(→List of stats: I disagree with Loudo's talk page attempts at not including Mega Evolutions in these "highest base stat" notes, but he is correct to point out that "highest stat" and "highest base stat" are completely different things.) |

The '''Special''' stat is an obsolete stat that existed only up to [[Generation II]]. The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. With Generation II, the Special stat was outwardly split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[base stat]]s for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual value]]s and [[effort value]]s remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well. | The '''Special''' stat is an obsolete stat that existed only up to [[Generation II]].

The Speed stat is not used in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]; however, [[movement speed]] is considered its analogue in that series. | The Speed stat is not used in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]; however, [[movement speed]] is considered its analogue in that series. | ||
