Best Nature for each Eevee evolution in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

A Pokémon's Nature is an important aspect of its performance in battle. It has minor effects on the Pokémon's stats but can be the thing that sets a player's Pokémon apart from the rest. A Pokémon's Nature will increase one stat by 10% and lower another by 10%. The Pokémon will have a Nature when caught, which can be found on the Pokémon's summary screen.

Eevee and its evolutions have long been fan favorites in the Pokémon franchise. With Eevee's evolutions spanning eight different Pokémon types, players can usually find one useful in almost every situation. Each of Eevee's evolutions has unique typing and a unique set of base stats. Because a Pokémon's best Nature is usually one that complements its best base stat, each of the evolutions has its own best Nature.

Vaporeon

Vaporeon is the Water-type Eevee evolution. Vaporeon specializes in its special attack stat, so the best Natures will raise its special attack capability. Mild and Modest will both accomplish this, with Mild lowering Vaporeon's defense and Modest lowering its base attack stat. Players choosing these Natures should be sure to use special attacks rather than physical attacks, as these will not be boosted.
