Knows the great enthusiasms
As anyone with half a brain expected, OU shook up considerably last month with Salamence getting the boot to Ubers. Even though Salamence was on the OU ladder for part of the month, the back end of July with Mence gone was plenty to cause some upheavals in the pokemon rankings.
The biggest change is Scizor being unseated by Heatran as the most popular pokemon in the land. Dragonite leaps 13 spots all the way up to the 11th position, and looks to increase that position next month with a full month of play with its big, bad cousin Mence out of the way. Also Starmie made a bold jump up to the 5th spot, although I'm not exactly sure why...
Over in UU, you'll notice the top spot has been usurped as well, with Milotic narrowly edging out Venusaur, who has held the spot for the past several months. I won't even begin to speculate as to the reasoning for any of the moves in UU, but will rely on our intrepid UU stat geeks to give us all the inside skinny.
These stats were gathered from 605,971 individual battles that were fought during the month of July on the Smogon Shoddy Battle Server. Usage and Leads are listed in the posts directly below this one.
Happy stat hunting!
