Which stat do you value the most?

[Almonds]

Title and poll says it all.

For me, I prefer Speed over anything else XDD I really love that feeling when I attack first XDD

 

[jda95]

Definitely speed for me. Getting the first shot in is always the most important for me. Other than that, it'd be Attack or Special Attack (moreseo Special Attack because contact moves have greater risks with Static and the like). I don't care for the defensive stats at all, really.

 

[Peachy]

Uh, it really depends on the Pokemon. But if I had to choose, Speed.

 

[GatoRage]

Definitely depends on the Pokemon, but I do prefer Pokemon with high Speed so I would say that's my most valued stat.

 

[Ivysaur]

I can't stand slow Pokémon in-game, so I guess I would say I value speed the most. But otherwise, Attack/Special Attack is just as important, if not moreso. Finishing things off quickly and cleanly is the way to go for me.

 

[Natural Harmonia Gropius]

Honestly, Speed. I really need it to make decisions about strategy.

 

[The_Banjo]

Between Speed and Sp. Atk, I chose Sp. Atk.
I think it's more valuable with a decent Sp. Def/Def and a decent Speed stat.

 

[Gaga]

I love special attackers, so went with that.

But I recognize that speed is highly vital, whether low or high, it determines the Pokemon's strategy and optimal set. I would even say it's the most important stat.
And I enjoy Trick Room teams, so I find myself liking slower Mons.

 

[Winterdaze]

HP. When it comes to both offence and defence, I prefer Pokemon that can take a hit.

 

[Meli]

It depends on many things but overall i think speed is the one i value the most, its important especially because of taunts , u-turns, volt switches, encores etcetera. Plus all the attacking statistics wont matter if you are not able to attack. Its a really odd question, they are all important^^

 

[Roulette]

Speed for sure. If you're faster, you have the ability to get your defs up before your opponent can attack, and then obviously you can get an attack off first. Plus you can use it to your advantage with moves like encore, taunt, etc.

 

[Lord Clowncrete]

Physical attack. Many of my fave mons like Conky, D-nite and Gyara specialize in attack.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Speed, if you don't want your Pokemon to get OHKO'd despite having decent defenses.

 

[Oswin]

All of them really, as people have said it depends on the Pokémon. I went with SpAtk though, because it's my favourite.

 

[Divienne]

I like Speed. It gives you the chance to attack or boost up first, and it can mean life or death. ^^

 

[Mareepy]

I chose SP Atk just because I actually rely on it rather than Atk.
Beside my offensive team, I have a stall team, and it actually need no Speed, so I think it really depends.

 

[ZACH ATTACK]

I picked HP because that's what I EV train the most in. The reason I EV train the most in it is because it goes with Pokemon that have massive Attack and bad Speed, like Conkeldurr. Not to mention it helps to avoid being OHKO'd.

 

[Wizel]

I chose SP Def

 

[We'reBlastinOffAgain]

Probably Sp. Attack, Attack and Defense. It all depends on if the pokemon is a physical or special attacker. Speed doesn't bother me too much, I like to use fast pokemon anyways, but I can always just give one of my slower ones a Quick Claw.

 

[Neon Borealis]

Speed can be the diference between winning or losing.
