I tweaked my widow build from 50 to 75 manipulation after the alpha came out and, oh my God, I was able to do so many more things! I felt like a golden goddess!

, discovering this tropeWith the Rampardos Theorum, we explored how brute power is far from the only thing a Pokémon needs to be a successful offensive threat. With the Bastiodon Theorum, we explored how enormous defensive stats don't necessarily make for good walls. With the Quagsire Theorum, we explored the inverse; how a Pokémon doesn't even necessarily need to have any high stats at all in order to be great. In this video, however, we're exploring Speed, which a good portion of you thought would follow this negative trend. Well actually, Speed may very well be the exception to this idea. A Pokémon with great Speed and not much else can still often find a small niche. Even if such Pokémon are generally bad, they're going to have something they're able to do, and if they can do it fast, they can have use found for them. This, as well as the fact that many great Pokémon tend to be great in large part thanks to their Speed stat, is testament to the importance of moving first. And that's why Speed... might be everything; otherwise known as the Deoxys Theorem.
