Smogon Shoddy Server Statistics - September 2008

Awesome stats. Any chance we could see hidden power usage split to show the type, though?

 

[DougJustDoug]

I'd like to do that in November. We'll see if I can get it done. I have several other programming projects that are priority right now. But, I'd like to break out the Hidden Powers.

It is abundantly clear from these stats that many many random noobs play Standard as well as the established players. The amount of noobs in the three other ladders is much less.

I just thought of something: Starting whenever Species Clause is properly implemented, Rotom Appliances will count as 1 Pokemon iirc. However, would it be possible to provide some sort of spread indicating how often the different forms were used? Just something like 35% Toaster, 25% Wash, 15% Cut, 15% Frost, 10% Spin? (I hope those add up to 100...) It would still help in deciding which Rotom form is most important to prepare for.

 

[Jenigmat]

Just look at the percent of each Rotom form carrying the special move.

 

[Lemmiwinks MkII]

Just look at the percent of each Rotom form carrying the special move.

That would be inaccurate though as not all of the Rotom forms used carry one of the special moves.

 

[Drab Emordnilap]

Yeah, but if they don't use a special move, it doesn't matter what form they are.

...Okay, what's wrong with this picture?

Anyways, these are quite interesting...

This seems as good a place as any to ask: why are Magmar and Electabuzz banned from UU?

They are not fully evolved. I think this belongs in the simple question thread.

Yeah, it seems stupid doesn't it. But don't worry, as I understand it, they'll be allowed in UU next month (although Magmortar will be allowed too, and I don't know if Magmar's extra Speed is worth it)!

That should be fixed soon.
