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

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

Which nature to choose

Attack (92) and Sp. Atk (92) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

• Lonely +Atk · −Def The boost goes into the stronger offensive stat and the drop into a defense that does not decide anything anyway.

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