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

Concentrated: Golisopod alone carries 91.01% of the 345 teams running First Impression, and its top three species together account for 98.84%.

How reliable is First Impression's win rate?

The 45.56% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 44.37%–46.75%, from 3,192 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.
