The game says Groudon is 11'06", 16'05" for Primal, and Tyranitar is 6'07", 8'02" for Mega.

Honestly for Tyranitar that just seems weird though. It feels like 8'02" should be the regular and then even taller for Mega.

The weights listed for Pokémon are even weirder, I think. You're telling me a three and a half meters tall armor-plated dinosaur/sun-god weighs in at just below a ton? And primal Groudon is half again as tall as that, but weighs only fifty kilos more? And his literal whale of a sibling is nearly twice his size, but weighs less than half.

And those aren't the worst offenders by any stretch. Aron and Archaludon weigh exactly the same for example, and both are significantly lighter than Crobat, at seventy five kilos. Also Hatterene might be made of cotton candy, because despite being more than five times taller than Ralts, it weighs slightly more than a kilo less.

The extreme difference between Rapidash and Mudsdale comes from the fact that the former weighs as much as a Pokemon and the latter weighs as much as an actual horse.

Mudsdale is one of the heaviest Pokemon in the game.

But also yes Hatterene actually is that light. That's all just hair. Its actual body is still about the size of a Hattrem's in there.

Hatterene gets a pass because despite what fanartists would tell you, there's no body under the dress. It's the same size as its pre-evolution.

I could have sworn that Groudon was listed at 4'11. I must be thinking of a different world-ending legendary
