This stat can be critical in long battles.Īttack and Special Attack measure the strength of moves used by your Pokémon the higher this is, the more damage you will do to opponents. The Speed stat decides which Pokémon will make the first move in battle. If your Pokémon's HP hits zero, it faints and is no longer usable in battle (it can still use Hidden Machines, though). HP (Hit Points) is a Pokémon's life force. Every Pokémon creature has an array of stats.
