What is overused and what is frequently used in Ubers, UU and Suspect?
As per the Policy Review thread, since Doug's statistics convey different information from Colin's, the criterion for a Pokemon to be OU also had to change.
It is now even easier to calculate. The quota for a Pokemon to be OU is calculated to be the sum of all usages divided by 176.1407. A Pokemon having its usage above this quota is OU. Simple as that.
There is also another calculation, used to determine the frequently-used Pokemon. Frequently used Pokemon are always OU but the reverse is not true. In essence, a frequently-used Pokemon is defined to be one in which it is expected to be seen in one out of every two battles on average. The quota for a Pokemon to be frequently used is the sum of all usages divided by 37.7113. Often, the higher the number of frequently-used Pokemon in a metagame, the more centralised it is and the lower the number of OU Pokemon in that metagame is.
So here are these stats for Ubers, UU and the Suspect ladder. I'm not going to do these stats for the Standard ladder yet:
