Battle Spot Stats - A New Way to Look at Battle Spot
Many of you don't know this but there is a new datamine-interactive website (BattleSpotStats.com) based on the usage stats of the Battle Spot ladder from the Pokemon Global Link then by Hetoord. While this might seem just the same as the regular information from what the Pokemon Global Link usually provides, BattleSpotStats.com goes "farther" by having the "top 20" of the following selections: Moves, Items, Teammates, Moves when Victorious/Defeated, and Opponent when Victorious/Defeated. Not only that, there's even a side where people can scroll down to the exact usage stats taken on a particular Pokemon similar to how Smogon does their monthly usage stats updates unlike the Global Link. The regular Pokemon site only shows the top 12 Pokemon but this alone can show what Pokemon are popular on the ladder than those who aren't featured. If anything, this site has all the information from Singles, Doubles, Triple, Rotations, and Season Special ladder usages all in one. All you have to do is manually change the the following categories: ORAS/XY, battle format, and season. If anyone is invested in laddering on and of these Battle Spot Metagame, then BattleSpotsStats.com if for you.
PS: For those who want information regarding the current VGC 2016 format, all you have to do is change the format to "special" not doubles (that's completely different) and make sure its Season 14. I say this because unfortunately I don't know if the battle spot special ladder is going to be VGC 2016 for only up to March or hopefully until Worlds, though that's likely not happening. To make this easier, I'll provide the link to the website showing all this information down below.
