LilyAC vs Luthier - close to even, hopefully luthier copies a good team
kythr vs Toadow - kythrs looked rough but i think he can bounce back, plus even though toadow won last wk his mu was really good and he made some mistakes that let his opponent back in
Wail Wailord vs lax - pretty close, lax should probably cheese him, I'm favoring wail bc I think he should be advantaged in a balance vs balance game. This is probably the worst tier to put lax in though
Laroxyl vs dcae - dcae has looked very good these past 2 weeks
boulicrok vs daunt vs

Interesting Trends:
  1. Cumulative Usage: Natu and Ponyta have strong win rates for Pokemon that are moderately used (around 30% usage), winning in 60% of their uses. Ferroseed has the best winrate for a relatively high usage Pokemon, having a 48% usage and a win rate of 55%. Foongus is absolutely terrible performance wise in this metagame, being used 11 times and having a pitiful 27% win rate.
  2. Zigzagoon stays winning: It went 2/2 this week and is 5/6 in SCL. Is this Pokemon the second coming of Woobat?
  3. Performing Pick: This week's star was Natu, which went 4/4 after going 1/4 last week. With Ferroseed and Koffing being at an all-time high, Natu is the perfect Pokemon to punish these picks.
  4. Declining Performers: Staryu continues its declining trend, going 1/4 this week after a 0/2 showing last week. Ferroseed and Diglett being prevalent makes its life very difficult. Ponyta, the 2nd highest usage Pokemon last week, only saw 1 usage and lost. Again, Diglett is the biggest enemy.
