Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Speed.

Sp. Atk and Speed share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Mega Evolution adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (135) is 60 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 98% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Abilities

  • Intimidate Lowers opponents' Attack one stage upon entering battle.
