In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, each Pokémon excels at different roles due to their stat spread. These are Attack, Special Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed. These are then affected by a Pokémon’s Nature. This is true for all Pokémon, including Shellos and Gastrodon.

Best Natures

To make the most out of your Shellos and Gastrodon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you will need to choose the best Nature. Below we have compiled the best options for the best Nature for Shellos and Gastrodon.

  • Relaxed: Defense (+), Speed (-)Sassy: Special Defense (+) Speed (-)

How to choose the best Nature

The best Natures for Shellos and Gastrodon are the Relaxed and Sassy Nature, but we recommend going with the Sassy Nature. This will increase their already great Special Defense. Shellos and Gastrodon’s only weakness is the grass type, and most of these are special attackers.

Shellos and Gastrodon would also benefit from the Relaxed Nature. Their Defense is okay, and having an extra boost would be helpful. Still, we think the Sassy Nature is the best choice, but if you are tired of hunting the perfect Nature, the Relaxed is a good backup.
