Top 5 Pokemon that don't have stats they should

#5 - Golduck

Golduck is a pretty intimidating Pokemon. As an original, it should be given much better stats, especially since it is a fully evolved creature. Unfortunately, it was never given the Psychic-typing it should have received. Therefore, it's Special Attack, while it's its highest, is still rather low.

#4 - Decidueye

Decidueye has the same problem as Golduck. This fully evolved starter is lacking pretty hard. A 530 base stat total is nowhere near bad, but the way it is spread does Decidueye no favors.

It is a Grass/Ghost-type with fairly similar Attack and Special Attack, and should definitely have one or the other heightened because its Defense, Speed, and HP doesn't make up for it.

#3 - Talonflame

Talonflame is one of the more recent Pokemon to take the series by storm. Fans simply love it because it has a cool design and is really fun to use in battle. It has incredible Speed at 126, but everything else is sad, honestly. It should definitely have a higher Attack stat to be able to deal speedy damage.

#2 - Wishiwashi

In its Solo Form, Wishiwashi just plain sucks, but its School Form makes it a juggernaut. Both sets of Attack and Defense rise greatly to either 130 or above. However, it loses 10 total Speed from its Solo Form.

As a fish, it should just be fast. Or with multiple Pokemon basically combining to make this form, it should have a higher HP stat. Something has to give.

#1 - Vikavolt

Vikavolt definitely has one of the most surprising stats, or lack thereof. Its Pokedex entries inform that Vikavolt can zip around and perform crazy aerial acrobatics.

It is said to be able to maintain high-speed flight. Its Speed stat is only 43, though, which is lower than its pre-evolution Grubbin. Vikavolt deserves that boosted Speed stat.
