Dratini, Pokémon Center Lady, and Small Balloon had lower adoption than the core. These are the first slots to compare against your expected opponents or available collection rather than copying automatically.
Matchups ordered by sample size. The range is a 95% Wilson interval, which prevents tiny samples from looking more certain than they are.
There is not enough matchup data for this archetype yet.
Expansion sets and booster packs that supply Gouging Fire Dragonair’s core Pokémon (used in at least half of tracked decklists).
Daily snapshots preserve trends; card roles come from inclusion rates; matchup uncertainty is shown explicitly; player identities and private ownership are never stored.
Statistics are aggregated from public standard-Swiss Pokemon TCG Pocket tournaments on Limitless Tournament Platform. Player identity and individual deck ownership are not retained.
