 1248.575719 18 Forretress 1248.102821 Code:

The Pokemon being used by the highest ranked players on average, interestingly, is none other than Wobbuffet, while Electivire is the Pokemon in OU with the lowest ranked players using it. The average player ranking out of that list is 1148.53, and Electivire's player ranking is even lower than this average. So is that of Porygon-Z, and Ninjask is very near this average too. These three OU Pokemon (Electivire, Ninjask and Porygon-Z) are kinda the 'noob' OU Pokemon.

This is a very interesting thread. Will this be repeated for June's statistics? I also find it interesting how I use the 3 highest ranked Pokemon on that list.

154 Skuntank 1264.743676
This was the most surprising to me, what do the experts know about skuntank that the rest of us don't?

please do this again x-act, i love it! i used wobb extensively in may, so i must be good :D. this should add to the 'wobb is uber' arguments. keep in mind that lesser used pokes can look real good just because a few really good players use them. no, this should not make skuntank OU.
since i'm already at it, might as well post some thoughts on why these pokes are ranked where they are. there are lots of pokemon that i find hard to fit on a team despite their high rankings. these are: 1. infernape. LO + sandstorm just proved too much to me. don't forget SR damage either. too much damage on a fragile poke. 2. scizor. it's just too easily walled. i can see potential with niche roles but flying types just love facing scizor, especially gyara and mence due to intimidate. 3. yanmega. 50% SR damage is just no good. so many people use it with LO too. it can wear down really easily especially when the current metagame is filled with bulky sweepers. 4. weavile. bronzongs are running all over the place and gengars - something weaviles were known to trap kill, now commonly run scarves. 5. snorlax. it's just hard using normal type physical threats. skarm, zong, dusknoir... you get the picture. there are better rest talkers.

Some surprises:
- Mesprit: it's quite useful, but I don't find a way to use it correctly. However some people have found its usefulness. - Shaymin: it's barely used, but who use it are quite strong. I only see Specs set, which have a limited movepool, so I don't understand why it's so used. - Walrein: with Walrein so high, we can find that Hail teams are used by strong people. - Skuntank: I don't understand this, sorry. - Nidoqueen: I've used it with success, because it's a good Heracross and SDLucario counter, can lay down Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, absorb that Toxic Spikes, and and with Roar it can PHaze quite well. - Porygon2 > PorygonZ: do you understand this?. Anyway, what are we missing about Mesprit, Shaymin and Skuntank? |

I'm not surprised by Mesprit at all - I use it on a lot of my teams with plenty of success. Skuntank sticks out like a sore thumb to me on the list - I can "justify" the other highly ranked Pokemon; each has a niche it fills in some way or another. I'll definitely be looking into this.
Excellent work, as always, X-Act. Much appreciated. :)

Nice work as always, X-Act. ^^
I'm not surprised about most things, really - I've always considered Ninjask and Electivire n00b-OU Pokemon, as most people who still think those are good Pokemon are n00bs anyway. Also, Wobbuffet at first place might be a good argument for it being uber... one could conclude that using Wobbuffet makes your rating increase. x3 I'm kinda wtf'ing at Mesprit being so high. o.o; |

Mesprit has the ability to counter Gyarados, Garchomp, and Infernape, among other things. Should its high rating really be such a shock? (Okay, higher than Heatran is a little bit of a surprise...)
The real WTF is, of course, Skuntank. Heh, must be for the WTF factor. lol

I'm guessing the deal with Skuntank is that it's pretty low on the average usage list, so being on just a couple teams that ended up moderately high in ranking would bump it up pretty high.

Well, maybe there was a high-ranking player in May who was experimenting with Skuntank.
EDIT: These were the Pokemon used by 'experts' in April: Code:

Thanks for putting this together, X-Act. It's definitely some very interesting info.

Is it the ranking of the player when they start the match, after they finish the match, or does Shoddy keep track of the number of uses for each Pokémon on an account over the month and then multiply by the month-end ranking?

I love this a lot, thanks X-Act. I will remind you and everyone else though (because it hasn't been posted yet), that the preponderance of alternate accounts is going to throw these numbers off an awful lot. You almost need look no farther than the top two players on the ladder right now to realize this: they are both "imperfectluck" for whatever reason.
His analajim account is #6 as well, and for a player who's voiced his goal of whoring Wobbuffet until it gets banned, you can start to realize one of the main reasons Wobbuffet is so high on this index. I honestly don't know whatever alts he has or other players have, but until we're able to pin this down, we unfortunately cannot place much stock in these stats.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure about this. The first 5 pokemon on the list used by expert Players are Legendaries, with the exception of the Wobb, which has recently been moved down from Ubers. This seems to go against the old phrase "Those who battle without legends, don't have the skills to deal with them." Seeing as the "Experts" use the legends, then doesn't that seem to suggest that they rely on their legends, to be "experts."
The other explination is that... LOL I'm ill and i can't remember what i was going to say. Either way there was an alternative explaination. Anyway the conclusion of this small piee of writing is that bit about the legends earlier!

Each usage scores the pokemon a number of points equal to its trainer's conservative estimated rating at the point when this list was compiled... I'd guess that means that it counted the players' ratings as they were in June 1st.

Great work, X-Act.
I'm not too suprised that Wobbuffet is used the majority of the time by high-ranked players on the ladder. As such, this is easy to acknowledge once you realise that ipl has two accounts on the top ten of the Shoddy Battle ladder. On the other hand, you see, many lower-tiered players don't tend to use Wobbuffet due to their misundertanding of the Pokemon in general - believing it's not that great - or the fact that they won't use it because they simply do not like it - hatred fumed through Wobbuffet's "uberness". Don't get me wrong, though, as there are many higher-tiered players who simply do not use Wobbuffet either.

Thanks for the work.
Interesting to find that of the 6 on my current team, 5 are in the normal category and 1 in the Expert. I definitely should play more. |

I wasn't particularly surprised by any of this, but of course, awesome work, X-Act. Electivire as the bottom OU sounds pretty much right, though its usage seems to be dropping; I only saw 1 of them so far this month.

I'll take the credit for the Walrein usage, as for most of May I used a hail team to great affect. It surprisingly dominated nearly everyone I played against, so I guess that's why he was so high.
Who was the one who used Sunkern again, I remember a few people were talking about it in the main chat or somewhere, I don't remember. Something makes me think it was KinglerDude, but I'm not sure. So let me get this straight, if someone ranked at the top(IPL) used Magicarp/Sunkern/Metapod/Weedle/whatever for only one match, they would all be at the top of the list because they were probably only used by him the entire month? So there would be no way to find an average becuse only oneplayer used them?

To be totally semantic and nitpicky in order to be as clear as possible, the title of this thread would be more accurate if "players" were replaced with "accounts". I may not be thinking about this the right way either, though, and I'd appreciate it if X-Act could weigh in.

EDIT: Wait, I think I see what you're saying. The more accounts there are, the lower everyone else's ranking is. Is that right? How is the ranking actually calculated? I suppose I should investigate before making further hypotheses. If players are actually whoring Wobbuffet in an effort to get it banned, that's very poor form. That doesn't show that Wobbuffet's powerful. It just shows that good players are using it in order to artificially raise its usage. Not cool.
