Thank you, X-Act. Since I have some time in my hands, I'm gonna post a "move type frequency" thread for CAP too! Just give me a day or two^^

EDIT: Funny thing. Not only CAP is the only environment where Earth Power gets this sky high usage (10% compared to 3% ca. is huge) but it is only the first time I see Flamethrower more used than Fire Blast. Considering that no CAP has Flamethrower and not Fire Blast, I must say that CAP people are really conservative battlers! :-)

EDIT2: Ah, my comment obviously refers to the October data, since November data are heavily influenced by Colossoil playtest and so do not represent the CAP metagame properly.

Note that EQ is even more used than usual and Ice Beam/Surf are near tops. Colossoil is epic win...

Holy toledo...

i wouldn't say it stopped the secondary, but colossoil definitely seems to have had an impact. i have no explanation for rapid spin's drop in usage, but crunch doubling is hilarious. colossoil is massive.

thanks x-act!

Rapid spins drop is easily explained: If there is no secondary, what is there to spin away? Leech Seed? Not likely.

EDIT: Oh, and then there's Moonlight. In October, Morning sun was (comparitively) popular, and Moonlight was "Other". Now, the roles are switched around.
