'''Natures''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性格|せいかく}}''' ''nature'') are a mechanic that influences how a Pokémon's [[Statistic|stats]] grow. They were introduced in [[Generation III]].

'''Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性格|せいかく}}''' ''nature'') is a trait that each individual Pokémon has which influences how their [[Statistic|stats]] grow and determines their [[flavor]] preferences. The mechanic was introduced in [[Generation III]].


A Pokémon's Nature is displayed on the Pokémon's summary screen. From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, the stats affected by a Pokémon's Nature are highlighted on their summary screens: the increased stat is notated in red text and the decreased stat is notated in blue text.
A Pokémon's Nature is displayed on the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen. From {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} onward, the stats affected by a Pokémon's Nature are highlighted on their summary screens: the increased stat is notated in red text and the decreased stat is notated in blue text.


==Mechanics==

A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the growth rate of two of its stats, ultimately increasing one of its non-{{stat|HP}} stats ({{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, or {{stat|Speed}}) by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Natures also determine the Pokémon's favorite [[flavor]] and its disliked flavor: Each stat is associated with a flavor, and each Pokémon's favorite flavor is the one associated with the stat increased by its Nature, while it dislikes the flavor associated with the decreased stat. For example, since the Lonely Nature increases a Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} stat (which is associated with the Spicy flavor) and decreases its {{stat|Defense}} stat (which is associated with the Sour flavor), a Pokémon with a Lonely Nature has Spicy as its favorite flavor and dislikes Sour flavors.
A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the value of two of its [[Statistic|stats]], ultimately increasing one of its non-{{stat|HP}} stats ({{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, or {{stat|Speed}}) by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the stats increased or decreased by a Pokémon's Nature have (respectively) a red or blue highlight on a Pokémon's summary screen.


A Pokémon's Nature is determined when it is generated by the game: when it is obtained as an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Pokémon Day Care]] (by the player in Generation III—except in {{game|Emerald}}—and Generation V, or by the Day-Care Man in Emerald and Generation IV), when it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, or when it is given to the {{player}} by a [[non-player character]]. In Generations III and IV, Nature is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. In later games, it is stored in an unrelated variable.
Natures also determine the Pokémon's favorite [[flavor]] and its disliked flavor: each stat is associated with a flavor, and each Pokémon's favorite flavor is the one associated with the stat increased by its Nature, while it dislikes the flavor associated with the decreased stat. For example, since the Lonely Nature increases a Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} stat (which is associated with the Spicy flavor) and decreases its {{stat|Defense}} stat (which is associated with the Sour flavor), a Pokémon with a Lonely Nature has Spicy as its favorite flavor and dislikes Sour flavors.


Every Nature represents one of the 25 unique possible combinations of stat increase and decrease; thus, there are five Natures that have no effect on the Pokémon's stat growth as they technically increase and decrease the same stat (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious).

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the stats increased or decreased by a Pokémon's Nature have (respectively) a red or blue highlight on a Pokémon's summary screen.
In [[Generation VIII]], [[mint]]s were introduced. When used on a Pokémon, these items change the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used. However, the Pokémon's actual Nature stays the same, so other traits determined by Nature, such as a Pokémon's flavor preferences or a {{p|Toxel}}'s [[evolution]], are unchanged. Mints also do not change which Nature is passed down using an [[Everstone]].
 
==Determination==
{{incomplete|section|needs=When a bred Pokémon's Nature is determined in the Gen VI+ games, when a roaming Pokémon's nature is determined}}
A Pokémon's Nature is determined when it is generated by the game: when it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, when it is obtained as an {{pkmn|Egg}}, or when it is given to the {{player}} by a [[non-player character]]. In the [[Generation III]] games (except {{game|Emerald}}) and the [[Generation V]] games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the player receives the Egg from the Day-Care Man; in Pokémon Emerald and the Generation IV games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the Day-Care Man obtains the Egg. A Pokémon's nature cannot be changed once generated.
 
In Generations III and IV, Nature is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. From Generation V onward, it is stored in an unrelated variable.
 
A Pokémon transported to [[Pokémon Bank]] from a [[Virtual Console]] [[core series]] game has its nature set upon being transported. Its Nature is the Nature with the index number that corresponds to the Pokémon's total [[experience]] in Generation I and II {{wp|modulo}} 25 (the Pokémon's experience is then reset to the minimum amount of experience required for its current level).
 
