Im going to be quite general and give you the top 10 most used in each tier. 1 is the most used, 10 is the 10th most used.Note:the order may be a little inaccurate but generally if it is wrong it’s the same Pokemon with a slightly different order. These are stats from october so don’t yell at me in the comments.
