Natures

Natures, first introduced in the Advance generation games, are modifiers that primarily affect the stats of the Pokémon. Most natures, with the exception of four, increase a stat by 10% while decreasing another stat by 10%. Additionally, natures determine what berries can be fed to it without decreasing its happiness, as well as what flavors of poffins may be used effectively and ineffectively.

With all this taken into consideration, a nature has the potential to be helpful or hindering; one certainly does not want a nature that decreases attack on a Pokémon that is a physical attacker. The nature a Pokémon has is entirely random unless it is bred from two Pokémon of the same nature, in which case the two parents will produce a child of that nature. Thus, natures, when combined with Individual Values, make acquring a "perfect" Pokémon extremely difficult.