===Breeding===
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that holds an [[Everstone]] has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its [[Pokémon breeding|offspring]]. Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature by holding an Everstone. From {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} onward, a Pokémon holding an Everstone will always pass its Nature to its offspring.
 
In [[Generation IV]], the Everstone only applies this effect if both Pokémon have the same [[language of origin]]. If they do not, the [[Masuda method]] applies instead to attempt to make the Pokémon {{Shiny}}, thereby unsetting the Nature that had previously been set. From [[Generation V]] onward, Nature is independent of the personality value and so both the Everstone and Masuda method can apply at once.
 
In games where either parent can pass down their Nature, if both Pokémon hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their Nature to the offspring.
 
===In the wild===
====Hoenn Safari Zone====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the {{Safari|Hoenn}}. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, all wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass]] and [[water tile]]s up to five steps away from the feeder will have a Nature such that, if an identical Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred [[flavor]] dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.
 
====Synchronize====
=====Generations III-V=====
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}} is in the first slot in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]) when a [[wild Pokémon]] is encountered, there is a 50% chance that the game will force it to have the same Nature as the Pokémon in the first slot. (Otherwise, the Nature is chosen at random, so the Pokémon still has a 1 in 25 chance of having the same Nature as the lead Pokémon.) This does not apply to [[roaming Pokémon]], Pokémon in the [[Pokéwalker]], or Pokémon in the [[Entree Forest]]. In Emerald, it also does not apply to stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Regirock}} or {{p|Rayquaza}}).
 
=====Generation VI=====
From {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) that are in the {{egg3|No Eggs Discovered}} will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability.
 
=====Generation VII=====
From {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} onward, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] and {{pkmn|Egg}}s) will always have the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability regardless of [[Egg Group]].
 
=====Generation VIII=====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, wild Pokémon are now guaranteed to have the same Nature as the leading Pokémon.
 
====Madam Celadon====
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can pay Madam Celadon in the {{ci|Celadon}} [[Pokémon Center]] {{pdollar}}10,000 to force all Pokémon encountered in the wild (including in the [[GO Park|GO Park complex]] and Pokémon the player must defeat in a {{pkmn|battle}}) or received as a gift (including revived [[fossil]]s, but not [[in-game trade]]s or Mystery Gift) to have a specific Nature until midnight. Madam Celadon has the player select two flowers whose colors each represent a [[statistic|stat]]:
 
* Red for Attack
* Yellow for Defense
* Blue for Special Attack
* Green for Special Defense
* Pink for Speed
 
The first flower the player chooses determines the stat the Nature increases, and the second flower determines the stat it decreases. While the effect does last for the rest of the day, the player can change the Nature at any time by paying Madam Celadon again. Due to the lack of breeding and Abilities, this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

==Other applications==
==Other applications==
===Breeding===
===Evolutions===
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that holds an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}} has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its [[Pokémon breeding|offspring]] when at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature by holding an Everstone. Starting in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, the Everstone's effect was increased to 100% effectiveness.
{{p|Toxel}} evolves by level up into {{p|Toxtricity}} at level 30. Whether Toxel evolves into the [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Amped Form]] or [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Toxtricity|Low Key Form]] upon evolution is determined by its base Nature, and is unaffected by [[Mint]]s.


In [[Generation IV]], parents would only be able to properly pass down their Nature when holding an Everstone if both Pokémon came from games of the same language. If they did not, the [[Masuda method]] would activate and regenerate the personality value to attempt to make the Pokémon {{Shiny}}, thereby unsetting the Nature that had previously been set. In later generations, this was not a problem since Nature was separated from the personality value.

{| style="text-align:center; {{roundy|15px}} border:3px solid #bbbbe8; background:#a0a0c4; margin:auto" cellspacing="2"
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are Pokéblock feeders throughout the {{Safari|Hoenn}}. If a Pokéblock is placed in a feeder, all wild Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass|grass patches]] and [[water tile]]s up to five steps away from the feeder will have a Nature such that, if an identical Pokéblock were thrown at it, the Pokémon would be enthralled (i.e. its preferred [[flavor]] dominates its disliked flavor in the Pokéblock); the feeder has no effect if no such Nature exists. Only one Pokéblock may occupy a feeder, and the feeder's effect disappears after 100 steps are taken.

