Which is the fastest Pokemon in the meta game? 2 votes 7,442 views

I don't mean with abilities such as Gale Wings or moves such as Extremespeed, I literally mean which Pokemon has the most raw speed out of any other within the meta game.

• metagame
• 3ds
• xy
• speed

The fastest one at the moment would be Deoxys-S (Deoxys Speed) it holds the top spot with regard to speed. It has a base speed of 180 which equals a speed stat of 504 if it has 31 ivs, fully ev trained speed stat, and a positive speed nature.

By 'metagame', I'll assume that you mean tiers. Here are the top 5 fastest Pokemon in each tier with their base stats (Source):

Ubers:

Deoxys-S - 180 Deoxys, Deoxys-A - 150 Mewtwo/Gengar-M - 130 Shaymin-S - 127 Darkrai - 125

OU:

Alakazam-M - 150 Talonflame - 126 Weavile - 125 Greninja - 122 Tornadus-T - 121

UU:

Aerodactyl-M - 150 Crobat - 130 Noivern - 123 Alakazam - 120 Raikou/Starmie/Azelf - 115

RU:

Jolteon - 130 Meloetta-P - 128 Dugtrio - 120 Whimsicott - 116 Ambipom/Cinccino - 115

NU:

Ninjask - 160 Accelgor - 145 Electrode - 140 Swellow - 125 Sceptile - 120

answered Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf edited Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf no Meloetta-Pirouette? Its speed is 128 (its in RU) :( commented Sep 8, 2014 by MeloettaMelody Sorry xD That's the normal-psychic form rite commented Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf no, thats the Normal/Fighting. It prob wasn't on your list cos that isn't the form it starts a battle in. commented Sep 8, 2014 by MeloettaMelody No offense, but I made it clear when I said 'meta game,' two words, not one. Metagame is not a word. You can take it to mean tiers, yes, but meta game refers to competitive battling. Tiers exist only within ranked matches, and not everybody who plays competitively plays ranked matches. Thank you for your answer. commented Sep 9, 2014 by Dark Larceny Thanks. Detailed and useful :) This is really helpful for competing in the metagame. commented Sep 9, 2014 by Sir_Mudkip @DarkLacerny: It probably would have been better to have explained that, because I'd say that 99% of competitive battlers wouldn't see the difference. commented Sep 9, 2014 by Fizz

Deoxys -S.

This Pokemon is faster than every other Pokemon (no exaggeration) with a base 180 base speed. This is why it is such a good suicide lead, as it can set hazards on the field pretty much before every non-prioritized Pokemon.

Deoxys-S is closely followed by Ninjask, with base 160 speed, and then later by all the other base 150 speed Pokemon (namely Mega Alakazam, Mega Aerodactyl, Deoxys-A and Normal Deoxys).

Hope I helped!

answered Sep 8, 2014 by Qwerty_Zoom edited Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf My ninjask is faster than the average Deoxys -s then. :D It's nature ups its speed. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Entity1037 I meant without all those speed benefactors like natures, EVs, IVs, Items etc. In which case, Ninjask will always be outsped by Deoxys-S. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Qwerty_Zoom Not if ninjask has protect and Speed Boost. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Entity1037 A speed raise is also a benefactor. A +6 Speed Mega Aerodactyl outspeeds both Ninjask and Deoxys-S that way. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Qwerty_Zoom If they're given equal stat boosts (from Speed Boost, Agility, etc.), EVs, IVs and Natures, Deoxys-S will outspeed any Pokemon. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf No, Munchlax and Sunkern outspeed due to pure swag. commented Sep 8, 2014 by Sempi edited Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf Fixed, commented Sep 8, 2014 by Le Scraf
