'''Base stats''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|種族値|しゅぞくち}}''' ''values of the species' attributes''), now officially referred to as '''species strengths''', in the context of a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] as a whole, are the inherent, immutable values which define the average [[Stats|strengths]] of Pokémon of a given species. This should not be confused with what are also known [[Effort values|base stats]] in the context of an individual Pokémon (often called effort values or EVs), which are variable values that influence a Pokémon's stats beyond these species strengths.

A species's base stats range from values of 1 to 255, and are often the prime representation of the potential a Pokémon species has in battle. As an example, the base stats for {{p|Umbreon}} make them mainly defensive Pokémon, meaning that Umbreon will generally have relatively low {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} scores in comparison to their {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} scores. When considering an individual Umbreon, however, these differences may be mitigated or emphasized by other factors such as its [[Nature]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]].
