Pokemon Mind of Sword and Shield | How to change nature

Traditionally, Pokemon games take on a whole new life after completing the main story. In Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield this is no different, with one of the final game opportunities presented to players being the introduction of Mints. These sweet treats aren't just for freshening a Pokemon's breath, as they can be used to change their nature and affect their stats. Here's everything you need to know about how ticks work and where to find them.

How to change Pokemon Nature with Mints into Sword and Shield

After players have beaten Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield, they will have access to the Battle Tower, where challenging attacks can be undertaken to help climb the ranks and claim promotions. Along the way, you'll earn a currency called Battle Points (BP) which can be used to purchase Natural Minds from one of the Battle Tower vendors.
