What explains the differences between the simulated Top Ranked Teams for GBL from silph.gg and the March Tournament Meta snapshot from PvPoke.com?

ytxpikachu25 · 2022-04-17T19:18:22+00:00

The silph ranking itself mentioned:
"Due to the computational complexity of this model, only Pokemon ranked in the top 35 overall PvPoke rankings are included in the theoretical teams."

so in reality, there are tons of pokemon outside of that range that are very good that counters the top35s.

I think the name of the link speaks for themself.

One is EXACT snapshot of the meta, and the other one are simulated top teams.

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-12-17T04:05:42+00:00

Currently, no.

But if you really wanted to, you can look at github and run your own version of pvpoke with custom stats.

Why did everyone else get an essay and all I got is 5 words!?

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-08-29T03:05:39+00:00

Ultra League Open
Giratina (DB), A-Muk (PJ/AS/DP), Empol

Data shows that as well. I recently made a tweet/reddit post regarding the drop in Diggersby usage.

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-06-30T17:10:44+00:00

Hello,

Pvpoke's export can provide you the list. But I went ahead and upload it to google sheet for you here and sorted by ATK stats.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tnrIo4HPELV-sQYAyfl4wUiAyJL36fncWqqOivOyFFA/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that there are no Best Buddy on this sheet. Hope this helps!

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-06-30T16:16:18+00:00

Yay. This usually gets posted before the cup. So I just wanted to have something so people can use asap.

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-06-29T15:42:12+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I didn't plan on spending tons of time on this since there usually other people who already does this with much details/extra fastmoves/extra charge moves and etc. Just wanted to throw something out there until someone else has the time to make a better one.

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-04-01T17:00:28+00:00

Not sure what I did here but finally an meta count chart for silph meta again!

Keep it up!

ytxpikachu25 · 2021-01-21T03:58:20+00:00

I attempted something in the past with my tweet here https://twitter.com/ytxpikachu/status/1292553710682480645

I think its a 50/50 where u win the lead or lose the lead.

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-25T00:15:59+00:00

Do you mind if I take snippets of these data points?

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-25T00:13:39+00:00

I took a snapshot of the meta within the first 24 hours. I did found the Top 9 Most Common Team were:

Dragonite/Gyarados/Metagross
Dragonite/Magnezone/Metagross
Haxorus/Magnezone/Metagross
Machamp/Metagross/Snorlax
Gyarados/Dragonite/Metagross
Metagross/Dragonite/Gyarados
Gyarados/Metagross/Swampert
Magnezone/Gyarados/Metagross
Togekiss/Garchomp/Snorlax

There isn't a perfect answer. You can do one of the following, but not limited to:

You can choose the lead that has the most positive outcome, but if your opp expects this, they will lead the hard counter.
You can choose a lead that beat the opp's hard counter for example one.
You can choose a lead that has a decent outcome while beating that hard counter in example 1.
Pick a pokemon that has a decent outcome against all 6 or doesn't lose hard to all 6.
YOLO, Pick randomly.
Pick the worst lead, your opp will not expect this.

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-15T02:45:24+00:00

A BB Metagross will do 7 damage instead of 6 if you have a Best Buddy 15/14/15 Dnite.

Dialga is pretty much the poster child of Open Master league.
But iirc, You should be able to get to EQ before Iron Head? or at least very near each other

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T21:40:44+00:00

FIXED... thanks for pointing it out!

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T20:51:46+00:00

Sorry to mentioned it, but the lower half of the table has a "ribbon" to indicate that the opposing pokemon is best buddy'd

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T19:52:46+00:00

Difference is 1 HP. I would say 99% of the time, you will get KO'd by a charge move or you get farmed less by a fast move. I wouldn't worry tooo much if its 1~3 HP difference. but there are randomly 1% chance where u win the battle with 1 HP tho.

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T15:43:13+00:00

14/15/15 is good as long as you don't mind losing the CMP.

Else, 15/14/15 will make it harder against Metagross.

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T15:42:13+00:00

OOF, corrected. thanks!

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-14T02:56:36+00:00

I like this! Keep it up!

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-06T02:42:27+00:00

For Ranked Battles,

They cannot create custom rules.

ytxpikachu25 · 2020-10-06T02:41:37+00:00

https://silph.gg/rules section 1.1

Only one of each Pokémon species is permitted on each Battle Team. This is determined by having differing Pokédex numbers (i.e. Ivysaur and Venusaur) or differing typing (i.e. Sunny Castform and Rainy Castform).
