Introduction

Speed is the most significant stat in Pokemon. A single stat point can make or break a game at any moment. However, knowing whether or not it is safe to attack makes all the difference in a metagame such as Neverused, which is centered around bulky offense. One point too slow and all your investment is useless, but overshooting common Pokemon will lead to wasting EVs, either lowering the power or bulk of the Pokemon. While Neverused is blessed to have Pokemon as fast as Ninjask, it also has Pokemon as slow as Musharna inhabiting many teams. This list is designed to help players optimize the Speed of their Pokemon, as well as informing them of the common Speeds that Pokemon have, making it simpler to create EV spreads for your NU teams.
