Nature: Difference between revisions

From {{v2|Emerald}} onwards, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female Pokémon that holds an {{evostone|Everstone}} has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its offspring when at the Pokémon daycare. Since {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature with an Everstone. In Generation IV, parents could only pass Natures to their offspring if both Pokémon and the Trainer all come from a game in the same language; however, this is no longer the case as of {{2v2|Black|White}}. Also from Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} is leading the [[party]], there is a 50% chance of encountering a wild Pokémon with the same Nature. Synchronize affects any encounter, including stationary {{pkmn2|legendary|legends}}, but excluding Pokémon that are received from an NPC, such as the {{p|Eevee}} given out by [[Bill]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Pokémon are received in a museum after being resurrected from Fossils, or catching Pokémon during a Stroll in the [[Pokéwalker]] bundled with HeartGold and SoulSilver games.  

Natures also dictate the manner in which Pokémon battle by themselves at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Palace}}, different Natures make the Pokémon use different methods of attacks and change tactics when they are low on health. Also, the five non-increasing/decreasing Natures have different battle styles at the Battle Palace. A man in a house closest to the [[Sunyshore City]] Heritage Site asks to see {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different Natures (Serious, Naive and Quirky), and will give the {{player}} three [[Pokétch]] applications.
