and I'm getting tired of commenting on these

I'm going to go bring up usage statistics for these Pokemon from last month from their individual tiers, where applicable of course, so we can settle this once and for all

Nidoking:

(ou at 1695) | 106 | Nidoking | 0.77185% | 45704 | 1.573% | 34217 | 1.578% |

(oususpecttest at 1695) | 106 | Nidoking | 0.71584% | 16603 | 1.456% | 12346 | 1.445% |

I like Nidoking, but having only 0.743% usage on average makes it really unlikely to move up by the next major tier shift.

Mega Steelix:

(ou at 1695) | 193 | Steelix-Mega | 0.12053% | 10975 | 0.378% | 8445 | 0.389% |

(oususpecttest at 1695) | 244 | Steelix-Mega | 0.04139% | 3429 | 0.301% | 2577 | 0.302% |

Mega Steelix gets even less usage than Nidoking.

Arcanine:

(uu at 1630) | 18 | Arcanine | 8.98924% | 41218 | 11.946% | 32209 | 12.167% |

(uususpecttest at 1630) | 33 | Arcanine | 6.56176% | 45891 | 10.149% | 35831 | 10.285% |

Not quite low enough to move down unless its usage drops a lot within the next month. Sorry. (percentage needed is like 3.41% I think)

Haxorus:

(uu at 1630) | 67 | Haxorus | 3.40983% | 16472 | 4.774% | 11148 | 4.211% |

(uususpecttest at 1630) | 65 | Haxorus | 3.05719% | 21191 | 4.687% | 14378 | 4.127% |

Haxorus, on the other hand, is. Assuming its usage doesn't spike in the next month, anyway.

Heliolisk:

(uu at 1630) | 41 | Heliolisk | 5.96477% | 20141 | 5.837% | 15134 | 5.717% |

(uususpecttest at 1630) | 38 | Heliolisk | 6.02066% | 25508 | 5.641% | 19215 | 5.516% |

damn it UU why do you have to use something as awful as Heliolisk so often

Mega Abomasnow:

(ru at 1630) | 16 | Abomasnow-Mega | 10.34856% | 16505 | 8.564% | 12580 | 8.474% |

(rususpecttest at 1630) | 24 | Abomasnow-Mega | 9.08046% | 1333 | 7.073% | 949 | 6.561% |

no

Granbull:

(ru at 1630) | 36  | Granbull           |  6.98576% | 11549  |  5.993% | 8990   |  6.055% |

(rususpecttest at 1630) | 55  | Granbull           |  4.10478% | 971    |  5.152% | 752    |  5.199% |

I'm just going to let you interpret these statistics yourself from now on

Typhlosion:

(ru at 1630) | 57  | Typhlosion         |  4.16319% | 15311  |  7.945% | 11371  |  7.659% |

(rususpecttest at 1630) | 37  | Typhlosion         |  6.82009% | 1679   |  8.909% | 1232   |  8.518% |

Avalugg:

(nu at 1630) | 97  | Avalugg            |  0.71409% | 2006   |  0.954% | 1505   |  0.929% |

nope. don't blame them either, Avalugg's typing does set it back quite a bit
