>At full gallop, its four hooves barely touch the ground because

Movement Speed =/= Combat Speed, which is a combination of reactivity and agility. Same reason why Vikavolt is slow.

The Pokédex is written by children and is therefore full of inaccuracies.

Mew cannot learn Crabhammer.

90 speed isn't even fucking slow

>>32465481
>Taking Pokedex stuff seriously

Rapidash has 105 speed

>>32465506
But the dex says mew can learn anything.

except crabhammer

I like to think that Speed measures the pokemons reaction time as well as their actual movement speed, since its a measure of combat swiftness.
tldr; rapidash can run but is an idiot

>>32465481
>Base 90

>>32465504
I think that's the right answer.

>>32465481
90 base speed in Gen I was like having 130 base speed now

>>32465504
Omg, thank you so much, those morons never get it

>>32465481
At least it's not Vikavolt

>>32465481
>a landshark with 102 speed and no wings can fly faster than fighter jets

>>32466459
Landshark is not a real animal so they can tack on whatever bullshit they feel like

>>32465504
Also, FULL speed. The entry gives no indication of how long it takes to reach it.

>A horse in its gallop isn't movement speed.

Are you autistic?

>>32465481

90 base speed used to be semi fast.

>>32466904
Gallop is movement speed, yes, but NOT COMBAT SPEED

do you have any reading comprehension?

>>32465506
But that's wrong, at what point is it stated that it's written by the protag, ignoring the fact most dex entries for most mons across the games are consistent with each other ie Tyranitar is constantly hyped up to be a mountain crusher.

>The speed of the pokemon Is how fast it can move in any situation


This is why GF should not Let that data open, it is hell to obvious.

>>32466904


Both of you are autistic

>>32465958
Rapidash had a 105 base speed in gen 1, which put it in the top 10% of gen 1 speed Pokemon.

Vikavolt would be perfect if they swapped physical defense and speed.
Vic Viper ships were one hit wonders that could zip around the screen dodging shots to protect themselves.

There are dozens of moves it can't learn tho

Seems relevant.

It is by today's standards. Anything sub 95 that isn't a bulky monster is PU tier bait.

Same reason Onix sucks despite being a gigantic mass of boulders

>>32465481
Because it's measuring its dexterity, not its speed.

Speed stat is its Dex.

And yes, it is bullshit.

>>32467356

There are dozens of moves it DOES NOT LEARN WHEN TRAINED BY PLAYER. Doesn't mean it can't learn them at all.
