Selecting the right nature.

This something i only learned recently, maybe im slow and you guys already knew, but selecting a positive nature for a pokemons highest base stat means the increase is higher.

For Example:

I used to run this Regirock set:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

As you can see with an adamant nature it gave me 298 Atk and 463 Def.

I now run this Regirock set:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Now with an Impish nature i still have 298 Atk but now have 479 Def.

Of course this won't always be possible if want to max something out, but it could be useful for when you aren't.

Don't worry Alan. You're just slow
But yeah to people wanting to know what nature to run, make sure you are using the 10% boost correctly. Putting it in the highest stat is normally better.

Alan's set here is a perfect example of wasting a 10% boost, and then using it frugally.

That is why you must always use a modest Ferrothorn with max Sp Atk and max speed.

Yeah, I've known about this for a while, but it's a good idea to bring up for anyone who hasn't already been clued in. EVs just add stat points, but natures act as a multiplier.

Always told my tutees this :S
