Smogon University PO Statistics — November 2011

Status
Not open for further replies.
I just updated the post with the new statistics, and 1337 stats should follow shortly.

Nice work!

Code:
Weatherless : 48.2%
Sand : 23.6%
Rain : 20.0%
Sun : 8.1%

Weatherless is just shy of 50%, and--after all that griping about how Rain-stall was going to dominate a post-Excadrill metagame, it appears that we're seeing the exact opposite.

Edit: Also, I'm poring over the moveset analyses--this is truly awesome. Pro tip for perusers: Ctrl-F is your friend.
 
Raikou:
| Move | 71.8 | Aura Sphere
| Nature | 33.2 | Rash

Well, at least 46% of the people who use Aura Sphere Raikou are honest in keeping up with the move/nature restrictions.
 
Looking at the LC moveset analysis:

Only 13% of Chous are Agilichous. Interesting.
 
Innocent criminal, I only wish the top two movesets in your detailed stats included what percentage of all movesets they are...

after looking through them and seeing one poke's "most common set" being one with an item it only holds 20% of the time, im starting to question the relevance of that part of the stats...

Also, separating natures and ev spreads makes any attempt at creating speed tiers an absolute crapshoot
 
God.... I haven't played competitive Pokemon in a while, but I do enjoy stats. That being said, it's cool to see good ol' Scizor at #1 and Terrakion so high....

The common item could be used with many sets with slight variations, while the uncommon item has a single set it uses, and so can be the most common moveset
Thanks for the stats guys, really interesting!

This is from NU. Now the question is, are 12.2% of Dugtrio users absolute morons or is it the default ability and they didn't change it (still a stupid move, but an understandable one)

EDIT: I checked, it is the default ability. So 12.2% of people just didn't fix it...

EDIT again:
These were calculated using data from players with a rating higher than 1100 at the time of battle.

Weee're back to confusion. Yea I know 1100 isn't that high, but still...
 
| Dugtrio |
| Ability | 12.2 | Sand Veil |

This is from NU. Now the question is, are 12.2% of Dugtrio users absolute morons or is it the default ability and they didn't change it (still a stupid move, but an understandable one)

I would guess default ability. Seeing as there isn't any sand in NU even if you are an absolute moron there's no reason to run Sand Veil.
 
I really hope that Swampert gets a spike in usage next month. That beast is too powerful and awesome to be anything lower than OU.

trust me, it won't, it's outclassed by a ton of things...

I'm liking seeing Dugtrio in OU range. With weather wars involving a ton of switching, a lot of hazards damage gets racked up, putting a bunch of things in Band Dugtrio's KO range.

This thing should have been OU from the start imo.
 
People didn't like Duggy because he didn't exactly KO all the new mons in OU. If you get hazards set up and have enough passive damage yes dugtrio can put the nail in the coffin in a battle.
 
The common item could be used with many sets with slight variations, while the uncommon item has a single set it uses, and so can be the most common moveset
Thanks for the stats guys, really interesting!

Exactly, I know that...the thing is, that makes that particular metric completely useless unless the percentage is shown
 
Pretty much every pokemon that has an increase in ranking position is a typically offensive pokemon.

So when we gonna boot Deoxys-S?

Yeah, the base 80 Atk really hinders Dugtrio. 252 HP Tyranitar isn't OHKOed by his Earthquake. :/

At least he has the Speed to make his revenge killing or trapping worthwhile, as well as an immunity to take advantage of.
 
OU Weather stats

Weatherless : 48.2%

Sand : 23.6%
Rain : 20.0%
Sun : 8.1%

Will people stop complaining about Rain now? It's a force in the metagame clearly, but obviously not dominating it. Hell, look at this!

1337 OU weather stats

Weatherless : 38.0%
Sand : 35.2%
Rain : 18.7%
Sun : 8.1%

Clearly Rain is not dominating shit. It's a significant force but not the entire metagame. In fact having played a fair bit over the past few days I'd have to say the metagame is the most diverse its been yet. Weather doesn't rule the roost nearly as much. The only thing I'm getting sick of is Volt-turning. Not that hard to beat but it's being used so much it's just plain annoying. Hopefully that'll level out after a while as people start using the (many) easy solutions to it.

