WHY ARE POKEMON DOGS, SPIDERS, BEARS, AND BIRDS OF PREY ALWAYS SO SLOW? THESE ANIMALS ARE FAST

What is Lycanroc
What is Galvantula

What is this?
The difference between the strategies used by different spider species is enormous. Diving bell spiders aren't particularly fast. Not every spider is a wolf spider.

I like to think there's a difference between run speed and battle speed.
Or maybe rapidash is a 1-trick pony, and just spams flame charge or agility.
Or maybe they were named by 10yos, which is why Alakazam supposedly has 5k IQ, but still only knows 4 moves at a time.
Or maybe Japs can't write their way out of a paper bag.

105 speed was pretty fast in gen 1. Power creep happened.

Talonflame is even faster than Weavile, also use priority≠be fast.

The speed stat isn't literally how fast the Pokemon can move, it's initiative.

Arcanine is not that slow, it has 95 base speed, which is pretty good for a gen I pokemon especially considering its other stats.
I do agree that they should reflect dex entries better though, Arcanine is described as a very fast runner. Then again, running speed is not the same as fighting speed. It's not like a fast runner necessarily also has fast attacks.
