Talk:Nature

Any chance someone could include the flavours of PokéBlocks that each nature favours? It's hell trying to figure that out... ~~Ketsuban

Generation IV Natures

I'm deleting the two natures "Friovolous" and "Meticulous"; there has been no word on these two new presumed natures since August 2006 at the latest, and all of the current major Pokémon sites have either not mentioned or denied these two natures' existence. - Ultraflame

I'll delete the generation column because it has no relevance, as no new natures were introduced. - Chosen

Could someone add how Natures affect Purification?

Mostly rewording for clarity...

I reworded and expanded the pre-table description. There wasn't anything particularly horrible about what was there before, but it's more descriptive and more soundly worded now, imo.

Umlaut?

I want to learn why is it "naïve" and not "naive" in this article. --Johans 01:38, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Compatability?

Do natures affect the breeding compatability in the daycare? (ie how much they like each other) Sidnoea 17:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

No. Egg groups, species and OT are the only things that affect breeding. Why? Luna Tiger * the Arc Toraph 17:23, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Personality

what about the other stat influencing thing? you know "Proud of its Power" "Likes to run" all that stuff we need that on here too Happizelpom 20:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

That's on a separate page...--^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Conflicting Nature and Characteristic

I have a Pokémon with a Rash Nature (+Sp Atk, -Sp Def) and "Somewhat Stubborn" Characteristic (+Sp Def). How will this affect the growth of its Sp. Def? --Arima 05:48, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

The characteristic doesn't affect the stats like nature does, it just means that it's highest IV is in the Special Defense stat, and so it isn't really +Sp. Def. Werdnae (talk) 06:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Typo (I think)

is it just me or does it say dv instead of iv on the article look at this: Note that despite these relationships to a Pokémon's development, natures do not affect experience or DVs.) see what I mean? (The snargret guy 17:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC))

IVs can also be considered DVs for determinant values. but everyone calls them IVs so, i changed it to that. -- MAGNEDETH 18:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

thanks (The snargret guy 23:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC))

In HG/SS/Pt

In HG/SS/Pt you can tell what effect the nature has on a Pokemon by looking at its stats. The increasing stat faintly glows red while the decreasing stat faintly glows blue. Can I add this to the article? ~♪ Zaveno _(Talk) ♫ 20:15, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

From the second paragraph:

In HeartGold and SoulSilver the stats increased and decreased by a Pokémon's nature are outlined in red and blue respectively when viewing that Pokémon's Summary Screen.

It's already there. Werdnae (talk) 22:16, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Pokéathlon

Shouldn't we add how Natures effect a Pokémon's Performance? I'll make the table if I have to.--Mr.lol 00:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do. —darklordtrom 01:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Wild Pokémon

Does the nature of a wild Pokémon effect how it will battle? Or are all moves chosen at random? For example, I battled two wild Torkoal in a row. One used Protect as much as possible while the other didn't use it at all. Could this be related to their nature? If this were true, would it be possible to predict how a Pokémon will battle in the Battle Palace by observing how it battles in the wild? FrozenStrategy 21:33, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Chance for a Specific Nature

Are there percentages on which nature is more likely to "spawn" or is it completely random with a 4% chance for every nature? Greetz -Cipher- 22:23, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

It depends on the Personality value of each Pokémon, and so is a completely random 4% chance. Unless you have a Pokémon with Synchronize. Werdnae (talk) 22:39, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

If you want to go really precise, you could say that the Gentle, Sassy, Careful, and Quirky natures are very slightly less likely to be encountered due to the personality value's upper bound. (There are 171,179,861 possible personality values for each of the four natures I mentioned, but 171,179,862 possible personality values for each of the other 21 natures.) Ultraflame 03:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

I feel like spinda now ^^, the less precise answer was more then enough =P but thx to both of you and werdnae are you tracking me down? xD if so, there's a new question in the sudowoodo talk page xD Greetz -Cipher- 14:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

No, I'm not tracking you down, I just happen to see your edits in the RC, or they happen to be pages on my watchlist. And if I know the answer to a question, I'll answer it. Werdnae (talk) 21:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Berry preferences?

Hello, I'm new to actually editing these pages. Forgive me if this action is a bit noobish, but I don't quite know where else to ask.

I was wondering why the section detailing which berries and such are preferred by pokemon of specific natures was removed. I can't seem to find it anywhere else on this site, and it was wonderfully helpful to me. D:

Is there a reason, or could it be re-inserted? ^_^; - unsigned comment from Aecy (talk • contribs)

It is there, but you have to understand the graphics. By the way, you have to sign your name only after your comment, not where you signed. --Netto-kun ^{Talk • Contribs} 22:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

OH! I see. It's far harder to extract the info I seek quickly, but I guess I can make use of it. Though perhaps it might be useful to put a quick reference chart for berry/nature preference on the berry page for the forgetful like myself... Because, come to think of it, it would be far more appropriate there. ~~Aecy
