The Min/Max values are calculated for a Pokémon at level 100. Maximum values are based on a beneficial nature, 252 EVs, 31 IVs. Minimum values are based on a hindering nature, 0 EVs, 0 IVs.

Tiers are calculated from the Pokémon with the highest available stat for that stat. Example: Blissey has the highest base HP at 255, so all tiers are divided by 6 from 255. Whereas the highest DEF is calculated from Shuckle at 230. This shows a better representation of where a Pokémon's base stat lies compared to the highest that stat can be. The length of the stat relative to the Tier also shows where it sits inside the Tier.

Pokédex entries:

Gastrodon

diamond

It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.

pearl

It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.

platinum

Long ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell. There are traces of it left in its cells.

heart-gold-soul-silver

When its natural enemy attacks, it oozes purple fluid and escapes.

black-white-black-2-white-2

Long ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell. There are traces of it left in its cells.

x-omega-ruby

When its natural enemy attacks, it oozes purple fluid and escapes.

y-alpha-sapphire

It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.

brilliant-diamond

It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.

shining-pearl

It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.

legends-arceus

Eats beach sand for nourishment. Should one Gastrodon encounter another of a different color, a fierce battle will inevitably ensue.

East Sea Form

sun

A team of researchers is scouring the oceans of the world in search of a Gastrodon in a color never seen before.

moon

Experiments are being conducted to discover what happens when a Gastrodon is raised in a location other than the sea where it was born.

ultra-sun

When it’s attacked, it gushes a purple liquid that’s not poisonous but makes Gastrodon’s meat bitter and inedible.

ultra-moon

A relative of Shellder and Cloyster, this ocean dweller sometimes comes onto land in search of food.

sword

It secretes a purple fluid to deter enemies. This fluid isn’t poisonous—instead, it’s super sticky, and once it sticks, it’s very hard to unstick.

shield

Its body is covered in a sticky slime. It’s very susceptible to dehydration, so it can’t spend too much time on land.

West Sea Form

sun

It has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours.

moon

Plankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known.

ultra-sun

Long ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin.

ultra-moon

Their shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm.

sword

Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.

shield

The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.

East Sea

legends-arceus

Found more often on the land than in the sea. More active when it’s cloudy or rainy out than when the weather is fair.
