Ash and Co. pokemon nature and special ability

Well-Known Member
I don't know if the anime really follows the special-ability and pokmon nature strictly or not, but I would love to know what you people think about the pokemon owned by Ash and Co. I know they are aware of the special ability because its mentioned every now and then....but I am really not sure if they strongly follow the "nature" guide and how att/def/sp.att/sp.def etc. depends on it. I'll list the sp. ability and natures(of what I think) of ash's present team for now-

Pikachu-static--jolly
Turtwig-overgrow--serious
Buizel-swift swim--rash
Chimchar-blaze--timid
Gliscor-sand veil/hyper-cutter (IMO ash's gliscor has hyper-cutter whereas Paul's one got sand-veil)--lax
Staravia-intimidate--brave

Plus...We might safely assume that Ambipom is more of a "technician" than a "pick-upper" since it has not picked-up anything so far...

How about Ash's hat??but who knows...


so,my opinion:

Pikachu-static-Modest
Turtwig-overgrow-Serious
Buizel-Swift swim-Brave/Bold/Adamant
Chimchar-blaze-Naive/Timid
Gliscor-sand veil[it got intimidated & coudn't attack]-quirky/lax/naive
Staravia-intimidate-maybe brave but it's hard to tell...

Rev up those fryers
I don't think the anime has natures, but I thought this was worth mentioning:

Bulbapedia said:
Croagunk has been shown to have his own pace for things like eating, attacking, or following Brock. Similar to Ash's Treecko, he is also a bit of a loner, preferring to sit alone when eating or just resting. In An Angry Combeenation, he didn't like the sweet taste of honey, which may imply his nature is brave, relaxed, quiet or sassy. This makes sense, considering a nature which dislikes sweet flavors has a lowered amount of speed.

burning it down
I think Gliscor is a Naive nature and I think Ash's Cyndaquil was a Timid nature.

Actually, I don't think Pokemon are restricted to one special ability in the anime. Gliscor most likely has both Hyper Cutter and Sand Veil, and the other Pokemon which have two abilities also possess both too, only they are activated under different circumstances.

Well unlike the game I'm pretty sure the nature of a pokemon can change in the anime


I like what I hear here......

As for Natures - there's no need for them. The thing equivalent of Natures in games... is probably the Pokémon's personality. Example: Pachirisu being hyper at times indicates its speed is higher than normal.

I'm not really sure about their natures and abilities although I am 99.5% sure that Pachirisu has RunAway. It loves to run away,lol. i'm 100% sure that Pochama has torrent (Duh!).

Not sure about natures in the anime, but they do use abilities. Pikachu has definately used static before.

thse are the only ones that have been confirmed on ashes team
pikachu static
chimchar blaze
buizel swift swim ( maybe )
 

~-Overheat-~

Static for Pikachu and Blaze for Chimchar has been confirmed. Buizel could well have Swift Swim. Turtwig is obvious and Gliscor...could go either way. Sand Veil imo

With Ash's team

Pikachu- Hasty- Static ( It's pretty dang fast, and it does tend to lose its cool like ash )

Staravia -Calm- None ( Just seems like Ash's calmest Pokemon )

Turtwig- Jolly - Overgrow ( I say this because of the Speed Factor and the fact it's always happy )

Chimchar- Docile - Blaze( It's a peaceful little monkey, with the exception of DP 81 )

Buizel - Brave-Swift Swim ( Duh )

Gliscor - Quirky- Sand Veil ( Again self-explanitory )

I think pikachu is more of a rash nature,
buizel is most likely a lonely nature due to his "loner" thing going on like ash's treeko.
Grotle is more adamant because once he refused to dodge an attack or Jolly since he never seems discouraged
chimchar might be jolly since he seems happy now that hes with ash, or carefull, because he was concious of what he does(but this is most likely due to paul being so harsh)
Gliscor is most likely docile because it likes when ash gives it attention
staraptor hardly had much screne time so imma guess about mild. altho he could be brave or bold since he obviously likes to fight.

I know imma few months late on this but I couldnt resist :p

For Ash's team I would say: -
Pikachu - Static Ability and Loyal Nature.
Staraptor - Intimidate Ability and Brave Nature.
Grotle - Overgrow Ability and Bold Nature.
Monferno - Blaze Ability and Jolly Nature.
Buizel - Swift Swim Ability and Cool Nature.
Gliscor - Hyper Cutter Ability and Timid Nature.
