A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s '''performance''' (Japanese: '''パフォーマンス''' ''performance'') is made up of stats that exist for use in the [[Pokéathlon]]. There are five different performance stats; Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

A Pokémon's ability in a performance stat can range from 1 to 5, though the maximum value of a given stat is determined by the Pokémon's species and is often lower than 5. The maximum values are unrelated to the species' base stat total, for example, {{p|Sunkern}} has a possible five stars in all performance stats, the highest possible total, while ironically sporting the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon that was available at the time (the same as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|Origin Forme]], and {{p|Arceus}}). The default value for a given stat is also determined by the Pokémon's species, and the actual value varies further on a daily basis based on the Pokémon's [[Nature]]. In order to maximize a performance stat that is not already at the species' maximum value, the Pokémon can be given Apricorn juice, which can be made with an [[Apriblender]] or purchased at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]].

As an example, a {{p|Typhlosion}}'s Skill performance can range from 1 to 3, with a default value of 2.  If the Typhlosion has a Serious nature, on some days (without the effects of any Aprijuice) it may be 1; if it has a Calm nature, it may be 3 (It cannot be 4, as that is beyond the maximum value for the species).
