A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the growth rate of two of its stats, ultimately increasing one of its stats 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 the flavor associated with the stat that the Nature increases will be the Pokémon's favorite. The opposite also holds true. 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), the Pokémon's favorite flavor will be Spicy and it will dislike Sour flavors. | A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the growth rate of two of its stats, ultimately increasing one of its stats by 10% and decreasing another by 10%.

In Generations III and IV, Nature is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]]. In later games, it is stored in an unrelated variable. | ||
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 (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky and Serious). These five neutral Natures are technically Natures that increase and decrease the same stat. | 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 (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky and Serious).
