Concentrated: Vileplume alone carries 97.50% of the 40 teams running Effect Spore, and its top three species together account for 100.00%.

How reliable is Effect Spore's win rate?

The 46.56% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 44.38%–48.74%, from 255 games. That is a wide band, which means the true rate could sit anywhere in it. Treat the point figure as a rough read, not a precise one.

Where do these numbers come from?

Tournament decklists and real match records for Pokémon Champions, ingested from Limitless, Victory Road and the official circuit. These figures are all-time over the whole corpus, not scoped to a format or window the way the boards above the search bar are. Win rates are shrunk toward the field average rather than printed raw, so a thin sample cannot top a board.
