The Most Game-Changing Pokemon Features From Each Generation

Generation III
(Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald) – Pokemon Natures

Starting in gen III, every Pokemon is given a nature that determines how certain stats will grow over time. There are a total of 25 natures, and they usually affect two different stats. For example, a bold nature, like the one above, will increase defense but lower attack.

Pokemon natures are actually one of the reasons that breeding is such an important feature in the series. Players can hatch eggs over and over again until they have a Pokemon with a desired nature.

If your Jolteon’s main electric moves are feeling more like small static shocks, getting one with a modest nature will solve that problem by upping its special attack.
