Spread: Crabominable alone carries 15.80% of the 981 teams running Thunder Punch, and its top three species together account for 36.39%.
How reliable is Thunder Punch's win rate?
The 43.36% figure is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 42.57%–44.15%, from 9,238 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.
