Smogon University PO Statistics — November 2011

Uhhhh ... no. Somebody who uses Zebstrika is more of a noob than others because at least those other three have some competitive value unlike the electric zebra.
the idea is that C/S/E have been stereotyped by people as mons that are only used by noobs (Zard because its like the original badass dragon, Pert because MUDKIPZ and Electivire because lolhit13typesSE)

Unlike Zebstrika, where nobody actually sees it and when someone actually uses it to great effect he's considered some sort of prodigy.

Yeah, slippery slope much?

On a serious note: thanks for the stats Antar, also will wait for Innocent Criminal for the ''full team statistics''
=)
Now looking on usage...
Great! Scizor get the crown but wow, 29% usage, of course, it was expected a little, I mean scizor with BP it's good to fight the majority of HO monster, and the little ''bonus'' for ''volturn'' teams, but i wasn't expecting so much usage percent from dragonite, oh well what do you know, in the end he got so much set and cb extremespeed it's still VERY valuable.
Deo-s on the rise (as expected) seems also that terrakion it's getting SOOOOO much love, even though he was a beast since the start, I suppose that MostWanted team got it's merits (cb <3)
Also, it seems that sun teams are loosing the edge, even though Excadrill was banned, can't blame them though.
Looking at OU, some really interesting things going on. Scizor is top usage just like it was early Platinum, that's just due to its versatility and power. Ferrothorn not being no. 1 is a nice surprise while some really interesting things are going up to OU, specifically Gorebyss, Alakazam, Chansey (FUCK YES) and Donphan going up, the latter two showing that balance and stall is finally starting to be recognized as a relevant playstyle with the bans of Excadrill and Thundurus, both of which majorly fucked it up.
eeeeeeh, I don't think so about the stall part.

LOL I was just thinking about making a team of the top 6 and how well I fare. The last thing should be a Gengar, adds more SpA offense and spin blocks :)

I personally prefer the rating cutoff because what it means we're looking at is players who have demonstrated a certain skill level. "Top 200" or whatever doesn't really tell you how good such trainers are (unless I published the rating of the 200th player, in which case I might as well just set that as the cutoff). And "top 1%" or something like that is COMPLETELY untenable because of the large number of dead alts.
Is there any way to base the 1337 stats on rating at the time of battle, rather than at the end of the month? I would think that would be a more accurate representation of what the best teams use, since the current method is pretty vulnerable to decay and tilts. It may be impossible since afaik the players' ratings aren't included in the battle logs, but if you can find a way I think that would be a big improvement.

Thanks for the fast stats once again.
 
For those watching the bottom of the barrel, Wormadam (Normal Form) is still holding onto its title of being the least used fully evolved Pokemon in any tier (sans Little Cup for obvious reasons).

In OU, it currently holds two uses, actually tying with Watchog. In UU though, it pulls ahead of Watchog with only 1 use, a major difference with Watchog racking up 12 uses. In RU and NU, Wormadam actually has no uses whatsoever. I guess it's not hard to see why when nearly every other grass type in existence outclasses you.

Those stats for the Clear Skies tier are horribly low. Is there any point in having its existence continue?

Wow, these tier shifts suck.

Goodbye Alakazam, Chansey, Jolteon, Mamoswine, Tornadus, Donphan. (Mamoswine is pretty legit in OU though)
Hello Bronzong & Swampert...? (Yeah sweet.)

Though i'm really glad that good Pokemon like Mew, Darmanitan & Chandelure safely in UU.
I'm glad Dugtrio is OU though, its a fucking stupid Pokemon and the less tiers its in the better.

PS: You can just tell that nobody good plays NU/very few players are playing the tier when fucking Klingklang is #2.
PS2: R.I.P Heysup
PS3: Klingklang isn't good. Its in a tier where Magmortar, Magneton, Emboar, (and a shitton of other neglected fire & electric types like Camerupt and Ampharos exist) It'd get rocked if NU was popular.
 
| 96 | Magneton | 107 |

WTF

also afaik klingklang is actually quite good in NU

edit:

| 179 | Aron | 936 | 0.199% | 735 | 0.187% |
| 180 | Durant | 909 | 0.193% | 704 | 0.179% |

Durant sucks
 

alphatron

Volt turn in every tier! I'm in despair!
Sun's doing pretty well in the 1337 stats category, reminding me of what someone said about the weather quite a long time ago.

the idea is that C/S/E have been stereotyped by people as mons that are only used by noobs (Zard because its like the original badass dragon, Pert because MUDKIPZ and Electivire because lolhit13typesSE)

Unlike Zebstrika, where nobody actually sees it and when someone actually uses it to great effect he's considered some sort of prodigy.

