The Natures of Pokemon: What they mean.

[Desert_Rose]

I don't know if anyone has done this, but these are all the natures of pokemon and what they mean. For instance, some pokemon prefer to attack, some perfer to use defensive or supportive moves, and some change completely when their health goes into the red. I know that this info. will be very helpful to people who are at the Battle Palace at the Battle Frontier in Emerald.

**Key: ++ (favorite), + (really likes), = (sort of likes), - (dislikes), -- (hates!!).**

|_Nature_|_Attack_|_Defense_|_Support_|_Change_|

Sassy________++_________--_________--_______Support

I really hope this helps somebody out. I'm also going to post later on whether a move is an attack, defense, or support move.

Moving to the FAQ section...it would be SO great to have an entire sub-forum about the BF. ;_;

 

[Expert Evan]

I think Volteon posted a percentage of what attacks each nature prefers when their both high or low in health, somewhere in the BF help topic...

Thanks PikaPikaChu, as this particular guide was most helpful when making a team to get gold in battle palace. I had a naive starmie with recover (was actually breeding for a modest at the time), a naughty metagross with double team (bred with naughty ditto with flawless attack/speed), and a bold blissey that would finish off suicune with a seismic toss.
