>>45102813Well, you at least posted a statistic. A very shitty one, since VGCStats is horribly out of date because it only looks at in-person tournaments, which hasn't happened for months because of the pandemic and so the meta is developing through BSS play. There's a reason why I focused on best estimates of online play.
>When comparing literally any stage of the SWSH meta to another, the SWSH is automatically more centralized because of the dex cut.Again you're talking out your ass. The dex cut is a non-factor because in past gens only mons in the regional dex could be used in the first VGC of a gen.
>The fact that the SWSH meta had usage stats over 60% from the beginning is already a huge red flag.What usage stats? VGCStats shows that the highest stat for the first month was Togekiss at 51%.
