>>46820046Lando-T only has that high usage when you limit it to 1695+. Over all of OU, it only has 24% usage. Sure, higher level players use Lando a lot more, but they also use it to enable unorthodox Pokemon far more than what you'd see in VGC. That you see Nidoking in Smogon OU at a decent usage rate, while it never shows up in VGC is a testament to how much healthier OU is than VGC.
>got the links to the usage stats?Sadly, no, Smogon doesn't compile usage stats for their tourneys, only for general play. But Scizor was on a healthy amount of teams, and performed really well on a game-to-game basis due to the underperformance of Moltres and Zapdos.
It did so well that Scizor actually charted in the 1800+ bracket for OU, which is mostly tourney players. Mind you, the tournament ended on March 28th.
