Metagame Overview

Observed Format Summary

OU (Over Used): The report covers 09/26/2026 to 10/10/2026, with 149,278 recorded battles. Great Tusk are classified as A tier in the displayed sample. Tier labels apply the site's usage and win-rate thresholds to the collected sample; they do not establish format balance or the strength of an individual Pokemon. Usage divides recorded team appearances by twice the battle count. Win rate divides wins by wins plus losses for teams containing the Pokemon. The collected battles are not a random sample of all ladder play.
