Nature

From Generations

Nature and Mint section in the PokeChecker highlighted in red.

Nature is a game mechanic that influences how a Pokemon's stats grow.

The Nature of a Pokemon is displayed in its Summary and its effect is highlighted in the Stat menu:

- Red is used along with an upward arrow to hightlight the increased stat, that receives a 10% increase.
- Blue is used along with a downward arrow to hightlight the decreased stat, that receives a 10% reduction.

There are five Natures: Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious, that have no effect on the Pokemon's stat growth, as they technically increase and decrease the same stat.

A Nature can be overwritten by the use of a Px64 Red Mint.pngMint, causing the Stat menu to update accordingly; however this change does not affect moves, abilities, evolutions or breeding, as they will only take into consideration the original nature of the Pokemon.
