Rankings

How often players actually bring a given Pokémon to ranked battles. This is the only ranking on this page that does not come from base stats, but from what people do.

Alternate forms always count here and cannot be filtered out — in ranked battles Landorus-Therian or Wellspring Mask Ogerpon are separate, widely used Pokémon, not cosmetic variants. Filtering them out, as we do in the stat rankings, would remove the seventh entry of the snapshot from the list.

★ Legendary, ✦ Mythical. Green cells are stats of 120 and higher, red ones — 45 and lower; they show whether a high position comes from an even spread or from one extreme value at the expense of the rest.

Data from 574,541 battles played by people on Pokémon Showdown (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09, players rated above 1695). The ranking always shows the latest available monthly snapshot, not a historical average — so each new snapshot changes the numbers. The statistics are compiled by Smogon.

This is a popularity ranking, not a strength ranking. A high place means players often pick this Pokémon — sometimes because it is excellent, but sometimes because it is cheap to build, conveniently checks popular threats or has simply become fashionable. The percentage is the share of teams it appeared on, not a win rate. Also keep in mind that the list covers a single format: under other rules the order can be completely different. This list is Gen 9 OU — the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong. The switch above the table shows the other formats we have in our database.

The snapshot covers 309 Pokémon, not all of them on this site — and that is intended. A Pokémon nobody uses does not get a zero here; it is simply absent. A zero percentage would suggest a measurement that never happened.
