Natures play an important role in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. While players don’t have to pay attention to a Pokémon’s Nature, they affect the Pokémon’s performance in battle. The Nature will raise one of the Pokémon’s stats by 10% and lower another one by 10%, making a big difference when facing off against opponents. You can find a Pokémon’s Nature by visiting its summary screen in-game.

Chingling and Chimecho are Psychic-type Pokémon with high special attack stat in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. These Pokémon are a real threat in battle and can do some serious damage with special attack moves like Extrasensory, Confusion, and Ominous Wind.

Best Natures

  • Modest: Special Attack (+), Attack (-)Quiet: Special Attack (+), Speed (-)

How to choose the best Nature

Since these Pokémon already have a high special attack stat, a good Nature would increase that even further, making the Pokémon more efficient in battle. Modest and Quiet will both raise the Pokémon’s special attack while lowering attack and speed, respectively. Players choosing these Natures should be sure to focus on special attacks in battle rather than physical attacks, as special attacks will be boosted.

Players will ultimately be able to decide which Nature is best for their Pokémon as it really comes down to playstyle and how the Pokémon are most frequently used in battle. If players rely heavily on a specific stat, then they should find a Nature that boosts that stat and lowers another, less important, stat.
