Frequency Per Pokémon
As the Pokemon used in the most important tournament under the VGC 2013 ruleset, the Pokemon below are those who have left the biggest mark on the game when it counted this year. The most common Pokemon in the tournament consisted mostly of the same metagame mainstays that the Masters Worlds teams had, with Cresselia, Tyranitar, Thundurus, Heatran, and Landorus-T finishing in the top six of both lists. Also showcased below are some less common Pokemon that the game’s best players thought were good enough to catch their peers off-guard in spite of the risk this year, like Machamp, Raikou, Blastoise, and Whimsicott.

Also change ‘Blastoise’ to ‘Swampert’
Has there ever been a team so popular for copycats as that one?
Thanks for compiling the data.
The links should be added soon. The Blastoise is supposed to be there. I asked Phenac herself.
No problem!
Not bad
also: sorry that I forgot Raikou D:
I will not forgive those who forget Raikou.
THAT japenese team seems to be doing the rounds once again but no-one seems to know where it came from ..
I used meanteam before it was mainstream.
..Also, respect for Ian for using Tornadus-Mamoswine!
PHENAC <3 Gotta love that Blastoise swag
Awesome work here, DeVon!
Why do people care about blastoise it’s all about the swampert
Seung Heon Sah’s Team: Metagross ->Latios
