WolfgangDamien Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 So I did a match making the other day and had a match that pinned my 6x31, 252 speed, jolly Dodrio (no speed boost hold-item) vs a Feraligator. The Feraligator outsped my Dodrio. I looked up the stats and theres no way any Feraligator could outspeed my perfect speed-natured Dodrio by normal stats alone. So my question is, can any hold item in the game make a Feraligator faster than a perfect speed natured Dodrio? or is this a bug? Link to comment

Theres about a 25 point difference in max speeds, thats a pretty good spread to cover. I didnt think even the swift choice bands would make such a slow mon outspeed one of the fastest.

Thanks! keep in mind that like any other choice band it has a drawback of locking your pokemon onto a single move Unless you switch out that pokemon ofc Edited March 17, 2017 by LifeStyle Link to comment

I may have to redo some evs though. Link to comment
Bilburt Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Unlike choiceband swift choice band just boosts speed meaning you're losing a 50% attack boost if you do decide to use speed choice band Link to comment
