Don't forget about the Official Server statistics!

>_> Obviously most of us are primarily playing on the Smogon server these days but I still think they're kind of worth looking at.

Some interesting changes... for example, Deoxys-S apparently hasn't risen quite as quickly in Official, and neither has Azelf, who is still behind Gengar and is the #3 lead at Official. Bronzong and Blissey are a bit more popular on Official as well.

Also of note, Wobbuffet has dropped significantly at Official, and isn't even in the top fifty anymore... and Gengar has closed the gap to some degree between himself and Garchomp.


there's some other stuff but those are probably the most major differences that I noticed, so... discuss?
 
Gengar is closing slightly but not enough to make up for the huge gap created by Garchomp on Smogons server. Deoxys-Speed jumped all the way up to #7 and is finally turning out to be the dominant force that I predicted it to be. "But it has counters!" Lol.

There aren't really that many differences though...nothing really surprising.
 
Here's the full list down to Wobbuffet and the changes from last month.

Deoxys-S (+14), Dusknoir (+9), Breloom (+7), Yanmega (+6), Milotic (+13), Ninjask (+14), Jolteon (+8), Aerodactyl (+17), Weezing (+7)

Biggest losses:
Tyranitar (-6), Celebi (-10), Zapdos (-11), Machamp (-6), Jirachi (-14), Roserade (-8), Tentacruel (-11), Hippowdon (-8), Wobbuffet (-23)
 
Dusknoir going up is not a big surprise, it counters Deo-E/Azelf quite well. Tho it going up 9 when a few months ago it went down like 10 is a interesting fact.
 
Most surprised at Wobb dropping to 56. I have a feeling that his usage fluctuated with how the more competitive players were using him. Now since a majority of those players are playing on the Smogon server, there aren't as many trend setters on the Official server... (IMHO)

The other interesting thing is that Blissey hasn't taken quiet a fall as it did on the Smogon server, but I really don't have an explanation/opinion about that.
 
I am not sure how Weezing has gained a lot of usage yet it went from BL to UU...

You misunderstand the tiering. Weezing always had low enough usage for UU, it was just deemed too powerful. Now it's been moved down due to power, not usage.
