Yeah, I know I had already made such a thread before, but now I actually have more reasons to do it:
1) Doug's statistics allow me to know exactly how many Bronzong are Heat Proof and how many are Levitate, for example. This gives me a much more exact calculation.
2) I now have access to Underused statistics as well.
The following chart answers the question: "How much damage would a 70 base power move of the listed type deal on average in the Standard metagame?" (including Garchomp and Deoxys-S):
Nothing new here. Ice, Fire, Rock and Flying moves, in that order, are still top-notch, and Steel, Normal and Poison moves are still the worst types you can use.
But what about in UU?
Notice how the percentages here are nearer to each other and higher overall. UU has a plethora of types that do well, in particular Rock, Ice, Flying, Grass and Psychic. Here, Steel, Normal and Poison types are still the worst types, as in the Standard metagame.
And ubers?
Dark, Ice, Bug and Ghost moves are top-notch in ubers, while Psychic and Poison moves are the worst. This isn't really surprising because of the amount of Dragon and Psychic types overwhelming the metagame. The damage range here is even more accentuated than in OU, too.
