EDIT: Since X-Act published the statistics for September and October, I will update this topic with the proper data
I was interested in seeing how much a specific attacking type was present in the current metagame. X-act published at times statistics for the usage of single moves , but those data made people only know the usage of, say, Grass Knot or Energy Ball, but not the usage of a Special Grass move. So, I decided to sum up the percentages (since I did not have access to the numeric data, the margin of error could be around .02 or .03, depending on how many move resulted of a single type) and calculate the usage of single types.
Also, I'd like to point out that I didn't take into account moves with less than 0,05% usage, or moves with less than 40 base power, regardless of their usage. The latter choice resulted in the exclusion of Rapid Spin and Knock Off.
These are from the standard and suspect ladder. For UU and Uber, you will find a simila topic in the respective subforums. Enjoy.
Here are also the moves with occurred in the usage of every type, in order of usage (for the actual usage of every single move, you can read X-act's thread). The moves in italics have less than 1% usage.
