Is Spell Tag spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?
Concentrated: Aegislash alone carries 72.45% of the 1,862 teams running Spell Tag, and its top three species together account for 86.90%.
How reliable is Spell Tag's win rate?
The 51.49% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 50.94%–52.04%, from 22,150 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.
