Natures are personality traits that affect a Pokémon's stats, boosting one by 10% and lowering another by 10%. For example, an Adamant Nature boosts Attack and lowers Special Attack, ideal for physical attackers. Abilities are passive skills that provide various effects in battle or on the field. Understanding these mechanics allows for more strategic team building and optimizing your Pokémon's potential.
