Nature

Revision as of 17:07, 17 October 2006 by Pilaf (talk | contribs)

Natures are the Pokémon analogue of personalities. They either increase a stat by 10% and decrease a stat by 10%, or not affect its stats at all. Note, however, that Natures do not affect experience or DVs. Natures exist only in the Generation III and Generation IV games, and Pokémon can currently have one of over 25 Natures.
