Commonly, related Pokémon will have similar base stats, though distributed differently. This is one main difference between the two or more branches of a [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|split evolutionary line]]. 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 have inverted values. Pokémon of a higher [[evolution|evolutionary]] stage will also usually have higher base stats than those of a lower one, and will have higher total stats than those of their pre-evolved counterparts; the only exception is {{p|Shedinja}}, whose base stat total is lower than its pre-evolved form, {{p|Nincada}}, by 30.

Pokémon with the high base stat totals are often banned from tournaments. This is because they are considered too powerful.
