Nature

Natures influence how a Pokémon's stats will grow. Natures were introduced in Generation III. Each nature will increase one stat by 10% and decrease another stat by 10%.

See a complete Pokémon nature chart. You can search, filter, and sort this chart.

The stats that can be changed are: Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed.

Natures with No Net Effect

There are five natures (Hardy, Docile, Bashful, Quirky, and Serious) that increase and decrease the same stat by the same amount, and so, net, have no effect on the Pokémon's growth.

Flavors

Natures also determine what flavors a Pokémon likes and dislikes. Each stat is linked to a flavor.

A Pokémon's favorite flavor will be the one associated with the stat increased by its Nature, and its lease favorite flavor will be the one associated with the stat decreased by its Nature.
