The '''base stat values''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|種族値|しゅぞくち}}''' ''values of the species' attributes''), when referring to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species|Pokémon species}} as a whole, are the inherent [[Stats|stat]] values which allows it to be distinguished from other Pokémon species. It should not be confused with the '''[[Effort values|individual base stats]]''' of a Pokémon from a given species.
'''Base stats''', when referring to a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] as a whole, is a measure of that species's [[stats]] as compared to other species.


For example, {{p|Umbreon}} is mainly a defensive Pokémon, therefore all Umbreon will have low {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} scores compared to their higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} scores (regardless of the individual's [[Nature]], [[individual values]], or [[effort values|its own base stats]]).

While these values generally do not change from one game generation to the next, the change from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation II]] saw the introduction of separate Special Attack and Special Defense scores (they were previously a single shared stat, {{stat|Special}}), and [[Generation VI]] saw some Pokémon given a slight boost in stats, such as {{p|Pidgeot}} whose base Speed was increased from 91 to 101.
