I've been working on this for a few days, and I think no one else is planning on submitting for it, so here is some data to share with LC! 28 people have shared with me tier top 15 most viable Pokemon in the current metagame, ranked in accordance to the viability of the Pokemon in their opinion. However this is by no means an official list, merely what a section of the community agrees are the top dogs of the tier.
If you weren't able to share your list with me or would like to in the future, join the LC Discord or message me on PS! and I'll make sure to include you. I am likely to do this again once the next SPL concludes so that's when to message me about it.
This is the spreadsheet of everyone's list.
Here is a bar graph of how many times a Pokemon was included in someone's top 15 [higher = better]:
And here is another bar graph of how the raw average ranking of each Pokemon across each of its rankings [lower = better]:
Finally, we have the list final list; everyone's top 15 was weighted equally, and the more a Pokemon was ranked, the more its ranking was weighed. The list is a little wonky though, yet it is the best I could do with what we have.
What do you guys think about these findings? Does it represent the current metagame well? Is something missing from the list? Anything far too high or far too low? What Pokemon looks like it should be really good at taking on the highly placed 'mons on the list?
Thank you all for contributing!
