BASE STATS FAQ
Hello again, here's another faq I forgot to wright; It's called "Base Stats." Well, what are base stats? Here's your answer:
There's another system you would need to know, one less hidden, but equally
important nonetheless, and that is base stats.
You know, some Pokemon are made to do certain things. Their base stat says
so. For example, Alakazam simply can NOT attack physically, and the opposite
can be said for Rhydon. That's because their base stats say so.
Every species of Pokemon has a set of base stats, and these determine just
how high a stat would go. For example, Alakazam's base stats:
HP: 55
ATT: 50
DEF: 45
SPD: 120
SA: 135
SD: 85
Notice the absurdly high base for speed and special attack. This means that
you can pump EVERYTHING to boost Alakazam's attack, but it'll still suck
compared to it's SA because Alakazam's attack just sucks. There is no way you
can change it, just like there is no way to change the fact that Snorlax is
plain slow.
Alakazam, lv.100, with max IVs, ADAMANT (+ att, - SA), and max attack EVs:
Att: 218
SA: 275
See, even with you putting EVERYTHING into attack, it's SA still outshines
attack by a large chunk.
Now let's see a special oriented zam.
Lv.100, max IVs, MILD (+ SA, - def so attack is not lowered), max SA EVs.
Att: 136
SA: 405
Sorry, Alakazam will *ALWAYS* be a special sweeper.
It's important to understand that base stats play a part in determining what
roles Pokemon play. You might like to see Alakazam using Slash, but that won't
cut it. So, your decisions for Pokemon will always depend on a Pokemon's base
stats.
