Based on the Appraisal text that is displayed when you have an exceptionally large or small Pokémon, it appears that the Pokédex entry is a height/weight reference, giving the average height/weight of that species. [Here](http://pokemongohub.net/pokemon-go-appraisal-chart/) is a chart with all of the Appraisal quotes. Note: These are quotes from Blanche, the leader of Team Mystic: >Phase #3: Pokémon Size Size > > - Your [Pokémon Name] is tinier than any we have on record. Astounding. **XS** > - Your [Pokémon Name] is below average in size. **Small** > - Your [Pokémon Name] is above average in size. **Large** > - The size of your [Pokémon Name] is… colossal. This is indeed exceptional. Fascinating! **XL** Since height/weight have no bearing on a Pokémon's IVs or CP, these don't really mean anything for your Pokémon other than just being a fun fact.
