Understanding Natures

Natures modify two stats — increasing one by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Five natures are neutral (Hardy, Docile, Serious, Bashful, Quirky) and leave all stats unmodified.

**Popular Competitive Natures:** - Jolly / Timid: +Spe -SpA / -Atk (for fast physical/special attackers) - Adamant / Modest: +Atk or +SpA -Spe (for slower power-oriented sets) - Bold / Calm: +Def or +SpD -Atk (for defensive Pokémon) - Impish / Careful: +Def or +SpD -SpA (physical walls)
