Base Stat Total (BST) is the standard cross-Pokémon power benchmark. the sum of HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. Higher BST generally means more versatile capability, but it does not account for typing, abilities, movepools, or competitive metagame factors. The Pokémon below have the highest base stat totals across all 1,025 species (base forms only; Mega Evolutions and Gigantamax forms are stronger but not counted as separate species).
