What Are Base Stats?
Fixed Stats Shared Across A Pokemon Species
Base stats are shared statistics across one Pokemon species. These do not change and they determine a Pokemon's statistic's traits & strengths.
Base Stats Determine Pokemon Traits & Strengths
A Pokemon's base stats determine its strengths. For example, a Dragonite's Attack is higher than an Electrode's but the Electrode's Speed is higher than the Dragonite's.
Base Stat Difference Example:
| Pokemon | HP | Atk. | Def. | Sp. Atk. | Sp. Def. | Spd. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrode | 60 | 50 | 70 | 80 | 80 | 150 |
| Dragonite | 91 | 134 | 95 | 100 | 100 | 80 |
Base Stats Are Fixed & Don't Change
Base stats are hidden and don't change. There is no way to check a Pokemon's base stats in-game.

Utilizing Base Stats To Your Advantage
