Base stats
Base stats are the six numbers fixed per species that set how high each of its stats can grow
Base stats run from 1 to 255. Blissey has the highest base HP at 255, Shuckle the highest base Defense at 230, and Shedinja has a base HP of 1. Every individual of a species shares the same base stats; individual values, effort values and nature produce the differences.
Main-series games; introduced in Generation I, Red and Green.
