    When setting Speed EVs, it would be helpful to know the overall percentage of Pokemon you will be outrunning with each speed amount.

    Honestly, that alone would probably be more important for team building than all the other usage statistics put together.

    If you're going to implement it, I'd also suggest an option to browse by Speed rather than Usage like:
    230 (5% of all Pokemon) -> 50% Dragonite, 25% Rotom, etc
    229 (8% of all Pokemon) -> 50% Scizor, 25% Dragonite, etc

    It seems relatively easy to implement especially considering how helpful it can be.

    I don't know how useful this would be in reality. If you know the metagame well you'll know what people are scarfing, and this won't stop you from getting slapped in the head by the odd set or whatever. Personally I think that the speed tiers and statistics are just fine as they are.

    I would really love to have this (at least, the general version without species specifics. basically, x% of the metagame has 200 speed, y% has 201 speed, ect..). Seeing how much people are speed creeping would help decide how much to speed creep many sets.

    That's basically what my thought process was exactly.

    The reason why I'd like the breakdown is so that it could further be analyzed if the Pokemon at a particular speed number are scarfers or priority users, or something that you don't care about outspeeding for some reason.

    You could always just copy Smogon spreads like a lot of people seem to do, but this allows you to optimize more and make your own spreads which is always something that I've done and I'm sure there's a lot of other people out there too.

    Scarfers at least should be taken into account. Would be cool to have other speed boosters as well, but then it gets complicated, can't assign %s as cleanly (though could have x% have 200 spe, y% have 300 spe, z% have 300 spe with a +1 boost and a move which boosts speed by one stage (and have 200 spe initially, so you'd end up with more than 100% overall).. needs a list of speed boosting moves and some messing about). Priority users are still often worth outspeeding, if they're investing in speed then they want to outspeed you, so you want to outspeed them. Breakdown would be kind of nice, but the basic list would be almost as useful most of the time I think.

    This is best coded into UsageStats plugin.

    Some suggestions:
    Include any means of speed boosting (attacks, abilities) after the speed stat and species.

    I'm willing to script it for my server and test it out, if it will then be implemented in the official PO one.

    And I reported it to Crystal several days ago.

    You can use old month's stats. Current is incomplete anyway

    And it still doesn't work, but you can always use the past ones.
