{{ | {{search|fixed stat element of a species of Pokémon|the variable stat element of an individual Pokémon also officially known as base stats|Effort values}} | ||
'''Base stats''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|種族値|しゅぞくち}}''' ''values of the species' attributes''), officially referred to as '''species strengths''', in the context of a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] as a whole, are the inherent, immutable values which define the average [[Stats|strengths]] of Pokémon of a given species. This should not be confused with what are also known [[Effort values|base stats]] in the context of an individual Pokémon (often called effort values or EVs), which are variable values that influence a Pokémon's stats beyond these species strengths. | |||

''' | |||
A species's base stats range from values of 1 to 255, and are often the prime representation of the potential a Pokémon species has in battle. As an example, the base stats for {{p|Umbreon}} make them mainly defensive Pokémon, meaning that Umbreon will generally have relatively low {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} scores in comparison to their {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} scores. When considering an individual Umbreon, however, these differences may be mitigated or emphasized by other factors such as its [[Nature]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. | |||
==Patterns== | |||
Pokémon of a higher [[evolution]]ary stage will usually have higher base stats (both individually and in total) than their unevolved counterparts. The only exceptions to this pattern are {{p|Shedinja}}, whose base stat total is lower than {{p|Nincada}}'s by 30 points, and {{p|Scizor}}, whose base stat total is the same as {{p|Scyther}}'s. Evolved Pokémon also often have similar distributions to their base stats as their unevolved relatives, such as {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, who gain 15 points in each base stat upon evolving (except for Alakazam's Special Defense in [[Generation VI]], which gains 25 points). | |||
Species from different branches of [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|Pokémon with a split evolutionary line]] will often have similar base stats to each other, but in different distributions. For example, while {{p|Gardevoir}}'s base stats for Attack and Special Attack are 65 and 125, respectively, its counterpart {{p|Gallade}}'s Attack and Special Attack stats are reversed (125 and 65, respectively). Pokémon species that are [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive to specific games]] but not explicitly related by evolution (such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}) may also have base stats that are similar overall but have different distributions. | |||
Pokémon | ==Differences between generations== | ||
While these values generally do not change from one game generation to the next, they have changed in two generation gaps. In [[Generation II]], the {{stat|Special}} stat from the [[Generation I]] games was separated into {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}. In [[Generation VI]], some Pokémon received a slight boost in stats, such as {{p|Pidgeot}}'s base Speed being increased from 91 to 101. | |||
