Best Nature for Spiritomb in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Natures can have a large impact on a Pokémon's performance in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. A Pokémon's Nature will raise one of its stats by 10% at the cost of lowering another by 10%. While 10% may not seem like a lot of change, this can really affect how a Pokémon performs in battle. A Pokémon's Nature can be the thing that makes it stronger or weaker than other Pokémon, even of its own species. All Pokémon will have a Nature when caught and players can find this Nature on the Pokémon's summary page.

Players have some options when choosing the best Nature for Spiritomb. Normally, a Pokémon's best Nature will compliment its best stat and lower its worst one. Spiritomb's highest stat is split between defense and special defense. This allows players some choices when deciding which Nature fits their playstyle best.

How to choose the best Nature

Since Spiritomb shares its highest stat amongst defense and special defense, Relaxed and Sassy are both valid choices. Relaxed will raise Spiritomb's defense at the cost of its speed, while Sassy will instead raise special defense at the cost of speed. Both of these stats will allow the Pokémon to take more damage in battle and ideally outlast its opponent.

While these Natures will best compliment the Pokémon's stats, that does not necessarily mean they are the best choices. Which Nature is best will be decided by how players use Pokémon most frequently in battle. Natures boost a stat and lower another, so players should choose a Nature that works best with their playstyle.
