Some Pokemon are particularly fast, which means they can take action before their opponents in battles. However, speed alone isn’t enough – a good selection of moves or high Attack/Special Attack is also crucial, and certain moves can bypass speed entirely. Nevertheless, speed is a valuable starting point for designing a Pokemon. In the game Pokémon GO, Accelgor, an evolution of Shelmet, loses its base Speed of 145, which significantly outweighs its next-best base Stat of 100 Special Attack. This situation is not unique to Accelgor, as many other Pokemon face similar issues. To provide a second opportunity for Pokémon like these, the game could consider introducing a revised version of the Speed stat.
