Sure, here’s the rewritten version:

Alright, so here’s the deal with Pokémon games. You’d think the “best” monsters in the mix are the obvious ones, but sometimes these unexpected little guys sneak up and steal the spotlight, you know? Not so much with Pokémon GO, though. Niantic went and streamlined the whole combat thing, so it’s kinda like “poof!”—a bunch of stuff vanished. Moves, abilities, items, stats. You name it. Poor Accelgor and its friends just got, I dunno, nerfed? Yeah, let’s go with that. But hey, could Pokémon GO tweak things to help these little underdogs? Maybe. Maybe not.
Speed. That’s the thing, right? Some critters live and breathe by their Speed stat. Helps ’em hit first and all that jazz. But then again, Speed is like a drum solo without the drums—nothing without backup. You need killer moves, strong attacks; otherwise, what’s the point? In the world of Pokémon GO, poor Accelgor lost its speed edge—base Speed was 145! That’s high, like skyscraper high for Pokémon standards. But nope, lost that in translation. Character development appeals? Possibly?
So, how could Pokémon GO embrace the Speed stat? Gimme a sec here. I guess if Speed affected how fast those Charged Moves power up or shaved some cooldown time off moves, Accelgor and its pals might catch a break. Make it about agility, man—zipping around, charging up like they’re mainlining energy drinks. Monster Red Bull, you feel me?
Anyway, toss Speed in more places. Not just in battles, ya know? Like, say Speed helps you hatch Eggs faster. Yeah. Or it trims the steps you need to walk to earn Buddy Candy ’cause your Pokémon’s as fast as a kid racing to an ice cream truck. That’d be something, right?
Can’t forget Speed Forme Deoxys—oh, talk about tearing up the tracks. Absolute speed king, no question. If Speed’s on the table, this guy’s well… he’s already chillin’ at the party with snacks.
Thing is, adding Speed into Pokémon GO, it’s not gonna be a cakewalk. Might even mess with battle balance completely. But really, Pokémon GO’s all about those big moves—Mega Evolutions, Dynamax sagas, you name it. Adding a fourth stat like Speed? Eh, who’s to say that isn’t the next big leap?
Speed isn’t front and center now, probably down the designer pipeline—or not. Still, it could be the breath of fresh air those lesser-seen Pokémon need. Go on, Niantic, surprise us. I’ll be here, watching Speedsters go whoosh. Or maybe not. The unpredictability, that’s half the fun, yeah?
