Performance
A Pokémon's performance (Japanese: パフォーマンス performance) is made up of stats that exist for use in the Pokéthlon. There are five different performance stats; Speed, Technique, Jump, Power, and Stamina.
Each Pokémon has a different base performance, not unlike stats, although a Pokémon does not start with its maximized performance. Instead, Performance can be improved by feeding the Pokémon Apricorn drinks, which are made with an Apricorn Shaker.
Stats
Speed
Speed is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéthlon games involving any sort of racing. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Speed stat. It is not to be confused with the Speed stat used in Pokémon battles, which is すばやさ in Japanese (whereas this is スピード). Speed is used in Dash Hurdle, Change Relay, Push Circle, Ring-Out Fight, Catch Saucer, Smash Goal, and Steal Flag.
Power
Power is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéthlon game involving fighting or the usage of physical force. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Power stat. The Power Performance stat is the most commonly used stat in the Pokéthlon, being used in every event with the exception of Dash Hurdle.
Technique
Technique is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéthlon games involving strategy. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Technique stat. Technique is used in Bound Field, Shooting Snow, Steal Flag, Dash Hurdle, Change Relay, Break Block, and Smash Goal.
Jump
As the name implies, Jump is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéthlon games involving jumping. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Jump stat. Jump is the least commonly used stat in the Pokéthlon, being used only in Dash Hurdle, Ring-Out Fight, Bound Field, and Catch Saucer.
Stamina
Stamina is an important stat for a Pokémon that is competing in any Pokéthlon games involving a risk of fatigue. In order to perform well in such events, a Pokémon will need to have a high Stamina stat. Stamina is used in Ring-Out Fight, Shooting Snow, Change Relay, Break Block, Bound Field, Push Circle, Smash Goal, and Steal Flag.

Trivia
- 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. It shares its Performance stats with Mew, Ditto, Giratina's Origin Forme, and Arceus. However, this could have been implemented to compensate for its low stats.
- No event in the Pokéthlon requires less than three Performance stats.
- Despite this, no event in the Pokéthlon requires every statistic, meaning that every event requires either three or four stats.
