Usage is the share of teams carrying this move, not the share of Pokémon. The win rate is the posterior mean under a fitted prior, so a thinly played option is pulled toward the field average rather than reported at its raw rate. How these are measured. Every figure here is all-time over the whole corpus; the board this sits under follows the format and window pickers, so its numbers will differ.

Is Role Play spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?

Concentrated: Mr. Rime alone carries 80.95% of the 21 teams running Role Play, and its top three species together account for 100.00%.

How reliable is Role Play's win rate?

The 48.61% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 46.56%–50.66%, from 206 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.
