ITT: Pokemon that should have higher base stats based on their descriptions.

>Shiftry is a wicked and mysterious Pokémon that lives atop ancient trees in deep forests. It arrives with chilly, wintry winds and is feared by people as the guardian of the forest. It is able to read an opponent’s mind, and then take preemptive action. In the anime, it was shown to lead large groups of Seedot and Nuzleaf.

is 154/130 with 106/90/90 bulk and basically every move it could ever use not "ultimate" enough for you?

>Its speed is astonishing, but not more so than its precise aim, which enables the arrow quill to pierce a target through and through from half a mile or more away!

>>32148269
By definition it isn't ultimate because other Pokémon have stats that surpass it.
>>
>Compressing the energy from its internal core lets it fire off an attack capable of blowing away a mountain
>Special Attack is 60, Attack is 135
Why didn't they swap those stats around? Doing so would have made more sense considering the dex entry, and it also would have made Gigalith more unique, because there are way too few special-attacking Rock-type Pokemon out there.

nah, they should all be slow, with great attack and defense stats, and mediocre everything else

> is the direct descendant of the very first cells
that's stupid, every single living being are descendant of the very first cell
>>
>>32148408
But it's the direct descendant, with like no alterations. It's the most basal Pokémon that's alive in canon (also because of that doesn't that make it the actual predecessor of all Pokémon, not Mew?)
>>
>>32148291
Which is why it got 2 megas
>>
>>32148433
the whole mew predecessor of all pokemon barely makes sense anyway
on one hand canon evidence supports the idea of a one off creation even with all the arceus mythology stuff and on the other evolution and extinction events where also shown to be a thing within the pokemon universe

So as not to make it weak to Dark Pulse and Crunch and such?
At least it can learn Calm Mind, Psychic, and a bunch of other useful moves; cry us a river, memester.
