Priority teams FAQ
Is Priority good in Pokémon Champions VGC?
20,775 rosters are tagged Priority, 22.58% of the field. They have won 52.12% of 230,844 games, above the 50% line. Usage says how many players built one; the win rate says how those games went.
How reliable is Priority's win rate?
The 52.12% above is a posterior mean, not a raw average; the interval behind it is 51.95%–52.29%, from 230,844 games. That is a narrow band for a figure with this many games behind it.
How many teams could even be checked for Priority?
92,025 rosters published enough of a list to classify at all; 20,775 of those satisfied the rule, which is where the usage share above comes from. A roster with too little published to check is left out of both numbers rather than counted as a miss.

Where do these numbers come from?
Tournament decklists and real match records for Pokémon Champions, ingested from Limitless, Victory Road and the official circuit. A roster can satisfy several archetypes at once (a team can be Sand and Trick Room and Priority together), so archetype shares across the site do not add to 100. Win rates are shrunk toward this archetype's own rosters, not the format's, since a Priority roster is a different population from the field.
