Is Scary Face spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?
Concentrated: Grimmsnarl alone carries 87.73% of the 269 teams running Scary Face, and its top three species together account for 91.45%.
How reliable is Scary Face's win rate?
The 47.69% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 46.42%–48.96%, from 2,681 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.
