Pokémon of a higher [[evolution]]ary stage will usually have higher base stats (both individually and in total) than their unevolved counterparts. The only exceptions to this pattern are {{p|Shedinja}}, whose base stat total is lower than {{p|Nincada}}'s by 30 points, and {{p|Scizor}}, whose base stat total is the same as {{p|Scyther}}'s. Evolved Pokémon also often have similar distributions to their base stats as their unevolved relatives, such as {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, and {{p|Alakazam}}, who gain 15 points in each base stat upon evolving (except for Alakazam's Special Defense in [[Generation VI]], which gains 25 points) | Pokémon of a higher [[evolution]]ary stage will usually have higher base stats (both individually and in total) than their unevolved counterparts.

Species from different branches of [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|Pokémon with a split evolutionary line]] will often have similar base stats to each other, but in different distributions. 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 are reversed (125 and 65, respectively). Pokémon species that are [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive to specific games]] but not explicitly related by evolution (such as {{p|Caterpie}} and {{p|Weedle}}) may also have base stats that are similar overall but have different distributions. | Species from different branches of [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|Pokémon with a split evolutionary line]] will often have similar base stats to each other, but in different distributions.

Many [[List of Pokémon with form differences|alternate forms]], particularly [[regional variant]]s, likewise differ in distribution but not base stat total. | ||
[[Mega Evolution]] and [[Primal Reversion]], except {{me|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]], result in a Pokémon's base stat total increasing by 100. | |||
