Data from Solo Sheet

About the Data:

The following T4 Mega Raids are omitted or thinned out due to the plethora number of counters overfitting the data.
- Mega Abomasnow, Mega Glalie, Mega Tyranitar, Mega Sharpedo, Mega Camerupt, Mega Medicham, Mega Beedrill, Mega Heracross, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blaziken, Mega Absol, Mega Swampert

Interesting Context:

1: Landorus-T vs Shadow Groudon:
- Both perform very similarly DPS wise.
- Shadow groudon has better edge case performance uniquely vs Tapu Koko. This is because it can tank 2 brave birds thus optimizing its HP pool better.

2: Shadow Mamoswine is really fkn good top end; can push out Lando-T/Sh-Groudons
- has higher technical performance as a CT into situations like: power whip xurkitree, mystical fire blacephalon, flame thrower heatran, hyperbeam regieleki, superpower Lando-T
- Also accessible attacker at low end vs various Megas and certain weather boosted T5 cases.
- Incredibly high HP, low def and strong attack distribution secretly make it a top tier CT.

3: Shadow Regigigas #1 rock unless boss is double weak to rock.
- The most consistent PC attacker for Tornadus-I, Thundurus I/T (rampardos cannot compete) when it has hidden power rock.
- It was previously able to solo Yveltal until the crush grip buff was revertted.

4: Shadow Regigigas is a versatile CT:
- Shadow Crush Grip is an underrated generalist CT approach. It was used to defeat Reshiram w/ Overheat & is a key counter for Xerneas & regigigas's giga impact.
- Shadow + Normal type works to its advantage. It doesn't resist a lot of things meaning it can absorb lots of energy from lots of move options. (Focus blast, giga impact, overheat, draco meteor, hyper beam, earthquake, etc.)

5: Shadow Regigigas also great anti-electric
- It absorbs electric attacks for higher DPS instead of immuning them.
- Access to HP Ground means avoiding energy resolve completely.
- Can stat check shadow groudon in extreme/pc weather. Loses in sunny.
- Ground attackers are using outdated moves; Shadow Regigigas is out statting them in more and more conditions.

6: Various low usage pokemon are vital for extreme challenges:
- Shadow Blaziken postively supports Mega Lucario & Keldeo-R vs Darkrai/Gigas.
- Shadow Dialga was used as a CT to defeat Reshiram w/ Overheat.

7: NDM/Zaci-C >> Zama-C
- NDM is the best steel CT
- Zaci is the best upfront DPS
- Zama is in the middle, cannot beat either in their own strength. Sometimes used as an executor (swapped in last 5-8s)

8: Mega Blaziken is an incredibly strong option if no Mega Lucario
- Coasts against weak 2 fire bosses
- Offers fighting options even against top tier tanky T4s.

9: Primal Groudon is slowly getting eclipsed
- Despite having high usage, its moveset is dragging it down. Shadow Lando-T will surpass it. Mega Lucario has already surpassed it vs steel/rock.
- Primarily high rating due to more weak 2 ground pokemon. Fire & Ground weather boost improves its absorbed EPS from fire moves while increasing its ground type damage.
