Dragapult

Game data

Dragapult sits here because the games give it a base Speed of 142. That integer is a battle stat. The explanation is game lore, not a running speed.

1. A stat, not a stopwatch

   Base Speed is the number a battle uses before natures, items and stages. PokéAPI, Bulbapedia and Serebii agree on 142 for Dragapult. None of them timed an animal.

2. It launches its young

   Dragapult's lore is that the Dreepy it carries are fired from its horns like missiles. The games back that story with a high base Speed. The missiles are fiction. The integer is the battle stat.

3. One species block

   Dragapult has one main base Speed. A Mega, a regional form or a fusion is a different row when the games publish a different integer.

Nearby on the base Speed list: Zeraora and Mega Mewtwo Y. Same kind of stat. Different lore.
