Spread: Conkeldurr alone carries 25.50% of the 349 teams running Black Belt, and its top three species together account for 52.15%.
How reliable is Black Belt's win rate?
The 45.15% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 43.86%–46.44%, from 3,427 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.
