Wow, Hitmonlee fell to 78. Below Hitmonchan even. Guess that's him a guaranteed drop to NU then.
Yeah, Venusaur is awesome Pokemon in UU, but Roserade's promotion to OU must be slightly responsible for this usage increase.Venusaur has by no means reached the #1 spot simply because of its ability to somehow replace Roserade, and people seem not to be giving him the credit it deserves at all... but oh well I think this is no place for this kind of discussion.
On another none I sincerely expected a higher usage of Snovers, due to the amount of Hail teams. Maybe that's because this style is somewhat new to the tier though.
As always, thanks for the statistics Doug.
This. They're also probably the best support type with moves like Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Leech Seed, and Aromatherapy.One reason Grass types are frequently #1 on the UU ladder is because they're part of the very valuable and efficient Fire-Water-Grass combo that many players want in their UU teams.
The current cutoff is just above Snover, with Regirock being decently far above it.Based solely on this month's statistics, where is the actual cut-off between UU and NU?
I'm a bit worried that Magneton might fall back into NU. Espeon might drop down too, probably because a lot of people are using Alakazam instead of Espeon. And Snover might be UU come January, if it can maintain it's usage.
Lol, guess who is responsible for this? And I assure you, I didn't play 300+ battles.Ubers | Ninjask | Item | Liechi Berry | 49.8 |
Then wouldn't Fire and Water types be equally as high? I have to agree with Thund91, they are great supporters to every team, and are the base of all sunny day teams. Also, SD Venusaur + Power Whip is a beast.One reason Grass types are frequently #1 on the UU ladder is because they're part of the very valuable and efficient Fire-Water-Grass combo that many players want in their UU teams.
This is really high for Mewtwo, beating the DPP Dragons. And it's not like #1 and #2 slots are going to be given up (Groudon probably will not drop thanks to the massive support it gives to Ho-oh).| 3 | Mewtwo | 9863 | 36.37
It's pretty slim pickings for grass types in UU(Venusaur, Sceptile, Tangrowth and Torterra, really), and other types are represented decently(Arcanine #2, Milotic #12, Blaziken #18, Azumarill #21, Slowbro #22, Moltres #23, Feraligatr #24, Blastoise #25). 3 Fire types, 5 water types, and 1 grass type in the top 25. If people are going for the grass-fire-water combo, its obvious that they are using Venusaur as their grass type and any combination of fires/waters, as there is a greater quality/selection.Then wouldn't Fire and Water types be equally as high?

Yeah, Venusaur fits well on many UU teams because it can fulfill the support role (Sleep Powder, Leech Seed) or offensive role (SD). Its bulky too and has nice typing.It's pretty slim pickings for grass types in UU(Venusaur, Sceptile, Tangrowth and Torterra, really), and other types are represented decently(Arcanine #2, Milotic #12, Blaziken #18, Azumarill #21, Slowbro #22, Moltres #23, Feraligatr #24, Blastoise #25). 3 Fire types, 5 water types, and 1 grass type in the top 25.

Oh, right. Still, the point remains. There are less useful grass types in the top 25 than fire/water, so the core is often started with Venusaur(or Sceptile).u missed Sceptile at 19

Tangrowth is really only seen on Sunny Day teams, where it has the best chance to sweep. Sceptile and Torterra have been overshadowed a bit, Sceptile is still a powerful Special sweeper and Torterra is still a great tank especially in the UU environment.
