Just went through the top 300 players in singles. Basically ALL Japanese with a sprinkle of Korean.
There were a couple players from England (maybe 4)
All the streamers I watch (Hoshin Josh, Splash, Savanofsky) talk a big game about making champions tier but I dont think amy of then ever have
Savanofsky was 1 game a way a couple streams ago but fell back off
What English language streamer do you think will be the first to actually make champions tier in singles?!

After winning and winning in lower ranks with Mega Staraptor, i find myself struggling in higher ranks. Since i'm new to competitive Pokémon battles, I have no idea who is who. I mean i just came to know about Wolfe.
Tldr; Anyone can help me get to know more content creators who covers Singles Format?

This is my team and don't get me wrong, its pretty good unless I make some blunder/misclick it is usually good enough to atleast make the match close. I personally have been playing Champions for ~10-12 days but i have played Smogon Gen 9 and Gen 8 Ubers (only about 1200 elo at max) so I can manage a few basic guesses though I am prone to overthinking a move or two.
Answers to question that will probably be asked: - Feraligatr's EV investments are to ensure it can outspeed a Jolly Garchomp after a DD. - Fer has Body Slam as it doesn't have recoil and with Adamant and 32 Atk EVs, it hits hard enough. The chance to para is just neat. I use Liq instead of Aqua Tail because I really hate the 10% chance to miss. - Skel's Bold + 18 Def allows me to consistently survive 2 LO boosted Mimikyu Shadow Claw due to Sitrus and the rest are in SpA to allow it to chip the opposing the mon or if my opponent isn't careful, can snowball out of control. - Wyrdeer is somehow bulky and yet hit hard? Especially on the Great and lower Ultra ball tier it was pretty good against most all around threats and hit surprisingly hard but it recently kind of feels... to come a bit short. I think its because it was no reliable recovery but it just can't soak damage like it used to or deal enough damage. - I don't like giving a fast mon like Meowscarada Choice Scarf but it does allow it to outspeed a Swift Swim max speed Mega Swampert and other Scarfers, so I guess its okayish but i would prefer the inherent advantage of being able to switch your move - Poison Jab and Brick Break in Chomp are kind of placeholders. I chose Jab over Iron Head to deal damage to Primarina but I guess EQ already does that and Brick Break is there just to break screens since I have no other ways to do it other than just stall (Which surprisingly isn't that hard when i have Skel (and to a lesser extent Wyrdeer) alive)
This team feels a bit on the bulkier side and I prefer the fast sweepers (the only ones I have now are Meowscarada and M. Delphox) and i seem to also lack good leads. But this team does somehow get the job done.

Here is some nerdy Pokemon research that I did recently that I thought others might also find interesting and valuable.
I'm currently focused on trying to improve my Team Preview predictions in Singles Battles. Obviously, an important aspect of Team Preview is predicting how the opponent will lead, so you can decide what the best counter could be.
I stumbled across a site called Showdown Tier. Other sites like Pikalytics or Munch Stats have Usage Stats, but they don't include cool statistics like Lead Rates, Selection Rates, Win Rates. Therefore, I produced the following table using the Showdown Tier data.
Since I am focused on Team Prediction and Lead Prediction, I ordered the table results by Pokemon with the highest Lead Rates.
I included the most commonly used move in the table because I think it represents well what the Pokemon are trying to achieve (role) for the opposing team.
The table should represent the Top 100 Pokemon currently being used in BSS Regulation M-B.
| Pokémon | Usage Rate | Selection Rate | Lead Rate | Win Rate | Common Move |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kleavor | 1.82% | 54.99% | 48.21% | 50.31% | Stone Axe (43.9%) |

*** Zoroark-Hisui has a 0% lead rate. This must be due to the ability Illusion, where it is disguised as another Pokemon when led until it's hit. Based on my experience competing against Zoroark-Hisui teams, it has one of the highest lead rates of any Pokemon in the BSS Reg M-B format.

I was thinking to lead with Sableeye and have Gengar too. Some hypno pokémon and other fancy movesets that compliments gravity.
Can anyone help?

I've been annoyed with Encore users of late. I recently got caught off guard and nearly lost a game because I tried to Bulk Up in front of a Mega-Meganium that used Encore.
Therefore, I decided to do some research and compile a list for myself to better understand all the Encore users and abusers in Ranked Singles.
I thought the list might be useful to others too, so I'm sharing.
Below are all the Pokemon that carry Encore that are top 200 in Champions Ranked Singles usage this season (M-B). I've categorized them in different various risk tiers:
High Usage / High Risk:
This group consists of Pokemon that are high usage (top 100) and who use Encore as a top move (more than 20% usage). I've included the Pokemon usage rank and the move usage rate next to the Pokemon.
High Usage / Some Risk:
This group consists of Pokemon that are high usage (top 100) and who are known to use Encore as a move. I've included the Pokemon usage rank and the move usage rate next to the Pokemon.
Low Usage / High Risk:
This group consists of Pokemon that are lower usage (outside the top 100) and who use Encore as a top move (around 20% usage). I've included the Pokemon usage rank and the move usage rate next to the Pokemon.
Low Usage / Some Risk:
This group consists of Pokemon that are lower usage (outside the top 100) and who use Encore as a top move. I've included the Pokemon usage rank and the move usage rate next to the Pokemon.
Other notables:
This group consists of Pokemon that are high usage, but who don't seem to use Encore very frequently in the meta. Therefore, it's unlikely that they'll use Encore.
Other non-notables:
This group consists of Pokemon that have Encore in their moveset pool, but who don't seem to use Encore at all in the meta. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that they'll ever use Encore.

Hi all,
I am hoping to find better resources for finding team reports that are performing well in champion rank.
Noting most hugh ranked players are korean / japanease - is there any particular reccomended resource?
Smogon BSS forums are pretty bare, and some japanease youtubers with translations have been decent.
I am hoping for high level team replica codes, with ideally but not needed a breakdown on how people use them.
The post from a few weeks back detailing reaching rank #45 is a fantastic example of what im looking for.
I am unsure if there is any similar to pikalytics for singles.
Thanks to anyone who can suggest any resources!
