(It is not used in-game, and the only name sources I know are Prima guides; Pt guide calls it "personality", while DP has it lowercase and HGSS (which capitalizes Nature) capitalizes it. I see no reason to captalize it unless the BW and B2W2 guides do too)

'''Characteristics''' are a feature in the Pokémon games, introduced in [[Generation IV]]. A Pokémon's characteristic indicates which stat contains a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s highest [[Individual values|IV]]. It is displayed on the Pokémon's profile screen where its [[nature]], date met, place met, and [[flavor|flavor preference]] ({{g|Diamond and Pearl}} and {{g|Platinum}} only) are shown.

{{incomplete|2=Korean romanizations}}
A Pokémon's characteristic is determined by the remainder of its highest IV divided by 5 (known as {{wp|modulo operation}} in programming). Since it is built this way, Pokémon transferred from the {{pkmn|games}} of [[Generation III]] via [[Pal Park]] have a characteristic without their stats being changed.
This is a list of [[characteristic]]s in all languages that the Pokémon games have been translated into.

Note that having a certain characteristic does not necessarily imply that the highest possible value for an IV is present. A Pokémon with an "Alert to sounds" characteristic could have a 6 in Speed (and thus very low IVs across all of its stats since none could be higher than 6) instead of a 31 in Speed.
[[Category:Lists]]
 
[[Category:Pages in other languages]]
==Examples==
A {{p|Mudkip}} has the following IVs:
 
{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|24|18|17|'''29'''|24|27|258.png}}
 
Since its highest IV is 29 in Speed, its characteristic will be "Quick to flee."
 
A {{p|Ditto}} has the following IVs:
 
{{Hidden Power calculation/IV|8|0|0|10|'''17'''|10|132.png}}
 
Since its highest IV is 17 in Special Attack, its characteristic will be "Thoroughly cunning."
 
==Ties==
In the event of a tie in highest IVs, the IV that determines the Pokémon's characteristic is decided in the following manner:
 
Start with the Pokémon's [[personality value]] mod 6. The result is an index number of a stat in this order: HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense. In the event of a tie in IVs, the first IV checked is the IV corresponding to that index number.  If that IV is not part of the tie, the game moves on to the next index number in the aforementioned order. If it goes past 5 (Special Defense), it wraps around back to 0 (HP). When the game finds an IV that is part of the tie, that is the IV that will determine the characteristic displayed.
