How to choose the best Nature

With Palkia having one of the highest special attacks in the franchise, it is wise to stick with a Nature that compliments this stat. Mild and Quiet are great choices because they raise Palkia's strongest stat and lower ones that are of less importance in battle. If one of these Natures are chosen, players should be sure to focus on special attacks in battle since that is what makes Palkia so great in the first place.

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 speed stat as they are tied for second-best in the lineup.
