What it does

For 5 turns, the Speed of every Pokemon is recalculated for the purposes of determining turn order. During the effect, each Pokemon's Speed is considered to be (10000 - its normal Speed), and if this value is greater than 8191, 8192 is subtracted from it. If this move is used during the effect, the effect ends.

Who carrys it

37 of the 282 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder carry Trick Room. The one that matters most is Sinistcha, which is on 26.1% of teams and carrys it on 64.6% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

What it hits

As a Psychic move it is super effective against Fighting and Poison, resisted by Psychic and Steel, and does nothing at all to Dark. 11 other Psychic moves appear in this format: Psychic, Light Screen, Reflect, Calm Mind, Psychic Fangs, Psyshock and others.

Who could and does not

42 Pokémon legal in this regulation can learn Trick Room at all, against the 37 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 Whimsicott, Meowscarada and Espathra — each of them measured on the ladder, each of them leaving this move on the shelf.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Trick Room accounts for an expected 0.44 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 9th most-brought of the 126 moves this format runs. 38% of that comes from Sinistcha alone, so it is spread across the field rather than propped up by one Pokémon. Its carriers are mostly Psychic (22), Ghost (12) and Fairy (5).

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.
