Empoleon, Pelipper and Politoed are the top species carrying it, by teams. The win rate beside each one is that species' own record, not this move's.

Spread: Empoleon alone carries 18.22% of the 516 teams running Surf, and its top three species together account for 48.84%.

The 40.41% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 39.37%–41.45%, from 4,503 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.

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.
