What do you mean? Do you mean memorizing how fast each Pokemon is?

That and then guessing how much EVs they invested into Speed and nature
it's too much

In competitive play on Showdown, right? Most people will probably use the recommended set from Smogon, sometimes they might change the evs and/or the nature or even give it a scarf so try to keep other sets in mind and jot things down with notepad to try to help yourself memorize it.

Here you go anon. Keep it bookmarked for reference.

Thanks. I sometimes see sets where people only invest like 248 into Speed to outspeed specific things. How common is stuff like that?

>248
anything dividable by 8 is shit

>>30692608
It depends.

There's shit like Marowak where you have to pretty much guess if they invested enough speed to outspeed walls or not. There's very little way you can tell (other than seeing a telling damage roll showing its bulk, or lack of it).

A lot of the rest of the time, speed is pretty predictable. A lot of things are running Max Speed, no speed, or some very minimal speed (like 44 or something) to hit a specific benchmark, with great predictability. Knowing what those things are is just something you need to know to play the meta.
