It's working as designed as far as I can tell. it's just that, for some reason, Talonflame only has two significant teammates.

It happens for p much every Pokemon though so idk ?? o.o?

Is this problem contained to just one or two moveset stats? Because Pokebank OU looked fine to me.

Seems like it happens more or is more prominent for Pokemon higher up in usage.

That's what you'd expect: if everyone (and their dog) is using Talonflame, there are going to be very few teammates that stick out.

It's not only Talonflame though haha. Even Klefki (#25) gets l Furfou? idk.
Anyway is there a thread or some documentation about how teammates are calculated? I checked September's OU usage and yea Scizor had Deino as a teammate LOL so I guess you're right xD sorry for the trouble! >_>!

It's pretty straightforward statistics. Say Talonflame is used on 50% of teams and Aegislash is used on 30% of teams. Then look at all the teams with both Talonflame AND Aegislash and compare that to the expected (30%). If it's actually higher, then they're teammates. For the actual math, it's P(X|Y)-P(X).

Math is awesome haha. So that ends up with P(X n Y) - P(X)*P(Y) so if P(X n Y)>P(X)*P(Y) then they're teammates ? Isn't the expected 15% anyway haha. I think I sorta get it. If the real value is less than the expected value then they just happen to be on the same team or am I wrong? haha xD

Sorry, typo. The expected is indeed 15%. But yes, if if P(X|Y)>P(X)*P(Y), then they're teammates. But note that P(X|Y)-P(X) is not necessarily equal to P(Y|X)-P(Y), even though both should have the same sign.
