Is Never-Melt Ice spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?
Concentrated: Alolan Ninetales alone carries 75.61% of the 1,718 teams running Never-Melt Ice, and its top three species together account for 88.42%.
How reliable is Never-Melt Ice's win rate?
The 49.52% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 48.92%–50.12%, from 18,463 games. That is a narrow band for a figure with this many games behind it.
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.
