Data Usage-Based Tier Update for July 2025 (August @ #44)

For those interested in SU, there are no quickdrops this month. Projected changes are as follows:

Mismagius could move from SUBL to ZU
Cacturne could move from SU to ZU
Lurantis could move from SU to ZU
Rotom could move from SU to ZU
Sableye could move from SU to ZU
Sandaconda could move from SU to ZU

Farigiraf could move from ZU to SUBL
Virizion could move from ZU to SUBL
Perrserker could move from ZU to SU
Toedscruel could move from ZU to SU
Hattrem could move from ZU to NFE
 
When it comes to rises to NU, hound is basically gone which is fine, its not an amazing mon but its interesting how it nearly got 9% usage in NU when its not even that good in the tier. Whats even more shocking is hound at 14% in PU tho. Also NU at least let us sus glowbro first before taking it back pls and ty.
People want Flamigo checks. Hound and Glowbro are Flamigo checks.
 
And here are the tiering projections for Natdex if anyone's curious(and also cos no one else seems to be doing them):

Cinderace could move from NDUUBL to NDOU
Clefable could move from NDUU to NDOU

Tapu Fini could move from NDOU to NDUU

Pecharunt could move from NDRUBL to NDUU
Goodra-Hisui could move from NDRU to NDUU
Nidoking could move from NDRU to NDUU
Thundurus could move from NDRU to NDUU

Gardevoir-Mega could move from NDUU to NDRUBL
Heracross-Mega could move from NDUU to NDRUBL
Mienshao could move from NDUU to NDRUBL
Moltres-Galar could move from NDUU to NDRUBL
Sableye-Mega could move from NDUU to NDRUBL
Blissey could move from NDUU to NDRU
Garganacl could move from NDUU to NDRU
Hydrapple could move from NDUU to NDRU
Hydreigon could move from NDUU to NDRU
Slowbro-Galar could move from NDUU to NDRU
Slowbro-Mega could move from NDUU to NDRU
Zeraora could move from NDUU to NDRU
 
A D rank not only being top 20 but having over 10% usage in the big 25? There are A ranks that aren’t even RU by usage! Where is the quality control?
Ladder. This is why we need an RU by technicality (RU) tier. This simply wouldn’t be particularly hard to implement and you would only need it for RU and NU rn. The mons that would fall into these are:

RU: Forretress, (chansey next vr update)
NU: Braviary, Galvantula, Vileplume
(There would technically be ZU mons but since ps doesnt even give SU a ladder i highly doubt that theyd do ZU by technicality but hey if you wanna implement it ;) )
