In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a Pokémon’s Nature will affect two of its stat (aside from HP). This is important because having the right Nature on a Pokémon will allow players to use them most efficiently in battle. A Pokémon’s Nature can be found on its summary screen in the in-game menu.

The Mythical “Pitch-Black” Pokémon, Darkrai, is a beastly Pokémon and is a great asset in battle. It may not be easy to get ahold of, but it is worth having on a team due to its fantastic special attack stat. Darkrai also has an immunity to Psychic-type moves which comes in handy during a fight.

How to choose the best Nature

Darkrai specializes in special attacks, and with access to moves like Psychic and Dark Pulse, it is important for players to boost its special attack stat to most effectively use the Pokémon in battle. Natures like Modest and Mild are best for Darkrai as they boost this stat and allow it to deal even more punishing blows to opponents in battle. If choosing these Natures, players should be sure to use special attacks, as these will not boost the stat/effect of physical attacks.

These Natures are the best to go alongside the Pokémon’s special attack stat. Players can go for different Natures if they want to use these Pokémon in a different way, prioritizing attack or speed instead of special attack, as Darkrai is proficient in both of those aspects as well.
