Natures Guide

Here's a list of natures in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon. Read this guide to understand how natures work, how it affects stats, and how to nature farm.

Stat Changes Due to Natures

↑ is a 1.1x increase、↓ is a 0.9x decrease

Randomly Determined Natures

Natures exist for each individual Pokemon. They are determined randomly, so it's highly possible for the same Pokemon to have completely different natures. It's even possible for a brave-looking Pokemon to have a "Timid" nature.

Effects of Natures

Natures affect a Pokemon's final stat values. For example, a Pokemon with a "Timid" nature will have its Attack stat decreased to 0.9x its original value, but its Speed stat will be increased to 1.1x.

Natures Cannot Be Changed

A Pokemon's nature is determined the moment it is born. Furthermore, there are no items in the game to change natures, so a Pokemon's nature will not change no matter how it is raised.

Basically, Boost Its Best Stats

Natures are generally used to boost a Pokemon's best stats. For example, if a Pokemon has a high base Attack stat, you would choose an Adamant nature, even if it lowers its Special Attack.

Lower Speed to Fight Advantageously

When building a party based on Trick Room, intentionally choose a nature that lowers Speed. This will allow you to fight advantageously under Trick Room.

What is Trick Room?

Trick Room is a mover where the user creates a bizarre area in which slower Pokemon get to move first for five turns.

What is Nature Farming?

It's the process of breeding or catching Pokemon to get one with a nature that boosts its desired stats. The method differs for farming wild Pokemon versus Pokemon from Eggs.

Nature Farming for Wild Pokemon

If you want to farm for a specific nature for wild Pokemon, use a Pokemon with the Synchronize Ability (like Ralts).

50% Chance of Matching Nature

If a Pokemon with the Synchronize Ability is in the lead of your party, there's a 50% chance that wild Pokemon will have the same nature as the Synchronize Pokemon. Lead with a Synchronize Pokemon of the desired nature to farm.

Nature Farming for Egg Pokemon

To pass down a desired nature, have a Pokemon with that nature hold an "Everstone" and produce an Egg. The nature of the Pokemon holding the Everstone will then be inherited by the Egg Pokemon.

Either ♂ or ♀ Can Hold It

The Everstone will pass down the nature regardless of whether the ♂ or ♀ Pokemon holds it. Have the Pokemon whose nature you want to pass down hold it.
