Pokemon BDSP Nature Guide

Each Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl has a distinctive stat that it resonates with the most. In turn, knowing the right nature will maximize that Pokemon's abilities. In this Pokemon BDSP Nature guide, we will overlook the importance of nature and everything there is to know about it.

Pokémon BDSP Nature

Each Pokemon has a specific nature which not only allows us to enrich the character of the Pokemon, but also its purpose through its statistics. The nature of a Pokemon affects the growth of a Pokemon's stats.

In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, we have Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense as stats that are affected by the nature of Pokemon.

Each Nature will target specific stats that match it by increasing the growth of one and decreasing the statistic of the other by 10% respectively.

Here is a table that will help you determine which nature affects which statistic:

Note that Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious are neutral natures. This means that a Pokemon with these natures will experience a balanced increase and decrease in their stats.

But how do you go about checking the nature of your Pokemon in the first place?

How to check the nature of a Pokemon

Simply, open the main menu by pressing X. Select Pokemon where you will be sent to your Pokemon party screen. Select the Pokemon whose nature you want to check, then hit Summary.

From there, simply go to the Trainer Memo tab from the top where its nature will be listed.

How can you determine which nature is best for which Pokemon? Just see if your Pokemon is a physical attacker or a special attacker.

The best natures in Pokemon BDSP

Check your Pokemon's move set. He will already have a series of moves that will give you an idea of ​​what kind of attacker he is.

You can always check online if its evolution will have an impact on its moveset, but it isn't.

Moving forward, if your Pokemon's moves are mostly physical, then it's best to choose a nature that increases its attack status. While if your Pokemon is a Special Attacker, look for a Nature that increases Special Attack indefinitely.

For example, for a combat-type Pokemon, Adamant would be the perfect nature for it as it increases Attack and decreases Special Attack. On the other hand, Modest is best for Psychic-type Pokemon who are usually special attackers.

Another visual queue you can look for are the symbols next to a Pokemon's move. On the summary page, jump to the page where your Pokemon's move set is displayed.

Look for an explosion or an explosion-like symbol as it indicates a physical attack. While a 3-ring such as a ripple denotes a Special Attack.

We talked about the best nature for your Pokemon, so now let's move on to the Poffin!

Effectiveness of Poffin and berries on nature

We are all picky with our food. Just like us, our little friends have a preference when it comes to the flavor of a berry. But this preference plays a technical role in the game.

If a Pokemon likes a Berry, it will restore HP to consumption, but if it doesn't like it, the Pokemon will get confused.

Following that concept of likes and dislikes, the effectiveness of a Poffin works in a similar way. A Pokemon's nature has a huge impact on how a Poffin will affect them.

If your Pokemon likes the flavor, the conditions attached to that Poffin will be significantly increased. If he doesn't like it, the condition linked to that Poffin will increase rather slowly and not by much.

A table is written below that will help you connect each Poffin with a specific nature through liked and unwelcome flavor:
