Concentrated: Raichu alone carries 93.67% of the 8,762 teams running Lightning Rod, and its top three species together account for 101.57%.

The 49.45% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 49.17%–49.73%, from 88,026 games. That is a narrow band for a figure with this many games behind it.

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.
