I was interested to know which Pokemon switch into other Pokemon more often. To do so, I used Colin's latest 'Switch-in' stats and Doug's 'Usage' stats.

What I did is the following: I wrote a simple program that parses through Colin's files, and sums up each switch-in for each Pokemon. Then I divided this total by that Pokemon's usage.

Remember, a Pokemon is said to be 'used' (in Doug's sense) if it was part of a team when a player plays a battle. It doesn't actually need to take part of the battle in order for the usage statistics to mark it as being 'used'. For example, if a player wins 6-0 against another player by sweeping it with his lead Pokemon, Doug's stats would still count all 6 Pokemon of this team as being 'used'. Likewise, if a player forfeits immediately at the start of the game, both players' full team of Pokemon would be counted as being 'used'.

Anyway, here, then, are the average amount of switch-ins (as defined by Colin in his thread) that each Pokemon does in every team. They are listed in the following format:
Code:
<Rank> POKEMON was switched in <average switch-ins> times per usage (<total switch-ins>/<amount of usage>).
For example, from the Standard ladder:
Code:
 15. SCIZOR was switched in 1.284 times per usage (313856/244266).
They can be found in the following links:

Hopefully you'll find this of use.
 
Thanks for your work. I'm suprised Tyranitar is so low at 73 he's really easy to switch in against Latias and Rotom.

This is something that is useful to assess how badly a pokemon will get worn down by entry hazards, I guess. Nice work X-Act!
 
thanks for the stats!

1. CARVANHA was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).
2. WAILMER was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).
3. WORMADAM was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).

Yeah, we whould perhaps remove the 'anomalies' from the list, so we get something like

1. CHANSEY was switched in 1.974 times per usage (13903/7043).
2. MILOTIC was switched in 1.512 times per usage (27119/17932).
3. QUAGSIRE was switched in 1.48 times per usage (2362/1595).
4. REGISTEEL was switched in 1.464 times per usage (26781/18291).
5. SLOWBRO was switched in 1.436 times per usage (11365/7912).
6. SLAKING was switched in 1.431 times per usage (1800/1257).
7. DONPHAN was switched in 1.403 times per usage (24910/17745).
8. CLEFABLE was switched in 1.381 times per usage (13752/9955).
9. BLASTOISE was switched in 1.38 times per usage (4698/3403).
10. WEEZING was switched in 1.377 times per usage (5252/3812).
11. DUSCLOPS was switched in 1.358 times per usage (2065/1520).
instead of

1. CARVANHA was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).
2. WAILMER was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).
3. WORMADAM was switched in 3.0 times per usage (3/1).
4. TANGELA was switched in 2.5 times per usage (5/2).
5. ELEKID was switched in 2.0 times per usage (2/1).
6. SKORUPI was switched in 2.0 times per usage (2/1).
7. CHANSEY was switched in 1.974 times per usage (13903/7043).
8. LAIRON was switched in 1.888 times per usage (17/9).
9. POLITOED was switched in 1.544 times per usage (465/301).
10. MILOTIC was switched in 1.512 times per usage (27119/17932).
11. QUAGSIRE was switched in 1.48 times per usage (2362/1595).
These stats are so awesome though!
 
5. SPINARAK was switched in 1.4 times per usage (7/5).
Uhh, yeah...

These are usefull though. It just shows how much stall teams switch, which is a bit alarming. This is why passive damage is so usefull I guess.
 
this is a very useful and informative list. thank you for your work.

i think it would be good to put minimum usage criteria to filter out said statistical anomalies and get a true ranking system.
