Base stats usually give a general idea of the strengths and weaknesses a specific Pokémon will have. Pokémon often focus on some stats more than others. For example, {{p|Umbreon}} is mainly a defensive Pokémon; therefore its base stats in {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are low compared to their corresponding defensive stats.
