This is trivia, not something that belongs in the lead.
(Rewording the comparison- it implied that Mew, Ditto, Arceus, etc. all had the lowest possible BST at the time.)

A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s '''performance''' (Japanese: '''パフォーマンス''' ''performance'') is made up of stats that exist for use in the [[Pokéathlon]]. There are five different performance stats; Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

A Pokémon's ability in a performance stat can range from 1 to 5, though the maximum value of a given stat is determined by the Pokémon's species and is often lower than 5. The maximum values are unrelated to the species' base stat total, for example, {{p|Sunkern}} has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total and the same as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]], and {{p|Arceus}}, while ironically sporting the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon that was available at the time . The default value for a given stat is also determined by the Pokémon's species, and the actual value varies further on a daily basis based on the Pokémon's [[Nature]]. In order to maximize a performance stat that is not already at the species' maximum value, the Pokémon can be given Apricorn juice, which can be made with an [[Apriblender]] or purchased at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]].

As an example, a {{p|Typhlosion}}'s Skill performance can range from 1 to 3, with a default value of 2.  If the Typhlosion has a Serious nature, on some days (without the effects of any Aprijuice) it may be 1; if it has a Calm nature, it may be 3 (It cannot be 4, as that is beyond the maximum value for the species).

* Every event in the Pokéathlon requires either three or four performance stats.

* {{p|Sunkern}} has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total—the same as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ditto}}, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]] {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Arceus}}. Ironically, it has the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
