      Frequently Asked Questions

      What does "1760+ usage" mean?

      Usage statistics are filtered to only include teams from players rated 1760 or higher on Pokémon Showdown ladder. This ensures the data reflects competitive play rather than casual matches.

      Where does the data come from?

      Usage data comes from Smogon's monthly statistics. Replay evidence comes from Pokémon Showdown's official replay database, filtered for high-rated matches.

      Why are replays from 1700+ but usage is 1760+?

      Smogon uses 1760 as their high-rated cutoff for statistics. We use 1700+ for replays to ensure sufficient sample size while still representing competitive play.

      How often is the data updated?

      Usage statistics are updated monthly when Smogon publishes new data. Replays are fetched weekly to provide fresh evidence for counter guides and team samples.
