Nature is an important aspect of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Nature can be used to maximize a Pokémon’s efficiency in battle, as it affects two of a Pokémon’s stats (attack, defense, special attack, special defense, or speed). A Pokémon’s Nature should complement its stats in a way that increases its strengths and minimizes its weaknesses. A Pokémon’s Nature can be found on its in-game summary screen.
Hippopotas and Hippowdon are great Pokémon to take into battle. They are well-defended and have some nice attack power as well. Being a sole Gound-type, these Pokémon have few weaknesses and even an immunity to Electric-type damage which can come in handy.

How to choose the best Nature
With Hippopotas and Hippowdon being versatile with their good defense and attack stat, these Pokémon can be used in many different ways in battle. Relaxed and Brave will both compliment the Pokémon in different ways, and it is up to players to decide how they would like to use them in battle.
Relaxed is a great option for players that rely on the Pokémon’s defense more, though its speed stat will be lowered meaning it will likely not outpace its opponents. Brave is a nice option for players that use mostly physical attacks in battle. These two Natures compliment Hippopotas and Hippowdon in different ways, but ultimately the best Nature comes down to how players decide to use the Pokémon in battle.
