   The nature of a Pokemon does one of two things: it either raises one stat and lowers another depending on the nature or it does nothing. The nature of a Pokemon will also determine the flavor of food preferred by that specific Pokemon. Hear is a list of all the natures and their effects.

   A nature will usually decrease the maximum value of one stat and raise another by ten percent. there are also 4or5 natures that are neutral. These won’t affect any stat up or down. For a full list of natures try serebii.net.
