Speed tiers
How to use Speed comparison
Compare your Pokémon’s Speed to common base-Speed tiers and Pokémon you add, and see the investment needed to outspeed.
Set your nature, Effort values (or Ability Points), stages, item/ability multipliers, Tailwind, and paralysis.
Common base-Speed tiers appear by default; add Pokémon to compare (assumed max Speed).
Chips show 0 Spe, 4 Spe, the outspeed line, and max investment with the resulting Speed.

Tips
