What Are Natures and How Do They Affect Pokemon

Natures are part of what makes each Pokemon unique from each other. They are randomly applied to each Pokemon upon receiving or capturing them. Each of the 25 Natures, with the exception of five, will increase one Base Stat by 10% while decreasing another Base Stat by 10%. While viewing your Pokemon's summary of stats, the base stat in red is the boosted stat while stat in blue is the decreased stat.

Since Natures are randomly applied, some people capture a large number of the same Pokemon to get the "right" Nature. For example, Gyarados naturally have a great Attack stat but poor Sp. Attack. stat. So, you'd want a Gyarados with a Nature that lowers its Sp. Attack stat (since it won't be used), and increase a stat that's important - like Attack or Speed.

If you have a Pokemon with the Synchronizeability in the lead of your party, every Pokemon you encounter in the wild will share the same Nature as the lead.

The table below lists each of the 25 Natures with the Base Stats they increase and decrease.

Natures List and Chart

The preferred flavors are only important when using certain HP-restoring berries , like the Figy Berry, which causes confusion to Pokemon that dislike the flavor.

How to Change a Pokemon's Nature

Pokemon Sword and Shield introduce new items called Mints that change your Pokemon's stat growth and stat potential the same way Natures do. You cannot purchase Mints until after you beat Pokemon Sword and Shield. Though Mints don't change your Pokemon's Nature in that Pokemon's flavor text, they still change the rate of the stat growth and that stat's max as if that Pokemon had a different Nature. A Lonely Mint will affect a Pokemon the same way a Lonely Nature would.

For example, giving a Pokemon a Modest Mint will make its Sp. Attack growth high and its Attack growth low, which will be reflected in its summary. Its Sp.Attack stat will from then on be Red to mark its increased growth, and its Attack stat will be Blue to mark its lowered growth, as if its nature were Modest.

However, that Pokemon's original Nature will still be reflected in its flavor text. Giving a Pokemon a Mint will retroactively affect its stats previously affected by its original Nature, as well. So, if a Pokemon's stat was lowered by its previous Nature, it will raise after changing its stats with a Mint. Mints are stored in the Other Items pocket of your Bag.

Mints will not change a Pokemon's Nature for Breeding purposes, either.

How to Get Mints

After beating Pokemon Sword and Shield, Mints can be purchased at the Battle Tower (Wyndon Tower) from the BP Shop on the far left side of the counter. They can be purchased for 50BP each. BP are "Battle Points" earned by battling at the Battle Tower.

The following also affect a Pokemon's stats:

• Individual Values
• Effort Values

The Top 10 A24 Movies | A CineFix Movie List

If there's a logo we love seeing in front of a movie more than most, it's those three, vintage font, RGB animated characters A24. More often than not seeing that logo means you're in for a treat. Just what kind of treatment is anyone's guess, but horror, sci-fi, fantasy, coming of age, and every genre in between, A24 strives for a distinct vibe and an interesting voice, which is why they deserve their own Movie List. So here are our picks for the 10 best A24 films.Whatever genre they dabble in, the distributor turned production company puts its unmistakable mark on their films. They do science fiction films with big ideas and small budgets like Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson, Colin Farrell in The Lobster, or Robert Pattinson and a baby hurtling toward a black hole in High Life. They do every flavor of horror imaginable, from Ti West and his survival horror X to supernatural Giallo throwbacks like In Fabric and existential dread fests like A Ghost Story from David Lowery or The Blackcoat's Daughter. And big-name stars do some of their best work in independent films like Ryan Reynolds in Mississippi Grind, Ethan Hawke in First Reformed, Nicole Kidman in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, or Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse.The point here is, that A24 has an incredible batting average when it comes to tastemaking indie cinema and they've only been around for 10 years.This Movie List was written by Matt Fowler and edited by Kalani Newman.The Picks10 - Debut features - Lady Bird (2017) dir.
