Best Nature for Dialga in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Natures are an important aspect of a Pokémon's performance in battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. A Pokémon's Nature will affect its stats, raising one by 10% and lowering another by 10%. This may not seem like much, but it does have a heavy impact on the Pokémon's ability to outpace its opponents, and can be the only thing that sets a player's Pokémon apart from the rest. A Pokémon will have a Nature by default when caught in Pokémon Legends: Arceus which can be found on that Pokémon's summary page.

How to choose the best Nature

With Dialga having one of the highest special attacks in the franchise, players should stick with a Nature that compliments this stat. Mild and Quiet are great choices because they raise Dialga's strongest stat and lower the ones that Dialga doesn't need as much in battle. If one of these Natures are chosen, players should be sure to focus on special attacks in battle since those are the ones that will benefit from the stat increases the Natures provide.

The best Nature will ultimately come down to playstyle and how players use their Pokémon in battle. If players don't rely heavily on special attacks, then it is best to go with a Nature that improves the Pokémon's physical attack or defense stat as they are tied for second-best in the lineup.
