>>58278659Floatzel I mentally lumped in with Buizel, but Milotic, Feraligatr, Suicune, Dewott, and Inteleon are 87th, 69th, 86th, 80th, and 70th respectively. The fact of the matter is that those 'mons are just not making THAT much of a dent in the overall porn stats (especially not when you have other Pokemon in the same vicinity counter-repping other types, like Houndoom at 64th or Furret at 79th). It being a popular type is, in fact, part of why I say it underperforms in this particular arena - because it absolutely does and I'm VERY confident
>>58278667 's data will reflect that. This is as opposed to something like bug, which wouldn't be expected to perform in this arena to begin with.
>>58278667I'm pretty sure there isn't a soul in existence who cares about Walking Wake as a potential smash, but certainly getting a water starter that isn't friggin' Quaquaval would help. It managed to be so unappealing it barely has more porn than Zigzagoon...
>>58278675You're not grasping the economy of scale here. The reason I stopped at the top 50 is that every Pokemon you go further down has progressively less and less impact on the overall count, especially, again, when they're competing with lower count 'mons of other types. It's not like it suddenly becomes all water further down.
>>58278748I just did the top 30 this time (31, actually. Every 'mon with more than 7K images, since things seem to get a lot more chaotic in terms of ranking changes compared to e621 below that), but we see similar overall trends:
Fire: 99,781
Psychic: 75,792
Dark: 65,411
Fairy: 58,183
Fighting: 57,484
Electric: 56,677
Normal: 54,653
Steel: 39,635
Flying: 26,271
Grass: 19,605
Water: 19,112
Ice: 17,540
Rock: 11,227
Dragon: 9,148
That is to say fire dominance, dark and psychic's strong performance and water's underperformance, and fighting and electric being carried by Pikachu and Lucario. Poison and Ghost don't get a look in this time because Salazzle and Gengar are between 30 and 50.
