Is Swarm spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?

Spread: Beedrill alone carries 36.89% of the 122 teams running Swarm, and its top three species together account for 78.69%.

How reliable is Swarm's win rate?

The 46.12% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 44.44%–47.80%, from 1,218 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.
