Not sure if this is a bug so much as it is an unwanted consequence of intentional design. If the moderators feel this would be more appropriate in suggestions, please do let me know.
Gen 4 1v1 usage statistics currently only show data for the Pokemon each player actually picked, rather than including the other two Pokemon in the count like Gens 5+ do. I understand that Gen 4 formats in general do this because there is no Team Preview for games in that format, hence the chance exists that some Pokemon on a player's team might not be revealed; the problem for Gen 4 1v1, however, is that it has Team Preview modded in for the sake of making the format more competitive, meaning that all 3 Pokemon on a player's team are shown to the opponent before each side makes their pick.
While I'm not entirely confident on what the underlying code or mechanisms or whatever may be, I do believe that there might be some level of inheritance of the Gen 4 logic of "not sent out = not revealed = not used". If that logic could somehow be altered to use the Gen 5+ logic that includes Team Preview and data for all team members, that'd be great.
For the sake of showcasing exactly what I mean, take the Week 1 usage stats for all 4 DPP matches for the ongoing 1v1 Premier League:
Now consider all the Pokemon used in just this single series from last week:

And then compare the usage stats of just this series when recreated in Gen 5:
I hope this gets across what exactly the issue is and that it can be fixed sometime before the PL ends and all the data is gathered and finalized in a couple months. Thanks for reading.
