A Pokemon’s Nature determines more than what kind of food they like. Every nature in the game increases and decreases two stats by 10 percent. There’s an easy way to keep track of these stat changes as well.
Pokemon Nature Chart
Neutral Naturesinclude Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Serious, and Quirky. Neutral natures increase and decrease the same stat, thus keeping the stat the same by balancing it out. Rather than memorizing the table, there is another way to know what a particular Pokemon’s nature does.

How To Tell What Stats Are Changed
Looking at a Pokemon’s stats in theirSummaryallows players to view which stat increases and decreases. TheRed-coloredstat is being boosted by 10 percent, and theBluecolored stat is being decreased by 10 percent. If all the stats are thesame text color, then the Pokemon is neutral.
Flavors
Pokemon with a specific nature also have favorite flavors. They dislike flavors based on the stat that is increased and decreased. Each stat is tied to a flavor.Increasedstats will mean they prefer the attached flavor, anddecreasedstats will mean they dislike the flavor.
For example, Pokemon with anAdamantnature have increased Attack and lowered Special Attack. That Pokemon will then love Spicy flavors and dislike Dry flavors. Pokemon with neutral natures will not have a preference. This knowledge comes in handy when using particular berries such as theKee Berry.
