Hypothetically, what would happen if a Pokemon had 0 in a base stat?

On the Damage Calculator, whenever you backspace the base stats of a Pokemon, the lowest it goes is 1. What would happen if a Pokemon had 0 in a base stat?

Say I have a hypothetical Squirtle with 0 base HP.

-His minimum HP at Lv. 100 would beZERO.-His maximum HP at Lv. 100 would beZERO.-Giving him 252 HP EVs would mean his HP would beZERO.- He would always be knocked out. Even Nurse Joy couldn’t help him.

Seriously, though. Stats work by multiplication. One of the most basic laws of mathematics is that if you multiply something by zero, the answer is zero. Like this formula:

(x)(0)=0

Why? becausezero is not a number.It is a place holder. This means that it cannot be multiplied by anything, therefore not increasing in size or quantity, because itdoes not exist.

So sorry, but if you had a Pokémon with a base Attack of zero then it would always be zero.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that Grime Time’s answer is incorrect. Theses are the formulas for calculating Pokemon stats:a is base stat (for a particular species or form)b is levelc is IVsd is EVsf is nature (x1.1 for beneficial, x0.9 for hindering)HP: b(2a+c+d/4)/100+10 except for Shedinja, whose HP is always 1.Other stats: f(b(2a+c+d/4)/100+5)A Pokemon with a base HP of 0, at level 1, with 0 IVs and 0 EVs would have 10 HP, according to the formula.sourcePS. 0 is a number; it’s simply imaginary. (note that by some definitions 0 is both real and imaginary)PPS. PS stands for Play Station.
