YELLOW POKEMON STATS & TYPE BREAKDOWN
Electric at 34% gives Yellow its identity, but 87 species span more types than the color's electric reputation suggests. Gen 1 contributed the biggest wave of yellow additions, and average BST sits at 428.
Two names carry yellow, Electric and Bug. Electric takes the crown, but Bug earns its second the honest way, edging out Psychic just behind it. Bug rarely climbs this high in any color, even though Electric still doubles its count.
