I updated the OP to clarify about usage of unranked mons counting as Dark Horses and put our champions into the hall of fame. Now, I also looked into the request of increasing the allowance from 15 to say 18/20, not including the Featured mon. At this request, I would like to draw attention to my team. On the old system (i.e. %'s based of 1630 stats), my team total would've been 35.41, which would've been over the 35% usage. While on the new system, we are able to come in a cool 14/15, which an extra 1 point to spare. So, while this system looks more restrictive, it actually allows you to use the more viable mons to support the Dark Horses, which by definition can have defined roles, but require more team support in order to shine.
Lanturn: 0 (0.07)
Tangrowth: 2.25 (1.31)
Gligar: 2.25 (5.23)
Jellicent: 2.50 (1.15)
Lucario: 3.25 (9.94)
Salamence: 3.75 (17.71)
Total: 14/15 (35.41)
Now, with that being said, I am going to be putting up a poll asking people if which system do they prefer (%'s or Viability). I think either way, we will keep the Featured Dark Horse with increased allowance since it'll help put the spotlight on seldom used mons.
