Spread: Arcanine alone carries 28.29% of the 152 teams running Howl, and its top three species together account for 66.45%.
How reliable is Howl's win rate?
The 48.10% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 46.61%–49.59%, from 1,550 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.
