Ubers Usage Change, March->April
Pokemon in the top 50 for both months, ordered by April usage. The fish fool trick slightly interfered with these stats (more Pokemon will drop than rise), but the fish themselves are filtered out since they were not high in March.

Lead Change stats coming sometime after I sort out the Mirror Match Tournament. - Done

Previous change stats:
Jan/Feb -> March

And my pokestats sheet with all the data collected on shoddy dating back to the official server is mostly done, will try and set it up for easy trend graph generation.
 
Whoa. That's one huge increase in Aero usage. 3rd highest increase this month (and of course, Scizor HAS to be #1 at everything >_>).
 
Lead Change stats for all standard tiers now up.

Anyway, considering the huge drop in three of scizor's best and most common counters (Heatran, Rotom-A and Gyarados) over the last few months along with it's own drop, it's no surprise that Scizor jumped back up a bit this time. What is slightly surprising is that Rotom-A, Latias, and Jirachi all dropped significantly this month. ~1.8% for the latter two, and a whopping 2.2% for Rotom-A. Though, tbh, Ou is pretty damn stable compared to everything else. Dialga jumped over 6% in one month, and a majority of the top 15 had more than a 1% shift.

UU seems to be noticeably decentralising (both leads and usage), while Ubers is just utter chaos. What's going on Ubers players?
 
Machamp is one of the most difficult leads to counter. You can't sleep them, you can't OHKO them (they all run enough HP/SpD to survive psychic), and you can't reliably counter them because of dynamicpunch and payback. Any rotom or spec azelf attempt could easily be stopped by the common ttar or scizor for a free KO.

It's quite unfortunate that good Machamp counters like Dusknoir (wow, this is something that Dusknoir does better then Rotom forms :D) or Slowbro are easily beaten by Pursuit users. Maybe people should start using Spiritomb ? It works on a lead reasonably well (Shadow Sneak for Azelf, etc.) or at least outside of lead. And unlike mentioned earlier mons he doesn't die to strong pursuit. I think it's seriously worth consideration with rising Machamp usage.

Most of those changes aren't that surprising however... +2.12% on Darkrai in one month ? People starts to use it again that much ? I didn't played for a while in Ubers, however I still think that Chesto/Lum berry on most leads is still standard, so I may say it's strange. But maybe that changed - I'm not sure ;).
 
The whole Magikarp thing's messed up ubers a bit. I predict a bunch of copycat attempts using other crap like Sunkern.
