np: Biffy Clyro - Shock Shock
Shoddybattle statistics provide both weighted and unweighted usages of Pokemon. Since the weighted usage of a Pokemon is simply the sum of the ladder rankings of the players using it at that time, then we can calculate the average player ladder ranking for each Pokemon as follows:
Average Player Ladder Ranking = Weighted Usage / Unweighted Usage
This can tell us which Pokemon are used by the best players.
I decided to do this for the top 250 Pokemon in the weighted list. I then found the average and standard deviation ranking for these 250 Pokemon. Those Pokemon that are above the mean+standard deviation were then considered to be used by 'expert' players. Those Pokemon that are below the mean-standard deviation were considered to be used by 'novice' players. All the others (being within one standard deviation from the mean) were deemed to be used by 'normal' players.
Here are, then, the Pokemon used by the 'expert' players, and their ranking in May's weighted list:
Now the Pokemon used by 'normal' players:
And the Pokemon used by 'novice' players:
In all three lists above, the bolded Pokemon are those that are considered OU right now, while the italics ones are those that are probably going to be OU come next July 1st.
Unsurprisingly, most Pokemon that are used by 'expert' players are OU. The Pokemon being used by the highest ranked players on average, interestingly, is none other than Wobbuffet, while Electivire is the Pokemon in OU with the lowest ranked players using it. The average player ranking out of that list is 1148.53, and Electivire's player ranking is even lower than this average. So is that of Porygon-Z, and Ninjask is very near this average too. These three OU Pokemon (Electivire, Ninjask and Porygon-Z) are kinda the 'noob' OU Pokemon.

Unsurprisingly, most Pokemon that are used by 'expert' players are OU. The Pokemon being used by the highest ranked players on average, interestingly, is none other than Wobbuffet, while Electivire is the Pokemon in OU with the lowest ranked players using it. The average player ranking out of that list is 1148.53, and Electivire's player ranking is even lower than this average. So is that of Porygon-Z, and Ninjask is very near this average too. These three OU Pokemon (Electivire, Ninjask and Porygon-Z) are kinda the 'noob' OU Pokemon.
