Outspeed Quiz

The Outspeed quiz fixes your Pokemon, investment, nature, and item, then asks whether you outspeed, fall behind, or tie a random opponent.

You can tune Nature, EVs, and Choice Scarf. Whether the opponent is allowed to hold Scarf is also configurable, so you can get a realistic feel for what a given spread covers.

What outspeed tuning means

Outspeed tuning sets your actual Speed at least one point above a chosen target. Equal values are a tie. Move priority, Trick Room, and other effects on turn order must be considered separately.

Your own conditions stay fixed between questions. Compare them with the conditions shown for each opponent to practice the range your spread covers.

Factoring in Choice Scarf

Choice Scarf lifts Speed enough to rewrite the whole premise of a tune. If you hold Scarf, you clear targets you would normally lose to; but if you ignore the chance that the opponent holds one, a spread you thought was safe gets flipped. Toggle the opponent's Scarf in the settings and check your realistic range both with and without it.

How it differs from the Speed quiz

The Speed Quiz compares two random Pokemon and can include investment and Choice Scarf. The Outspeed Quiz keeps your own Pokemon and conditions fixed. Use Speed for varied pairings, or Outspeed to learn which opponents your chosen spread beats.

When to use it

• When you want to know how far a new team's Speed line reaches against common Pokemon.
• When you want to internalize Scarf-included outspeed ranges.
• When you want faster turn-one calls about who moves first.

FAQ

Should I just max out Speed?

Not necessarily. Find a spread at least one point above your target, then consider investing the remaining points in other stats. Speed alone does not settle turn order when effects such as move priority apply.

How much opposing Scarf should I assume?

It depends on the format and the specific opponent, but folding in Pokemon that commonly run Scarf cuts down on accidents. Toggle the opponent's Scarf and check your range both with and without it.

Do I need to do the Speed quiz too?

They serve different purposes, so both help. Learn the rough order in the Speed quiz, then translate it into your own final number in the Outspeed quiz so the knowledge carries into real decisions.
