Pokémon holding it in Reg M-B13

What it does

Holder's Dark-type attacks have 1.2x power.

Who holds it

13 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder hold Black Glasses. The one that matters most is Kingambit, which is on 47.2% of teams and holds it on 29.6% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Black Glasses accounts for an expected 0.15 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 9th most-brought of the 26 items this format runs. 95% of that comes from Kingambit alone, so it is really one Pokémon’s item rather than the format’s. Its holders are mostly Dark (12) and Electric (2).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.

Where this goes next

Build

Open the builder with Kingambit seated — Kingambit brings Black Glasses to more teams than any of the other 12 Pokémon that hold it.
