    • Scizor count: 13 Bisharp count: 1 Better luck next time Mr. Fox!

     
    Proud to be repping that Bisharp (> Scizor)

  2. Scott says:

    Nice job with this.

  3. dingram says:

    I will add this right away.

  6. LPFan says:

    Excellent work done here! The usage numbers in this division weren’t really surprising, and there was some interesting usage too such as Sandslash and Machamp. Props to the players who successfully top cut with them! 

  7. tlyee61 says:

    thanks dEvOn!!

  8. Technoz says:

    Thank you DeVon, this is really cool to have!

  9. Toquill says:

    If you’re gonna do Top 16 for UK, I (Brandon Ikin) used Crobat/Heracross/Garchomp/Gastrodon/Cresselia/Thundurus-T.

    Troy Williams used Ninetales/Exeggutor/Volcarona/Hitmontop/Garchomp/Gastrodon

  10. Lajo says:

     

    • Politoed count: 8 Ninetales count: 0 
    • Politoed was here, Ninetales is a loser
    • Rain was here, Sun is a loser

     
    Yeah, rain is strong in seniors. But oh well, I think at least 8 teams (those with Heatran and yours, of course) were using manual sun, so sun is no loser at all- Only one Abomasnow really surprises me, though.
    At least their was a Ninetales in UK Top16^^

  11. Recon X says:

    Nice work compiling all of this. Good to see that I’m not the only person using jolteon and volcarona on a rain team.

  12. joej m says:

    How about an honorable mention with my name and my team their… :3
     
     
    EDIT: anyway cool to see some teams to steal I mean to inspire new teams for later maybe…

  13. Bopper says:

    How about an honorable mention with my name and my team their… :3

    Not this again…

  14. KobraTail says:

    How about an honorable mention with my name and my team their… :3

    Only if you use the correct form of ‘there’

  15. Kyle says:

    I feel special. :3

    Y’know, copying Lajo is cool not only in Pokémon. :D

     Yeah but Lajo is German not a native English speaker like Joej M

  18. tlyee61 says:

    CTRL+F’d
     
    oh wait…

  19. Firestorm says:

    Daaaamnnn Seniors are way better at scouting than Masters! I’ll get this up on the front page when I get home. Good work!

  20. bcaralarm says:

    Eric R Did not have a ttar – instead a rotom-wash and a ferrothorn as his last pokemon

  21. dingram says:

    Okay I will edit this in.

  22. Feis says:

    BillaBro had an Abomasnow instead of Gastrodon in Bochum.

  23. woopahking says:

    Braviary….also I don’t always steal teams.
