Why it's so fast

Game data

Mega Gengar sits here because the games give its Mega Evolution a base Speed of 130. 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 130 for Mega Gengar. None of them timed an animal.

  2. Mega Gengar sinks into the floor

    Mega Gengar's lore is a shadow that comes up from under you, and the games publish a higher base Speed with that Mega. The grin is fiction. The integer is the stat block.

  3. Mega Evolution

    Mega Gengar is Gengar's Mega Evolution. The games publish a separate stat block, so it is not folded into the base form.

Nearby on the base Speed list: Eternatus and Jolteon. Same kind of stat. Different lore.