Yeah, slippery slope much?
Yeah, pretty much this. It's kind of upsetting to be honest.

~Attention entire world, hear my proclamation. I am Scizor, Emperor of the Holy BW OU metagame and your only ruler. Dragonite has surrendered to me. As a result of this, I'm now in control of both the U-turn and the Bullet Punch spam effects. ... Yes, from this day, from this moment on, the world belongs to me. Scizor commands you, obey me, subject! Obey me, world!~
 
Oh stfu Scizor, Kyogre the real God of Pokemon commands you!

I personally prefer the rating cutoff because what it means we're looking at is players who have demonstrated a certain skill level. "Top 200" or whatever doesn't really tell you how good such trainers are (unless I published the rating of the 200th player, in which case I might as well just set that as the cutoff). And "top 1%" or something like that is COMPLETELY untenable because of the large number of dead alts.
Can you lower the rating cutoff for the less active ladders then?
 
hell yea! November stats, now that we got the NU tier settled and all our tiers had time to settle after the October shake-up, I'll be glad to see what pokemon are the used the most and what not, time to stare at this for hours lol

Edit: I'm glad Jynx and Torterra have gotten more usage in NU but Jynx really SHOULD be higher. Such an amazing pokemon, I don't even know if it has any counters. Because what counters it (Slowking) can't even do much to it unless it has Flamethrower / Fire Blast.

I'm not surprised Scizor is king of OU ha ha! He's on a fuckload of teams with Rotom-W, I'm surprised politoed and t-tar are lower than Ferrothorn....
 
YEAAAAAHHHHHH I knew Sonic2Slow would make it to number one! ;)

I really find the only reason why people find him so troublesome is that he can use the SwitchTurn combo. But I only find that threatening because everyone and their mother's use Terrakion. <.<

But, I think my friend would be as excited as I was when I saw Scizor at number 1!
 
On a whim, I decided to look at who would fall into a hypothetical tier below NU (I'm calling it "PU"--English speakers, say it out loud), if the tiers were based on this month's stats alone.

Here are the non-NFEs on that list (I might have missed some who were just never used at all in NU):

Code:

I'm rather shocked by some of the names on that list: Audino is a beast in RU. I know Amoongus is slow, but it has access to friggin' spore! Ninjask, what the hell happened? You used to be OU!

By the way, based on the fact that NU had more battles last month than LC and almost as many as Ubers, I don't think it's inconceivable that the server could actually support a "PU" tier. But that's just my opinion.

[Edit: If we do end up implementing "PU," the question becomes what do we call the tier below THAT? My answer? What each of the pokemon on that list says to GameFreak: "FU"]

^^What about CU (Completely Unviable)? The name could also refer to the Pokémon residing there, because we will only see them again if they ever get another evolution, and training said Pokémon becomes a mandatory step in obtaining the evolution.

It will be the tier for such things as Choice Scarf Magcargo or Focus Sash Bastiodon. Band Butterfree run rampant, and Life Orb Wobbuffet lurk around every corner. You can even risk meeting Expert Belt Delcatty. At least it's a place Luvdisc can call a home.

I don't think that's a good idea. A niche pokemon like Ninjask will probably end up in the lowest tier because people don't really use it in any particular metagame. That doesn't mean it's completely unviable, after all, it was OU in 4th Gen. The metagame hasn't changed that much. :p
 
...Expert Belt Delcatty...
Clever.

Anyway, my brokemon Scrafty didn't feel like moving, but it's meatshield Reuniclus moved up two spots, which is great.

Also, to those preaching Dragonite's downfall; it got used 4% more than last month. It's just that Scizor rose even more. This makes me wonder: is there an easy way we can show the usage percentage shifts instead of ranking shifts? Because ranking doesn't say that much. A pokemon can get used more and still drop in ranking, like Dragonite.
