Base stats

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

Attack and Defense 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 physically: its Attack (135) is 65 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

• Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 84% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
• Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

• Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

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