USAGE STAT UPDATES:
As I am for now taking over the making of usage statistic graphics, this is what you can expect.
The first TWO months of a tiering cycle (Jan+Feb, June + May, etc) will be the direct statistics from that month, while the THIRD month (March, June, etc) will be the AVERAGE of the past 3 months. This will be indicated by the text on the top corner.
If I am still doing this when a new gen starts and tiers update monthly, every graphic will represent direct statistics
Only the top 40 Pokemon in usage will be shown, regardless of if they make the 4.52 cutoff (even though that doesn't matter for any other tiers)
For non tier shift months, a category on the side will be added to show likely changes to the tier for the next shift cycle. This will be limited to Pokemon that are either very close to actually changing tiers, or have had drastic changes that indicate a guaranteed shift (such as Terapagos in May 2025).
This thread will not contain the results of tier shifts, those will be posted elsewhere.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you all appreciate the graphics!
An update on usage stats:
Due to decreasing ladder games and this month especially making it clear most stats are based populated from the same people using the same teams (in sometimes less then 10 games), after discussion with Frito going forwards I will be focusing on instead making usage stats for tournaments featuring Ubers UU as they better reflect the state of the tier. This means posts will be less frequent, but hopefully more useful.
See you for the end of Super HA and UUbers Seasonal!
