If you were looking for the female player character from Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!, see Mint (TCG GB).
If you were looking for the sleep-curing berry from Generation II, see Mint Berry.

A mint (Japanese: ミント mint) is a type of consumable item introduced in Generation VIII that changes the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats.

Mechanics

When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it changes the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used.

This does not change the Pokémon's actual Nature and by extension its flavor preferences, Toxel's evolution into Toxtricity, the Nature of wild Pokémon encountered using Synchronize, and the Nature that would be inherited from breeding.
