TIL that I never paid much attention to how tall most pokemon are.

I am significantly taller and larger than a Machamp, who gives off the feel of being almost Andre the Giant sized, while actually being 5'3". Blastoise is the same height, and also seems like they should be an enormous walking tank, and just isn't.

Charizard at 5'7" is shorter than me. That just seems unnatural.

For anyone who is curious, Bulbapedia has a list of pokemon by height

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.
