What's the Speed drop for paralysis?

Question

Bulbapedia and Serebii say it's 25% but I've seen some places mention 50%.

Answer 1

Paralysis drops your speed to 25% of its original value, so it drops it by 75%. Maybe you got the 50% from the Ability Quick Feet boosting speed by 50% when paralyzed.

Thanks, but I know that Quick Feet boosts by 50% and negates the drop. No wonder my Pokémon seem so much slower than it I thought it should be...

Answer 2

their speed is reduced to 25% of their normal speed. if the Pokemon would happen to have the quick feet ability then it is increased by 50% instead
