Dear BIG ASHLEY, Opchurtle100, and caelT8,
I would like to preface this email to thank you for participating in the survey "Worst Pokemon Stat (Silly Smog Awards can't remember anything)". Your contribution to this survey has most likely been in goodwill, however misplaced this goodwill is.
However, I would like to ask you why in a billion years you decided that the worst Pokemon stat is Speed. Speed is an essential element to the competitive metagame. While I am in no way actually qualifed to say this (see lack of badges), Speed in the Pokemon metagame defines who goes first, and generally is the factor that can decide games (See False Swipe Gaming).
Not only this, however, I realise that you may have mistaken this thread for the Best Stat thread. Don't worry! We all make mistakes! That's a part of being human, precisely like myself, who trusted you all to not pick Speed.
As a result, you poor misguided souls, I recommend you change your vote to a more appropriate option (See Change Vote Button). I hope we are to be on good terms after this email.
Best wishes,
BestDatrix

When looking at the top 10 pokemon in usage for OU last month, I looked at their highest stat to determine which stat is objectively the best. 4 pokemon had attack or special attack as their highest stats which make them the best stats. 2 had defense as their highest stat which means this stat is viable but on the fringe stat. 1 had special defense or speed as their highest stat which means these stats are pretty bad. 0 had HP as their highest stat which means that HP is completely unviable as a stat and should be removed from the game.

Speed alone does not win battles

Special Defense, there really is no explanation on why a Pokemon would have high Special Defense. You can look at a Pokemon and be like 'yeah this mother fucker has high Attack, it literally has four bulging muscle arms' or 'obviously this fish that is shaped like a torpedo swims really fast'. But Special Defense?
