I used DougJustDoug's statistics to work out how many Pokemon are used in 75% of teams.
Note that this is different from 'used in 75% of battles'. The problem is that Doug counted not just the Pokemon that appear in a battle, but all the Pokemon that feature in a team, even if some of them end up not being used in a battle. So if a team had Metagross and it ended up not being used in a battle at all, Colin's usages list would not have counted it as a usage, whereas Doug did.
Anyway, this is what I found:
75% of OU teams select their 6 Pokemon from 42 Pokemon:
75% of UU teams select their 6 Pokemon from 39 Pokemon:
75% of Uber teams select their 6 Pokemon from 15 Pokemon:
That means that UU as it is now is even more centralising than OU!