From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}} is leading the [[party]] (even if fainted), any [[wild Pokémon]] encountered has a 50% chance of having the same Nature as the Pokémon with this Ability. Starting in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is leading the party, [[gift Pokémon]] (except Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]]) in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} will always have the same Nature.

Synchronize does not affect the Nature of [[roaming Pokémon]], Pokémon revived from [[Fossil]]s, or Pokémon in the [[Entree Forest]]. In Emerald, it does not affect the Nature of stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Regirock}} or {{p|Rayquaza}}). It also does not apply in the [[Pokéwalker]].

All Natures have a set ratio of Attack, Defense, and Support moves that Pokémon with that Nature will prefer to use. These ratios may change when the Pokémon's {{stat|HP}} falls below 50%. During battle, a Pokémon will select a category in which it wants to attack and then select a random attack from its moveset that fits that category; if no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power" and skip its turn.

===Purification===
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a Pokémon's Nature affects the effectiveness of different [[purification]] methods. An action that greatly lowers the [[Heart Gauge]] of one [[Shadow Pokémon]] might do very little for another one based on their respective Natures.

A few Natures appear in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], whenever the player finishes their personality test. These Natures determine which Pokémon the player will transform into.

{{incomplete|section|Nature quiz results in RTDX}}
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}}, the personality quizzes at the beginning of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] assign the player a nature from the core series which, along with their selected [[gender]], determines what Pokémon the player turns into.
A similar quiz is also present in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, but the Pokémon are not associated with main series natures. As well, the player is allowed to select their own Pokémon afterwards if they do not like the Pokémon determined for them.
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], the nature quiz returns, additionally allowing the player to select their own Pokémon again.
Natures in these games only influence the player's Pokémon result, and have no impact on stats.

===Pokémon Sleep===
In {{g|Sleep}}, Natures determine the following five attributes of helper Pokémon: speed of help (the time it takes for the Pokémon to help gather {{Berries}}), energy recovery (how much of the Pokémon's energy is recovered after a sleep session), EXP gains (how much EXP is gained by the Pokémon after sleep research, and through giving the Pokémon Candy and Dream Shards), ingredient finding (how often the Pokémon will find ingredients), and main skill chance (how often the Pokémon's main skill will trigger).

==In the anime==
[[File:Nidothing Nature.png|thumb|250px|[[Dot|Nidothing]] and {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} describing Natures in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Natures were first mentioned in ''[[SM041|Mounting an Electrifying Charge!]]'', where it was revealed that [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] had a Mild Nature. In addition, a young man named [[Horacio]] revealed that his {{Shiny}} {{TP|Horacio|Charjabug}} had a Timid Nature, which he believed to be perfect for the [[Charjabug race]]. However, these references to Natures were removed in the [[dub]].
In ''[[HZ009|Welcome to Paldea!]]'', [[Dot|Nidothing]] made a video about Pokémon Natures.
{{-}}
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Since the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, the Natures of each [[Pokédex holder]]'s Pokémon have been visible on their bios.
In addition, {{adv|Ruby}} has a talent of being able to tell a Pokémon's Nature just by observing its [[move]]s and body language, allowing him to choose the correct [[Pokéblock]] [[flavor]] for them.
==Trivia==
* In {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond, and Pearl}}, the animation speed of the Pokémon in dorsal form when it comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] is determined by its Nature. There are three animation speeds for the Pokémon sprite: slow, medium, and fast.
** The animation speed is slow when the Pokémon's Nature is Bashful, Careful, Gentle, Lonely, Mild, Modest, Quiet, or Timid.
** The animation speed is medium when the Pokémon's Nature is Bold, Calm, Docile, Lax, Quirky, Rash, Relaxed, Sassy, or Serious.
** The animation speed is fast when the Pokémon's Nature is Adamant, Brave, Hardy, Hasty, Impish, Jolly, Naive, or Naughty.
* Nature names in Western languages have a maximum of seven characters, while in Japanese and Korean, they have a maximum of five.
