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

Concentrated: Vaporeon alone carries 62.18% of the 156 teams running Water Absorb, and its top three species together account for 100.00%.

How reliable is Water Absorb's win rate?

The 44.06% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 42.44%–45.68%, from 1,397 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.
