11 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Dual Wingbeat. The one that matters most is Mega Staraptor, which is on 17.9% of teams and carrys it on 32% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.
As a Flying move it is super effective against Bug, Fighting and Grass, resisted by Electric, Rock and Steel. 4 other Flying moves appear in this format: Tailwind, Brave Bird, Hurricane, Roost.
25 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Dual Wingbeat at all, against the 11 that actually bring it. The gap is the interesting number: it is the set of Pokémon that have the option and decline it. The most-played of those are Pelipper, Dragonite, Hydreigon, Clefable, Volcarona and Altaria — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.
Across the ladder, Dual Wingbeat accounts for an expected 0.16 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 33rd most-brought of the 121 moves this format runs. 36% of that comes from Mega Staraptor alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its carriers are mostly Flying (8), Steel (3) and Fighting (2).
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.
