This is an amalgamation of all the Speed benchmarks relevant to the 1v1 metagame, organized from slowest to fastest. Speeds defaulted as the highest Speed possible given the Pokemon's most common nature(s), with slow Speed (0 EVs) only being included if a large amount of spreads (about 20% or more) run 0 Speed EVs. This is to show the fastest possible Speed a Pokemon will realistically attain, so that one may teambuild as safely as possible. Speed creeping for a 'standard set' is not reliable in the long run, and 'optimal' sets will change constantly, and your opponent can often shift their EVs to suddenly beat you. Relevant benchmarks needed to outspeed certain Speed tiers / Pokemon after a boost are also included. For reference, this is the key used for the 1v1 Speed Tiers (based on Rosa's speed tier key):
Key
Min Speed = 0 IVs + Reducing Nature + 0 EVs
-Nature = Reducing Nature + 0 EVs
Bulky = 0 EVs
Fast = 252 EVs
Max Speed = Increasing Nature + 252 EVs
Any instance of a Speed increasing item, ability, or relevant element will also be mentioned.
Bolded text will be used to indicate particularly important benchmarks.
Italicised text will be used to indicate this exists, but it is not real / isn't relevant to creep / it can run faster but not enough to warrant mentioning the next step up tldr dont creep it
