Okay I lol'd at this. Hopefully I'm not the only one who get's the joke.How does that follow? An Earth Tortoise has an average speed of 67,062mph. That thing should be faster than electrode.

dont worry: you are not the only one who got it. You arent the only one who laughed hard with it, either. This thread is getting funnier and funnier.Okay I lol'd at this. Hopefully I'm not the only one who get's the joke.
Too much priority.Also, its worth to note that, both in anime and in its description, Scizor was lighting fast. And, well, 65 base isnt fast at all.
While I agree that GF makes some strange stat decisions to balance the metagame, Speed has just as much logic behind it than any other stat (therefore not much, but anyways..). People just often mess it up because they mistake it for "speed of movement" while it's meant to be "reaction speed" or -- the way it works in battles -- it describes the amount of time your pokemon needs to start doing its thing after you've told him so. (Also, priority attacks are reflexes.)Reaction speed? No, I don't think Pokemon stats are based on anything rational, but only point of that post was to show how his rationale was incorrect even if they did. Luxray only has 70 base speed yet something like Heatran has 77? It's not just about the species, a lot of it has to do with balance; that is, where the Pokemon is caught, its other stats, etc.
Funny sarcasm. I guess your points right since the anorexic alakazam can obviously outrun dodrio, an ostrich. In fact, being able to outrun things in a race clearly corresponds with fighting, shit how did I not realize that. Quick, someone call the track runners, they should be doing MMA.Thats exactly why Hitmonchan is super fast. Reaction speed.
Lol, that was funny. And dang, I just realized that it was reaction time too, but then why is Deoxys as fast as fuck in every form, except defense?Funny sarcasm.

Because their wasn't enough base points to go around and fill in his speed stat to base 150. He only gets 600 total and the bulk of it went to defense and their wasn't much left to increase his speed/attacks. In cases like these, its about balance.Lol, that was funny. And dang, I just realized that it was reaction time too, but then why is Deoxys as fast as fuck in every form, except defense?
EDIT: Wait, bees have fast reaction time? I stare at one for 30 mins and then step on it, and it doesn't move, then how is Ninjask so fast?
Your basing this off of my fist fighting example, which is an example I took from real life fighting, not pokemon. As far as hitmonchan goes, he's slow because of balance again, I think the hitmon family, like deoxys, has a certian amount of base points allowed and he must correspond with hitmonlee. Gamefreak isn't consistant, but I don't think it's too farfechted to beleive that the speed stat could be based on reaction time.edit: Hitmonchan should be fast because he got a super reaction speed, according to your theory.
Ninjask isn't a bee. It's a Cicada. Cicada's seem to be associated with speed in a lot of other things too so idk.Lol, that was funny. And dang, I just realized that it was reaction time too, but then why is Deoxys as fast as fuck in every form, except defense?

Basically, nothing in OU SHOULD get an evo.Off topic,but just sayin,should Breloom get a evo?
I dont mean to be offensive or anything , but can you please try double spacing? It's kind of a pain to read it like this x.x[This goes for your other posts as well]Yea, I guess ya'll are right. I never really thought of pokemon speed stats like that(attack reflex not running) However, according to pokedex entries, the pokemon they brag about moving fast usually have high speed, example pokedex entries: No pokemon beats infernape in swiftness, dugtrio can move at the speed of light under ground, Garchomp moves so fast that it downs trees, skarmory's is false because they say it can move at around 180mph in the pokedex, yet 70 base speed. After all said in done, Regardless of the species of pokemon. Game freak will always adjust the base speed of pokemon so they won't be brocken in the video game.
Suprisingly I havent,but Its abilities and some of its moves are amazing,so I imagine it must be difficult.skylar, what kind of question is that?
obviously youve never been up against a breloom
