Why do some Pokemon's stats decrease when evolving?

Question

Why some Pokemons when are evolving, they don't only increase some statics but they descrease too, why?

Answer 1

This is just how it is, they make sense in all cases. For example, Shedinja greatly decreases HP, all the way to one! This is because if it had any more HP, that would be unfair with its ability, Wonder Gaurd. Scizor decreases Speed because it is a Steel type, and is much more bulky than Scyther and can't move as fast.

Daily Events first. Going to do the daily drawing corner until I get first prize. One time it took 15 MINUTES to get it. After that, I am going to be facing the Elite 4 again, not Red though, that is such a long walk. I'm trying to train my Sceptile, as it is 20 levels below everybody else (I can't wait for False Swipe, that will really help catch the remaining legendaries in my game.)

Ah, I just got the grisseous orb, and caught azelf and uxie.
