thanks for the stats

wow what happened to ice beam o.o out of the top 5 both months
and of course thunderbolt is higher, probably due to the increase in gyarados?
and of course stealth rock is as high as ever
 
All the differences between Suspect and standard are expected and unsurprising, more SD, EQ, and Dragon attacks. But shouldn't "Suspect Ladder Moves Used - September:" be October instead? I don't think Suspect was up in September.
 
Lol, had I waited 10 more mins I would have spared about 1 hour of work^^ Whatever, expect the "move type frequency" thread being updated soon!

BTW, good job X-act!
 
Looks like Suspect is Scizor and Garchomp... I mean, most of the top 10 moves are commonly used by one, or the other.

Of course, other pokemon do use those moves, but with Garchomp being on 70% of teams, a lot of the use of any Garchomp move is... Garchomp's doing.
 
thanks for the stats

wow what happened to ice beam o.o out of the top 5 both months
Yeah, it happens. I guess more Pokemon resisting it are popping up, and BoltBeam is less effective with more Magnezone running around.

and of course thunderbolt is higher, probably due to the increase in gyarados?
More to do with the increase in Latios / Latias, and Rotom.

and of course stealth rock is as high as ever
Of course!
 
Thanks for the work. To be honest, I thought HP Ice or HP Fire would be much higher considering the number of Dragons and Scizor.
