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...
