How to read the nature chart
Every Pokémon has one nature. Twenty of the 25 natures raise one stat by 10 percent and lower a different stat by 10 percent. The five neutral natures, Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Quirky and Serious, raise and lower the same stat, so they change nothing. In the grid, find the stat you want raised in the left column and the stat you can afford to lower along the top; the cell is the nature. You can also use the two menus: choose a raised and a lowered stat and the finder names the nature.
Natures only affect Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. HP is never changed.
How much a nature changes a stat
A nature is applied after every other part of the stat calculation. The raised stat becomes 110 percent of what it would have been and the lowered stat becomes 90 percent, rounded down. A stat that would be 200 becomes 220 with a raising nature and 180 with a lowering nature. Base stats, IVs, EVs and level all come first, so the same nature gives a bigger number to a Pokémon that already has a high stat.
Mints, Synchronize and Everstone
Since Pokémon Sword and Shield, a Mint changes the effect a nature has on a Pokémon’s stats to that of the nature the Mint matches. It does not change the Pokémon’s actual nature, so the nature shown on the summary screen and the Pokémon’s favorite flavor stay the same.
A Pokémon holding an Everstone can pass its nature to its offspring, and since Black 2 and White 2 it always does. The Synchronize ability makes wild Pokémon share the leading Pokémon’s nature. Its exact odds depend on the game: in Generations III to V it was a 50 percent chance, and in Sword and Shield it is guaranteed. Natures inherited through an Everstone are based on the actual nature, not on a Mint’s effect.
Berry flavors
Each nature that raises a stat also gives the Pokémon a favorite flavor, and the lowered stat gives it a disliked flavor. Attack is Spicy, Defense is Sour, Special Attack is Dry, Special Defense is Bitter and Speed is Sweet. Lonely, for example, raises Attack and lowers Defense, so a Lonely Pokémon likes Spicy flavors and dislikes Sour ones. Neutral natures have no flavor preference in the table above.
Common questions
Which natures are neutral?
Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Quirky and Serious. Each one raises and lowers the same stat, so no stat changes.
Is there a nature that raises HP?
No. Natures only change Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed.
Does a Mint change my Pokémon’s nature?
It changes the nature’s effect on stats but not the nature itself, so the displayed nature and the favorite flavor stay the same.
Which nature is best for a fast attacker?
It depends on the Pokémon. A fast physical attacker usually wants a raised Speed or Attack and lowers Special Attack, which gives Jolly (+Speed, −Sp. Atk) or Adamant (+Attack, −Sp. Atk). Use the finder to check any combination.
