Explanation: This simplified formula shows the basic components that contribute to a Pokemon's speed stat.
Details: Speed determines which Pokemon attacks first in battle. Even small differences can be crucial in competitive play.

Q1: Is this the complete speed formula?
A: This is a simplified version. The full formula includes nature and IVs which we've omitted for simplicity.
Q2: What's the maximum possible speed?
A: With maximum base speed, level 100, 252 EVs, positive nature, and 31 IVs, some Pokemon can exceed 400 speed.
Q3: How important are speed EVs?
A: Extremely important in competitive battles where outspeeding opponents by even 1 point can decide matches.
Q4: Should I always max out speed EVs?
A: Not always. Some strategies use slower Pokemon, and EVs might be better spent on other stats depending on your build.
Q5: How does this compare to other stat calculations?
A: Other stats use similar formulas but with different modifiers. Speed is unique in its battle importance.
