In games where either parent can pass down their Nature, if both Pokémon hold an Everstone, each parent has an equal chance of passing down their Nature to the offspring. From Generation V onward, Nature is independent of the personality value and so both the Everstone and Masuda method can apply at once. If they do not, the Masuda method applies instead to attempt to make the Pokémon Shiny, thereby unsetting the Nature that had previously been set. In Generation IV, the Everstone only applies this effect if both Pokémon have the same language of origin. From Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 onward, a Pokémon holding an Everstone will always pass its Nature to its offspring. Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature by holding an Everstone. Its Nature is the Nature with the index number that corresponds to the Pokémon's total experience in Generation I and II modulo 25 (the Pokémon's experience is then reset to the minimum amount of experience required for its current level).įrom Pokémon Emerald onward, a Ditto or a female Pokémon that holds an Everstone has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its offspring.

From Generation V onward, it is stored in an unrelated variable.Ī Pokémon transported to Pokémon Bank from a Virtual Console core series game has its nature set upon being transported. In Generations III and IV, Nature is determined by the Pokémon's personality value. A Pokémon's nature cannot be changed once generated. In the Generation III games (except Pokémon Emerald) and the Generation V games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the player receives the Egg from the Day-Care Man in Pokémon Emerald and the Generation IV games, a Pokémon's Nature is determined when the Day-Care Man obtains the Egg. Reason: When a bred Pokémon's Nature is determined in the Gen VI+ games, when a roaming Pokémon's nature is determinedĪ Pokémon's Nature is determined when it is generated by the game: when it is encountered in the wild, when it is obtained as an Egg, or when it is given to the player by a non-player character.

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Mints also do not change which Nature is passed down using an Everstone. However, other traits determined by Nature, such as a Pokémon's flavor preferences or a Toxel's evolution, are unchanged. When used on a Pokémon, these items change the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, mints were introduced. For example, since the Lonely Nature increases a Pokémon's Attack stat (which is associated with the Spicy flavor) and decreases its Defense stat (which is associated with the Sour flavor), a Pokémon with a Lonely Nature has Spicy as its favorite flavor and dislikes Sour flavors.Įvery 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 as they technically increase and decrease the same stat (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious). Natures also determine the Pokémon's favorite flavor and its disliked flavor: Each stat is associated with a flavor, and each Pokémon's favorite flavor is the one associated with the stat increased by its Nature, while it dislikes the flavor associated with the decreased stat. Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the stats increased or decreased by a Pokémon's Nature have (respectively) a red or blue highlight on a Pokémon's summary screen.
