Pokémon Base Stats Higher or Lower

Two Pokémon appear side by side. One question: which one has the higher base stat total? Tap your answer, and the streak continues until you are wrong.

The deck is the whole National Dex — all 1,025 Pokémon from Bulbasaur to Pecharunt. A pair can be a starter against a legendary, or two middle evolutions nobody remembers. A long run needs real Pokédex knowledge, not just the famous names.

How to play

• Two cards are dealt. The base stat total for the Pokémon on the left is already on screen.
• Tap the Pokémon you think has the higher base stat total.
• A correct tap reveals the number, moves the challenger to the left, and deals the next Pokémon. Your streak goes up by one.
• A wrong tap ends the run. Your score is the streak you reached.
• Your best streak is in the top bar. A new record is saved and counts on the leaderboard.
• Go through all 1,025 Pokémon without a miss and you complete the chain, at a streak of 1,024.

What counts in this quiz

• All 1,025 Pokémon of generations 1 to 9, each shown with its official artwork and its generation.
• The base stat total is the sum of the six base stats: HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed.
• Each Pokémon counts in its base form. Mega Evolutions, regional forms and other alternate forms are not separate cards.
• Two Pokémon are never compared when their totals are close. The quiz needs a gap of at least 4%, so no question is a coin flip. In a genuine tie, either answer counts as correct.

What's not included — and why

• Effort values, individual values, natures and levels are not part of the number. The quiz compares species base stats only.
• Type match-ups do not matter here. A Pokémon that would win the battle can still lose the comparison.

Good to know

• Arceus has the highest base stat total in the deck at 720. Wishiwashi has the lowest at 175 — until it forms a school.
• Exactly 600 is the classic legendary number: Pecharunt, the Tao trio and many box legendaries' companions all sit on it.
• Slaking's 670 is the highest total of any non-legendary Pokémon — higher than many legendaries. Its ability, Truant, throws half of it away in battle.
