I was just going through the pokedex in the book when I reached Wailord. I took a look at its stats and my eyes moved to the base HP. Do you know what number I saw?... Forty, freaking seven! So, it has 47 health? is that 'legit'? Anyway, I thought to myself that if Wailord had that much hp, Blissey must have even more. So I checked Blissey, and do you know how much Blissey has? 5, period. Even Pangoro has more (7).
Do I gravely misunderstand something? Now my best guess is that it's the pokemon's size that matters. discrimination!
If it is 'legit' then I think everyone should get themselves a Wailord right now.
That's something we discussed earlier. Yes, it's the size that influences HP, good observation. The writers decided a giant rock snake wasn't very threatening if it only has 3 HP (well, that's the main reason why they made that decision).
The downside to having pokemon that big is...well, they're ginormous. And more often than not, very disobedient.
If you didn't notice, Arbok has 11 base HP, and Ekans has 6. A lot of serpentine pokemon have higher than average HP bases. (this also results in a weird situation where Dragonair has more HP than Dragonite...ummm...)
Oh, and if you want a Wailmer, they live in Murkrow Cove, according to the map on page 1 of the game thread.
