Hmm, it seems like I'll have to reformat the data later. The vast majority of pokemon take hits similarly... even though they may be separated by several dozen pokemon. For example, Arcanine vs Heracross is only a 10% difference in physical damage. Certainly notable... but with a difference in ranking of 45 pokemon, you may overestimate the difference.

On the other hand, a difference of 45 pokemon starting from Regirock down to Mew/Shaymin/Manaphy is a difference of some 50%. Thats how much choice-items boost someone's attack.

What I'm saying is... don't be fooled by the formatting. Just because pokemon are close together, don't assume they will be similar in combat. I mean, Chansey is #2 in Special Defense compared to Blissey, and I'm sure everyone knows how much that evolution helped Chansey.

I think formatting this on an exponential scale or some kind of tier list will tell things better than instead of just listing the rankings. With that said, think before you conclude something here.
