Each state shows the Pokémon searched most disproportionately there — not just the most popular overall, but the ones that over-perform relative to national interest.

A Pokémon qualifies if its state search score is at least 1.5× its national average. This surfaces genuine regional favorites rather than globally dominant Pokémon like Pikachu.
