Natures of a Pokemon

[Grandwarden]

Hey everybody, this guide will tell you what is nature, how it helps your Pokemon and how to know what nature you should have for a specific Pokemon. So, let's get into this

 

________________________________________________

WHAT IS A NATURE:-

 

Rather than just being a superficial personality, Natures actually affect the growth of a Pokémon. Each nature increases one of its stats by 10% and decreases one by 10% (by the time it reaches level 100). Five natures increase and decrease the same stat and therefore have no effect.

 

In most cases it is preferable to have a nature that decreases either Attack or Special Attack for Pokémon whose strengths are the opposite type of attack. Espeon, for example, favours Special moves, so it's best to use a nature that decreases its Attack since it won't be used.

 

________________________________________________

BERRIES:-

 

A Pokémon's nature also determines the berries it likes and dislikes. Each type of berry is linked to one stat:

 

Attack - Spicy

Defense - Sour

Speed - Sweet

Sp. Attack - Dry

Sp. Defense - Bitter

The berry a Pokémon likes is the corresponding flavour of its raised stat, while the berry it dislikes is the flavour of its lowered stat.

 

For example, a Pokémon of Sassy nature will like Bitter berries (Special Defense is raised) and dislike Sweet berries (Speed is lowered).
