In Pokémon, six key stats determine a Pokémon's performance: HP (Health Points, 1-255), Attack (physical attacking power, 10-180), Defense (physical defensive ability, 10-180), Special Attack (special attacking power, 10-180), Special Defense (special defensive ability, 10-180), and Speed (speed, 5-180). 

These stats range from a minimum of 1 (HP) or 5 (Speed) to a maximum of 255 (HP) or 180 (other stats), with higher values indicating greater strength, defence, or speed.
