All Pokémon Natures


Pokémon Natures

Nature is a characteristic that determine a Pokémon's individual attributes and can affect its stats. Each Pokémon has a Nature that is determined when it is generated, and there are 25 different Natures in total. Each Nature modifies a Pokémon's stats by either increasing one stat by 10% while decreasing another stat by 10% or having no effect.

Understanding Natures is an important part of building a competitive Pokémon team, as choosing the right Nature for each Pokémon can greatly impact its performance in battle.
