So we're through the first week and there's been a huge amount of NU games, with 17 played already :v4:

This gives us some interesting stats to look at as we see how Barraskewda and Rhyperior (and the absence of Muk / Gastro) has affected the tier.

| 58   | Palossand          |    1 |   2.94% |   0.00% |

Some interesting points to me:
  • Barraskewda and Rhyperior both have very low usage. Seems to me a lot of people are not yet ready to bring them or haven't built new teams to take advantage of them
  • Chandelure was touted as the big winner of shifts, but has struggled for wins. On the flip side, Incin is massively overperforming, probably people are over prepping for Chand and Incin is the best check by far.
  • Munki, Tsareena, and Scrafty are struggling. All these mons were recently upgraded in the VR, looks like prep work is targeting these top tier trends and working?
