Share of the 61 published teams at [Shiny Salamence to 1st] The Grim Challenge #8 M-C, top 18 of 71 species. Counted per team, so a species is one team whatever it did in the games. Bars are scaled to the most-brought.

Every row links to that player's six with the items, abilities, moves and Tera types their teamlist recorded, and to their career page where they have played more than one event. Teamlists carry no EV or IV spreads: the source publishes the build and nothing about how it was invested. All events · All players · Back to team cores.
