How to read “Usage” and “Synergy”

“Usage” = how many teams run it; “Synergy” = whether they're brought together on purpose.

LiftUsageMeaning
LowHighGeneric staple: pairs with everyone; high usage just reflects its own popularity, not a special bond.
2~3HighMainstream pairing: a common, strong combo.
HighLowNiche locked combo: rarely used overall, but those who use it almost always run them together.

Details

Synergy (Lift) = actual co-occurrence ÷ co-occurrence expected from each Pokémon's solo usage. It tells you whether a combo is brought together on purpose, vs both just being popular.

< 1Anti-synergy: overlapping or competing roles — running one means skipping the other.
≈ 1Coincidence: both just popular, happen to share teams, no real link.
1~5Paired more than random — the higher it climbs, the more deliberate the pairing.
5+Tight core: see one and the other is usually there too (e.g. weather setter + abuser).
  • A very high synergy usually just means the members are individually rare (low solo usage), not that the pairing is strong; read it alongside usage %, and don't compare synergy across combos with different usage.
