== Most/least trivia ==
Heya. FYI, we only allow most/least trivia here when it's among all Pokemon or among all Pokemon of a type, and not for any other kind of subgroups like fully evolved or Mega Evolved.
The biggest reason is just that no one keeps track of it well enough and when generations change bunches of these trivia get left without being updated. It's also a big pain to remember which particular groups or exceptions are okay and which aren't (and it can add up to incredible amounts of trivia for all sorts of combinations), so the simple answer is to just keep it to types and universal. In large part, other things like fully evolved and ME stats are also more useful for competitive play, and that is not Bulbapedia's focus.

Most/least trivia

Heya. FYI, we only allow most/least trivia here when it's among all Pokemon or among all Pokemon of a type, and not for any other kind of subgroups like fully evolved or Mega Evolved.

The biggest reason is just that no one keeps track of it well enough and when generations change bunches of these trivia get left without being updated. It's also a big pain to remember which particular groups or exceptions are okay and which aren't (and it can add up to incredible amounts of trivia for all sorts of combinations), so the simple answer is to just keep it to types and universal. In large part, other things like fully evolved and ME stats are also more useful for competitive play, and that is not Bulbapedia's focus. Tiddlywinks (talk) 20:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
