Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The Pidgey I caught in the game has way weaker stats than the weakest DV Pidgey I can find in the calculator with the same lvl.
I caught one and have it lvl 12, but it has stats compared to a lvl 8 on the calc. Why does the calc make it stronger?
