Is Taunt spread across the metagame, or concentrated on a few Pokémon?
Spread: Maushold alone carries 19.14% of the 5,909 teams running Taunt, and its top three species together account for 47.32%.
How reliable is Taunt's win rate?
The 45.61% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 45.28%–45.94%, from 60,172 games. That is a narrow band for a figure with this many games behind it.
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.
