We can see so far that Bisharp is at the top of the pack with 6 uses, but has an underwhelming 33% winrate. Following closely behind are jirachi, cyclizar, gapdos, slowbro and salamence, with all besides mence having an 80% winrate, with mence itself having an underwhelming 20% winrate. Interestingly, pokemon such as Hippowdon, Krookodile and Volcanion were only used once. These are still the early stages, so things may change later on.
 
The pools stage for LTWC is over, so let's see some of those stats.

Some take aways:
Bisharp is the worst performing of the top 10, with a bad 38% winrate, jirachi is not too far ahead with a 40% winrate, but it was also used nearly double the amount that bisharp was.
Mamoswine and salamence lead the top 10 with 62% and 60% winrate respectfully. One of them is getting a suspect, so the brokens may be showing :worrywhirl:
Blissey got brought 10 times, so since it primarily fits on stall, we can assume stall was brought 10 times.... if chansey wasn't also brought 3 times seriously wtf people. 13 stalls, 10 of them good, 3 of them bad.
Suicune is lagging far behind with 2 uses and 0% winrate, this offense heavy meta just does not suit it at all.
Gastrodon is also at a pretty low winrate with 31% winrate, so uh, volcanion should have been eating if it wasn't for the 42% winrate it was sporting as well.
Crawdaunt is at 26th in usage and has a high 70% winrate. I swear man, people gotta respect this mon more.
Gardevoir also has a pretty high winrate at 63%.
