So laddering usage stats are of course not the best indicator of what is actually being used at the top level of play, but I thought a comparison to a year ago would be interesting nonetheless, some things match up with the conventional wisdom of the effect of the new meta, others don't
Some things
Golem and Rhydon usage is actually a lot more similar now than it was a year ago, although their combined usage has dropped from 50% to ~30%
Usage is more spread out in general, after the top 5 we see a relatively steady decline in usage, whereas in 2014 there was a very defined top 9. For Example, Lapras' rank has increased despite its usage dropping slightly
Chansey has leapfrogged Eggy and Snorlax
Whilst Zapdos and Jynx have experienced the bump a lot would expect, Slowbro and Jolteon have not,
