| I basically like all of the good natures that aren't outclassed by other ones. I'm going to rate all of the natures and then point out the ones I like. However, I'd like to point out a few things before I rate them:
- Sp.A stands for Special Attack, and Sp.D is for Special Defense.
- Natures affect the stats of a Pokemon by raising and (usually) lowering them. They are added in from the moment you get them and cannot be changed.
- This will only cover new natures in Pokemon Twilight. Most of the original natures fall between High and Decent, and neutral natures fall in Low. If someone doesn't know about the other 25 natures in the real games, look them up on Google or go to Serebii.
- HP natures place more weight than boosts in other stats because of how they are calculated. Thus, natures that affect HP will be weighed heavier.
Uber Tier Natures
These natures are ones that I feel are good in almost any circumstance. If you have a Pokemon with one of these natures, it'd probably be best to keep it.
Nerdy: Attack, Special Attack, and Speed increase by 10% (This nature is so awesome that I haven't encountered a Pokemon with it yet =/ )
Geeky: HP, Defense, Sp.D increase by 10%
Energetic: Speed increases by 30%, all other stats decrease by 5% (Energetic isn't recommended for slow Pokemon like Slagmite; it works for fast Pokemon or Pokemon that would work better with a speed boost.)
High Tier Natures
These are natures that are very beneficial to certain types of Pokemon and aren't outclassed (or at least not badly).
Curious: HP increases by 15%
Sly: HP and Attack increase by 5% (These two natures give free stat boosts, and aren't bad unless you were looking for something else.)
Stubborn: HP increases by 15%, speed decreases by 15% (This and other natures that boost defensive capabilities at the cost of speed are good for Pokemon like Slagmite.)
Tacit: Defense increases by 10%, and Sp.D by 5%. Speed decreases by 15%.
Industrious: HP and Speed increase by 10%, and Attack increases by 5%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 5% (I moved this ability from Decent to High because on close inspection, this ability technically has no downsides to it. The loss to both defenses are canceled out by the HP increase, which ends up giving the Pokemon a small boost to overall defenses in addition to the other boosts.)
Weird: Speed decreases by 15%, all other stats increase by 5%
Elegant: Sp.A increasess by 15%, Attack decreases by 15% (Works well with physically weak special attackers like Voyant.)
Hyper: Attack and Sp.A increase by 5% and Speed increases by 15%, Defense decreases by 5% and Sp.D decreases by 10%
Playful: Attack and Speed rises by 5% and Sp.A by 10%, Defense falls by 5% and Sp.D by 10% (Hyper is generally better, but it doesn't mean this is bad.)
Shifty: HP increases by 5% and Speed increases by 15%, Sp.D decreases by 10% (It's a relatively harmless speed boost and is a good substitute for Pokemon that won't enjoy the power supression of Energetic like Voyant.)
Mischevious: Attack, Sp.A, and Speed increase by 5%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 5% (This is a nice small boost to sweepers, but it is outclassed by Nerdy.)
Withdrawn: HP increases by 5%, and Defense increases by 15%, Attack and Sp.A decrease by 10% (This is here because it gives out the highest boost in overall physical defense; it's outclassed by other defensive natures like curious otherwise.)
Decent Natures
These are natures that are acceptable, but are ususally outclassed or have a minor unwanted effect alongside the boost.
Arrogant: HP increases by 10% and Sp.A by 5%, Speed decreases by 15%
Strange: Sp.A and Sp.D increase by 10%, Attack and Defense decrease by 10%
Nervous: HP, Defense, and Sp.D increase by 5%, Attack, Sp.A, and Speed decrease by 5%
Careless: HP increases by 15% and Sp.A by 10%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 10%
Creepy: Attack and Speed increase by 10%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 10%
Amiable: HP increases by 15%, and Speed increases by 5%, Attack and Sp.A decrease by 10%
Boisterous: HP and Attack increase by 10%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 10%
Obnoxious: HP increases by 5%, Sp.A increases by 10%, and Attack increases by 15%, Defense and Sp.D decrease by 15%
Stern: Attack and Defense increase by 10%, Sp.A and Sp.D decrease by 10%
Sweet: HP increases by 10%, Attack and Sp.A decrease by 5%
Low Tier Natures
These are natures that aren't as acceptable as the Decent ones but have a small amount of usablilty in them.
Clever: Sp.A and Sp.D increase by 10%, HP and Attack decrease by 10%
Shy: Speed increases by 5%, Attack and Special Attack decrease by 5%
Whimiscal: Sp.A increases by 10% and Sp.D increases by 15%, all other stats decrease by 5%
Spry: Sp.A increases by 15%, all other stats decrease by 5%
Horrible Natures
These are natures that should be avoided if possible.
Snobby: HP rises by 15%, all other natures fall by 5%
Dodgy: It has the exact same effects as Snobby >_>
Reckless: Speed increases by 15%, HP and Attack decrease by 10% (Unlike Shifty, this gives a very harmful effect for the same speed increase.)
Lazy Tier
Lazy: Defense increases by 5%, Speed decreases by 10% and all other stats decrease by 5%
This is the absolute worst nature in the game, and should be avoided at ALL costs. The difference betwen this and the ones in the Horrible tier is that this nature harms you in every aspect and gives you no boost in return (there's a very small boost in overall physical defense, but it's negligible.
So anyway, feel free to discuss your take on these natures. And in case you were wondering, my favorite natures would be anything in the first two tiers. :)

| Very in-depth post. That'll be great for if I want to actually find a pokemon of the right nature. Great work

| No, it's happened to me twice, so either it's my computer or the site. |

| It's probably because of Kabob's weird way of posting messages. It has been reported... |
