Is Skill Swap spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?

Spread: Oranguru alone carries 12.78% of the 485 teams running Skill Swap, and its top three species together account for 33.20%.

How reliable is Skill Swap's win rate?

The 43.69% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 42.63%–44.75%, from 4,481 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.
