Pokémon of a higher [[evolution]]ary stage will usually have higher base stats (both individually and in total) than their unevolved counterparts. The only exceptions to this pattern are {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, whose base stat totals are the same as {{p|Scyther}}'s. Evolved Pokémon also often have similar distributions to their base stats as their unevolved relatives, such as {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, who gain 15 points in each base stat upon evolving (except for Alakazam's Special Defense from [[Generation VI]] onward, which gains 25 points).

Species from different branches of [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|Pokémon with a split evolutionary line]] will often have similar base stats to each other, but in different distributions. For example, while {{p|Gardevoir}}'s base stats for Attack and Special Attack are 65 and 125, respectively, its counterpart {{p|Gallade}}'s Attack and Special Attack stats are reversed (125 and 65, respectively). Pokémon species that are [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive to specific games]] but not explicitly related by evolution (such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}) may also have base stats that are similar overall but have different distributions. Many [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]], particularly [[regional form]]s, likewise differ in distribution but not base stat total.

[[Mega Evolution]] and [[Primal Reversion]] result in a Pokémon's base stat total increasing by 100, except {{me|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]] which has a base stat total increase of 90.
