Actually umbarsc is wrong. If the top 75% of pokemon usage makes up OU, and Garchomp takes up 4% of that, there is less for everybody else. Garchomp takes up space, which leaves less space for everybody else. Causation, not correlationActually Umbarsc is correct. He's saying Correlation does not equal causation. It's still possible that Garchomp is overcentralizing, it's just that your logic being used to declare it overcentralizing is wrong. Just because Garchomp's usage is huge does not mean it is the only reason.
Good list X-Act, I'm actually not surprised by anything.
Do not forget yanmega. The only thing that can safely switch onto it is blissey, and SR is arguably the main yanmega counter out there..., and is not that easy to revenge kill it thanks to hypnosis and speed boost (even deoxys-e can't revenge kill it when it's got more than 1 speed boost, and with protect/hypnosis it's not a difficult task to do...)Remove Stealth Rocks and Mence and Gyarados become more powerful, and last time I checked both were already serious threats.
If garchomp is mearly correlated and not causing it, then please tell the community what the underlying variable is.Again,
"Correlation is not causation."
Going by our earliest ladder figures:Garchomp is being used about the same Blissey was in earlier DP, and OU was larger than it is now. Garchomp's usage alone didn't bump those Pokemon to BL.
I think you're perhaps over selling Yanmega a little ... it canDo not forget yanmega.

The massacre of UU pokemon will be horrid to watch >_>Obi's plan to sort out the UU tier is to throw all the BL into it, and ban all of the ones that are too strong... so yes, for a time, Porygon-Z will be "UU"
Yes, Milotic is still OverUsed. This is because the OU list was generated data from the last three months, not just June alone, as already mentioned by X-Act.Milotic is OU right? Unless this is going to happen later if it drops out...
Yes because there is nothing in UU that could possibly stop anything outside of its own tier ...The massacre of UU pokemon will be horrid to watch >_>
