Natures are a mechanic that influences how a Pokémon's stats grow. A Pokémon's Nature is determined when it is generated by the game: when it is obtained as an Egg, when it is encountered in the wild, or when it is given to the player by a non-player character. A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the growth rate of two of its stats, increasing one by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. A Pokémon's Nature and the stats affected by it are displayed on the Pokémon's summary screen: the increased stat is notated in red text and the decreased stat is notated in blue text.
