How is height measured on a Pokemon?

Basically. I was flicking through random pages. And then I found;

Dunsparce and Salamence are the same height. WUT. ._. 1.5m / 4'11Am I just interpreting ‘height’ differently or is this Gamefreak logic again?.

Just to clarify I dont want to know their heights are 1.5 m I’m asking how the heck its the same as salamence is a beast and dunsparce a worm and is my interpretaion of height being from their tallest point to tge groud correct and that dunsparce is a freak of nature

With certain snake like Pokemon, such as Dragonair, Arbok and Dunsparnce, it seem they used theirlengthrather than their height. Why, I have no idea, but seeing as almost all snake Pokemon have an abnormal length, Dunsparnce’s height might very well be the result of measuring its Lenght rather than its actual height.

Salamence is actually that legit height, as you said dunsparce is a freak of nature and it hasn’t been noticed by you first

In the anime, Dunsparce is usually shown to be much shorter than 5feet, which is its listed height (or in this case, length) in thegames. It is also shown as much smaller than its listed height inPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, being even smaller thanPikachu. -Bulbapedia

trust me we’re all confused, I guess gamefreak made dunsparce insanely tall in the games…you know gamefreak xD
