What counts as a high stat?

Jun. 15, 2024

At first I thought 120 base stat was good because it’s the same as arceus’s but then I saw someone say that 110 and 100 were also good so now I’m confused. Applies to all stats btw

There’s no such thing as a good stat. A Pokemon is useful because of its stats, types, moves, good teammates it can support, and common threats it can check. For example, Gliscor is a good special wall in gen 9 OU despite its 75 special defense because of its defensive typing, poison heal, common threats like Heatran and Raging Bolt, and support moves like toxic, spikes, and knock off that it can use when forcing switches. On the other extreme, there are Pokemon like Regice with 200 special defense but no good healing moves, no good support moves, vulnerability to just about every status and entry hazard (and thus vulnerability to knock off if it uses heavy-duty boots), and awful defensive typing that prevents it from checking common special attackers like Darkrai, Glimmora, Gholdengo, and Iron Moth.
