Pokémon Champions (VGC)

Competitive usage · Reg M-B · 925 tournaments · 52,046 teams · 372 species

Usage = % of teams that include the species. The badge measures top-cut conversion — how often the species appears in top-cut vs. overall usage (Δ).

Top-cut = a tournament's elimination phase: the best Swiss finishers who advance to the single-elimination bracket. That's why Δ matters — a high conversion means the species performs beyond its raw usage.