I would like to point out though that not all the usage of Scizor and Rotom-W is on full Volt-Turning teams. Frequently it's just the two of them with one other turner as a scouting core, or them being used individually. You don't need to combine them for them to be effective. However the bottom line is that Scizor and Rotom-W just make great teammates. They cover eachother's weaknesses very well. It makes sense that they'd show up a lot, with them having such enormous utility and also complimenting eachother so well.

Scizor move usage: | Move | 99.9 | Bullet Punch

When you see that, you think "well that's no surprise". When I see that I think "99.9%? Who the hell ran Scizor WITHOUT Bullet Punch?"

I think you should note that a lot of teams just slap a Tyranitar on their because they just don't want an opponent to have their weather up. Ttar is by far the easiest weather inducer to fit onto a team and if you don;t want an opponent to have weather, but don't want a weather playstyles; use Tyranitar.

Arceus for troll tier :P
 
Your reign was quite short, Dragonite.
BST 500 ftw.
Poor Ttar, nobody likes him anymore, he's out of top5 :(
Starmie #14 - hell yeah.
Mewtwo is a boss.
 
Not surprised to see Starmie up. She deals with hazard Deoxys-S very effectively.

And lol, I love that only the best players realize what a boss Mamoswine is. And Terrakion, too. You just can't wall that guy.
 
Until we have a Fire/Grass pokemon expect Rotom/Scizy to be here for a while. I'm glad that the decision to ban Excadrill and Thundrus had it's effects shown clearly here. Weather is not a "OMG use it you noob" anymore.

VoltTurn is pretty annoying, but not impossible to deal with. There are ways to defeat the combo here.

And Terrakion, too. You just can't wall that guy.

Yes. You need to use a resisting Pokemon to even check it. That said, you can take advantage of Terrakion's 108 base Speed and outspeed it with something like Latios or Starmie. Super effective priority scares off Terrakion as well.

Terrakion is almost impossible to wall, but it still has its flaws.
 
I have comments for some oddities within OU:
Code:
| Ninetales @ Leftovers
 | Drought
 | 88 HP / 252 SpA / 168 Spe
 | - SolarBeam
 | - Fire Blast
 | - Hidden Power
 | - Sunny Day
Looks like New World Order's Sunny Day Ninetales caught on. Can't say I blame Drought players for this because the majority of Tyranitar and Politoed are ridiculously defensive. Speaking of which...
Code:
 | Tyranitar @ Leftovers
 | Sand Stream
 | 252 HP / 64 SpA / 192 SpD
 | Sassy
 | - Ice Beam
 | - Fire Blast
 | - Crunch
| - Stealth Rock
As if the majority Gliscor and Ferrothorn players didn't know Tyranitar who hold LEFTOVERs have Ice Beam and Fire Blast. Always (and by the way stop using it for Dragonite, because it's not for Dragonite).
Code:
 | Jirachi @ Leftovers
 | Serene Grace
 | 252 HP / 252 Spe 
 | Timid
 | - Thunder
 | - Substitute
 | - Calm Mind 
 | - Water Pulse
Okay, why can't this thing run more defense EVs? Better yet, just use enough EVs to outrun neutral base 90 Pokemon or something, because I'm not seeing anything Jirachi should outrun (besides lol Lucario).
Code:
 | Jellicent @ Leftovers                 | Jellicent @ Leftovers      
 | Water Absorb                          | Water Absorb

 | - Recover                             | - Surf      
 | - Will-O-Wisp                         | - Recover        
 | - Taunt                               | - Will-O-Wisp      
 | - Scald                               | - Taunt
Astounding. People actually use Surf.

 | - Leaf Storm                          | - Nasty Plot                          |
How interesting. A Thunder Wave-less version of U-turn Celebi's getting around (I suppose due to the need for a bulky, powerful attacker that isn't Pursuit bait), but seriously? 36 Spe? People might as well run Modest + 160 Spe or something, because in the end it's not a big difference.

What a relief. People finally aren't using Timid Wobb (which is fairly unproductive for a number of reasons, though I know the benefit).

Saddening, and not for the good reasons. Keep that LumSpeed Dragonite coming, people.
