What is the highest number you can get in each stat in Gen 8?

(moves, abilities and items included) self explanatory

Back in Sun/Moon, I had this answered athttps://pokemondb.net/pokebase/50959/what-is-the-highest-stat-possible?show=313243#a313243– let’s see what changes in Sword/Shield.

For HP, Blissey is one of the species that was culled from the game and not included in the Galar dex, so it can’t be used. In return, Dynamax was added as a mechanic, so currently a Dynamax Wobbuffet (the highest HP to survive the cull) reaches 1168. However, it’s been advertised that Chansey and Blissey will be among the Pokemon returning in the upcoming DLC packs; once those are released, a Dynamax Blissey will top out at 1428 HP. Or, bending the rules in a way, while the player’s scale factor for Dynamax HP ranges between 1.5 and 2.0 based on dynamax level (it’s (30 + DL)/20), the scale factor in Max Raid Battles is dependent on the star level of the raid, with 1-star raids getting 1.4x HP and 5-star raids getting a whopping 3.0x, which is more than the player can ever get. So, supposing a Wild Area News event were ever released in the mold of Mewtwo, but featuring a level 100 Blissey in a 5-star raid after the DLC is released, that can have a maximum of 1953 HP (651 x 3, since it won’t have any EVs as a wild battle). Too bad the players would never be able to see the numeric figures that go with Max Raid HP bars.

In Attack, nothing changed. Pikachu (of course), Shuckle, and Cherrim all survived the cull, as did a source of Huge Power (say, Diggersby) and the right moves to do what they did, but nothing that can improve on them. 14712 is still the limit there. (It would increase slightly to 14728 if Pikachu had a way of legally executing Transform, since that way it could transform directly into Shuckle and still get the Light Ball boost, but it doesn’t.)

In Defense, I suggested using a Smeargle, which is no longer possible. But the basic skeleton is still there: you want something with Substitute (to make Transform repeatedly fail), Guard Swap, Skill Swap, and a defense-boosting move. Guard Swap actually became a TM in Sword/Shield, giving it more widespread distribution than before, while Skill Swap is a TR and Substitute is of course a universal TR. Mr. Rime can do all that for example, using Barrier as its defense boosting move. It’s slightly inferior to Cotton Guard in having to be used 3 times to max out the stat instead of 2, but there’s easily enough time to handle that. Then for the ability, Furfrou was culled as a donor of Fur Coat, but Alola Persian is still there (at least now that you can transfer one up from Bank) and gets you to the same final total, 9808.

Special Attack works out similarly to Attack: Pikachu is still there, as is Power Split. Plus and Minus still exist in the region courtesy of Toxtricity, and despite being only 1.5 instead of 2.0, they’re still the best multipliers we can get for that stat out of the ability slot. What’s different is that we no longer have megas or primals, and Pokemon like Deoxys and Xurkitree have also been culled. The highest surviving raw stat we have there is 482 from White Kyurem, which means that repeatedly transferring to another Pokemon with Power Split can only lift it as far as 481 (and in fact, for this exercise we actually needPikachuto Mimic Power Split and be the one using that move to repeatedly siphon from Kyurem). Because of the lower starting point, we can’t help but finish lower: the best that was possible in the SM version was 6408, but now the limit is only 5772.

There aren’t any HP-increasing moves, abilities, or items, so Blissey, with714, would have the highest HP stat possible.

Shuckle is able to have up to2,456Attack by usingWithdrawsix times, thenPower Trick.

Mega Mewtwo Y is able to have up to2,140Special Attack using the moveCalm Mind. Items don’t really make a difference, because the only ones that do increase attack are the Choice items.

For both Defense and Special Defense, Shuckle can get up to2,456by usingWithdraworAcupressure.
