==Battle Style==
Depending on a Pokémon's nature, its battle style changes in the Battle Palace or the Battle Tent of Verdanturf Town. Though this does not affect its battling outside of those areas. Explaining the symbols, the '+' means the Pokémon prefers to do the specified action, while the '-' means that the Pokémon dislikes to do the specified action. This means that the Pokémon would sometimes use the action if it shows a '='. A double symbol for something would mean it greatly likes or dislikes to attack, defend, or use a support move. For instance, a Pokémon with a Hardy Nature would greatly like to attack, strongly dislike to defend, and may use some support moves. Whereas a Pokémon with a Modest Nature would use some attack moves, but be more defensive. It would probably not use any support moves though.
Depending on a Pokémon's nature, its battle style changes in the [[Battle Palace]] or the [[Battle Tent]] of [[Verdanturf Town]]. Though this does not affect its battling outside of those areas.
Changing is also a part of its battle style. If a Pokémon took a decent amount of damage, it would change its battle style in favor of the situation. For a Pokémon with a Quirky Nature, it wouldn't change though. But for a Pokémon with a Lonely Nature, it would change its attack style, most likely changing from (liking) support to (liking) attack moves.


The following table lists each nature and its effect on a Pokémon; it may be rearranged by clicking the boxes next to each column's heading.
All attacks are grouped into three categories: Attack, Defense, and Support.  The following is the list of attacks per category:
* '''Attack''': Any attack not listed under Defense or Support.
* '''Defense''': All moves targeting itself, as well as {{m|Bide}}.  These include Acid Armor, Agility, Amnesia, Aromatherapy, Barrier, Baton Pass, Belly Drum, Bide, Bulk Up, Calm Mind, Camouflage, Charge, Conversion 2, Conversion, Cosmic Power, Defense Curl, Destiny Bond, Detect, Double Team, Dragaon Dance, Enure, Focus Energy, Follow Me, Growth, Grudge, Hail, Harden, Haze, Heal Bell, Helping Hand, Howl, Imprison, Ingrain, Iron Defense, Light Screen, Meditate, Milk Drink, Minimize, Mist, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Mud Sport, Perish Song, Protect, Rain Dance, Recover, Recycle, Reflect, Refresh, Rest, Safeguard, Sandstorm, Sharpen, Slack Off, Softboiled, Splash, Stockpile, Substitute, Sunny Day, Swallow, Swords Dance, Synthesis, Tail Glow, Teleport, Water Sport, Wish, and Withdraw
* '''Support''': All moves that do not deal damage and are not categorized under Defense, as well as {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.  These include Assist, Attract, Block, Charm, Confuse Ray, Cotton Spore, Counter, Curse, Disable, Encore, Fake Tears, FeatherDance, Flash, Flatter, Foresight, Glare, GrassWhistle, Growl, Hypnosis, Kinesis, Leech Seed, Leer, Lock-on, Lovely Kiss, Magic Coat, Mean Look, Memento, Metal Sound, Metronome, Mimic, Mind Reader, Mirror Coat, Mirror Move, Nature Power, Nightmare, Odor Sleuth, Pain Split, Poison Gas, Poisonpowder, Psych Up, Roar, Role Play, Sand-Attack, Scary Face, Screech, Sing, Sketch, Skill Swap, Sleep Powder, Sleep Talk, Smokescreen, Snatch, Spider Web, Spikes, Spite, Spore, String Shot, Stun Spore, Supersonic, Swagger, Sweet Kiss, Sweet Scent, Tail Whip, Taunt, Teeter Dance, Thunder Wave, Tickle, Torment, Toxic, Transform, Trick, Whirlwind, Will-O-Wisp, and Yawn
 
All natures have a set ratio of Attack, Defense, and Support moves; these change when the Pokémon's HP falls below 50%.  This represents the likelihood a particaular category of attack is chosen.  During battle, a random attack from the Pokémon's moveset in the selected category is chosen; if no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power", and will skip its turn.
 
The following table lists each nature and its move type preferences; it may be rearranged by clicking the boxes next to each column's heading.
