Fun fact: Shedinja also has 45 defense (not that it matters lol) like Ninjask, and added together they make 90 like Nincada. So you could assume Ninjask lost 45 defense specifically because of losing its former shell, Shedinja

[@griffinkimball2454]

For me it looked like the attack and defense swapoed from 45 attack and 90 defense to 90 attack and 45 defense, showing it's change in priority

[@Gfp1995]

I think we interpret speed too literally, in battle speed determines who attacks first but that's really not about speed but reactivity. I can easily see a Pokemon being given an intentionally low speed stat to make it more reactive as opposed to being proactive

[@erissromero3822]

Totally agreee

[@brawlmasterjoelstudios]

So, the speed stat is actually reaction speed? I could see that

[@frankchen4229]

I'm guessing that's why dragonite and pidgeot dont exceed base 130 speed

To be honest leafeon having a high defense kinda makes sense because if you think about it. It’s hard to punch a leaf and break it because it’s so flimsy and light so if a machamp punches a leafeons tail or something. The leaf will just be pushed around

[@javisling3746]

The eeveelution thing partly makes sense, Flareon can use quite some physical moves, while some grass types are bulky as well, which is because so they can tank enemies and leech seed them, as well as poisoning, making them sleep or paralyzing

[@darknessmyolfriend6817]

That still doesn’t matter. Machamp is a fighting type Pokémon with four very-developed muscly arms! Flareon should NOT be able to hit as hard as Machamp, it has skinny tiny arms! Leafeon is made of leaves. Leaves are very fragile whilst Crustle is literally a crab with an earth shell, earth is very tough. Rather if Grass is bulky, it shouldn’t be more bulky than a literal rock-type!

[@PaulSmith-od6dp]

Yeah I dont get why people run special d pult.

[@plohka1141]

Because 100 special attack is still very high, and it has a good special movepool. Gastly just has an absurdly high special attack for the first Pokémon in a three-stage evolution line

[@cintronproductions9430]

My Dragapult is Jolly so instead I run a physical set with Dragon Darts and Phantom Force with a Power Herb so she can hit something instantly on the first use. Well, a mixed set, cuz I also run Flamethrower on her. I know she's Jolly, but without Flamethrower she gets walled by them Steel types. It still works tho. Her last slot is Suckah Punch, cuz Wynaut.

[@tryhardpenguin9636]

A gastly IS a shadow ball

[@plohka1141]

[@haram6440]

Well to be fair, ticks are notoriously pretty hard to kill, and wailord is lighter than air, so it makes sense to be able to just be deflated when hit.

[@garfeld625]

I like to think that the speed stat stands for reaction time. Not how fast you are. Hence why vikavolt is slow (cannot turn quickly, planes take forever to turn around), but purugly is so fast (even fat cats can claw an eye out before you know they are attacking you)

[@JoeThomas-lu6fy]

It can perform acrobatic flying manoeuvres, so turning isn't a problem. It probably just takes time to charge attacks.

@@helenluong2568 Oh. I should follow Pokemon talk too. Thanks

[@bummyrabbit950]

I like to think of the speed stat as “reaction time to trainers order” rather than actual speed. So purrugly, being a cat, has a fast reaction time and can attack before latios and Latias, even if they have a higher top speed. Thank you for listening to my ted talk :)

[@cheesydelphox1552]

That’s- actually a really good way to think of it- 🤔

[@hystericallover5989]

Except thats not true, seeing how if you flee or not is partially dependent on the head mon's speed stat. Plus, if it WAS reaction time, Latias and Latios could still strike Purugly *first,* because even if they react slower, *they’re jet planes against a big cat.* Cool to think about, *but no.*

[@Dw7freak]

Or it could be bursts of speeds or dexterity. A cat being able to jump out of the way of a coming attack makes sense. Also, Electrode is the fastest Gen 1 Pokemon, with a base speed of 140. Is it faster than a fighter jet? No. But it's able to do quick manoeuvres because of its spherical shape.

[@justaguyiguess910]

I consider it the time it takes for an attack to happen after it knows the order. Vikavolt, for example, is based on a railgun, and as such would take a while to charge its attacks, whereas purugly is a cat that is far more capable of quickly pulling off an attack as soon as it knows what to do. Sorry if this is what your comment meant, but I assume you're talking about the time taken between the trainer giving the order and the Pokémon registering it.

[@julezz9791]

@@justaguyiguess910 still wouldn't make it faster than the lati twins. Jets are waaay faster than cats in real life to so that's even more invalid

[@michaelnorton2127]

The bulky pokemon having a lower physical attack actually makes some sense when you look at their speed stat. Physical attacks use kinetic energy, which is calculated as 1/mass X velocity squared. They have a lot of mass, but no speed to throw it around with.

[@sanstheskeleton4944]

Another surprising stat worth mentioning. Scyther STILL has 500 base stat total when it evolves into Scizor. It doesn't get more HP, Special Attack and Special Defense upon evolving, it just looses 40 Base Speed and gets plus 20 Base Attack and Defense. This stat swap might have made sense for a branched evolution line, where one would be faster and the other would be bulkier and hits harder, but it doesn't make sense for a straight evolution chain, Scizor should have been stronger. For all I know this is the only Pokemon that is just as strong as it's evolved form. Its stupid, it's sad and I hate it, Scizor being one of my favorite Pokemon :(
