Aren't ground Pokemon supposed to be slow?

Question

I recall hearing in one of the Pokemon games (maybe BW) my avatar was told that ground Pokemon were pretty slow, but Clays Exadrill outspeeds several of my Pokemon and onix outsped one of Pokemon in a random battle the other day (I unfortunately do not remember the Pokemon I used, but it wasn't a slow Pokemon)

Answer 1

He probably meant that Ground Pokemon are generally slow. Ground Pokemon have an overall Speed stat average of 57.49, which is slower than many Pokemon.
