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.

crystal

The swirl on its belly is its insides showing through the skin. It looks clearer after it eats.

ruby-sapphire

Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.

leaf-green

Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking.
