The Battle Spot usage stats are up!
Now we can finally know which pokemon are good as determined by which ones are used the most.

Why is Kartana high in all formats but Special (in which it appears to be replaced by Pheromosa)? Does Lunala slay it or something?

Seems like it.
Special is the you get to use one pokemon that would normally be banned format.

I guess since it's guaranteed a free turn no matter what people would prefer it hit hard rather than first.

This doesn't surprise me even a little. I've been using Porygon2 and I've seen all of these Pokémon pretty commonly, ESPECIALLY Tapu Koko.

I like Garchomp, but I feel it is a bit high given its competition.
Is it possible that people are relying on it because of its "tried and true" status?

In Smogon singles it's base speed with Jolly is actually relevant.

Here sadly it already jobs to a lot of stuff so they would rather hit hard twice, or set up on a slow mon and hit once very hard.

It's a matter of what do you expect to use it and how would it be countered.

Nothing does Garchomp's job as effectively as it does, it's basically the perfect singles mon

Gluttony with the 50% healing berries is very good, just like Muk. There have been some successful teams lately using it to set up sweeps with Curse/Belly Drum

out of those I use Gyarados, Mimikyu, and Celesteela.

Mega Gyarados especially I get incredible mileage with in Battle Spot, between the attack drop, getting free switch ins on Earthquakes, fucking over people who mispredict the Mega Evolution, and being able to set up DD.

I'd assume (don't hold me to this) that it is one part the massive special trend of the meta, and on top of that, how little fighting there is. Arcanine is literally the only reliable source of physical fighting moves in that top 10, and I'm not sure if an Arcanine Close Combat can put down a snorlax anyways, or if the most common Arcanine sets even use it.

Well no surprise mimikyu is up there, free switch in swords dance tends to fuck things over.
Though I thought the common nature would be jolly, not adamant.
Overkilling doesn't get you points or something.

It's pretty weak with Jolly, and the speed increase isn't that important right now since most common stuff is either really fast or really slow

>>31508663
Basically, the boost to speed doesn't make or break anything important, while the power does. The things Mimikyu is fighting either aren't fast enough to speed-creep it, or so fast Mimikyu won't catch up anyways, mostly the first. On the other hand, putting the biggest dent into something you might otherwise just annoy is always a good idea, especially when you are relying on Shadow Sneak for some of that damage.

Very well.
In a sense, Scizor is the ideal Mega. It is a splendid use of the slot, yet can function admirably without the stone. Its core function does not change, just the subtleties of how it does it. Mega-Scizor is a direct upgrade to a Pokemon that can live without it.
