What is the best Nature for Chien-Pao in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Chien-Pao is a powerful Dark and Ice-type Pokémon that is pretty good across the board but excels more specifically in its Attack and Speed stats.

  • Naughty (+Attack, -Special Defense)
  • Naive (+Speed, -Special Defense)

Because Chien-Pao is pretty heavily centered around its ability to make quick and powerful attacks, similar to Nymble and Lokix, it's less important to focus on other areas, such as Special Defense. It also has access to some pretty great Physical attacks, which benefit from Naughty Nature.

How to choose the best Nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Players must keep a couple of different moving parts in mind when choosing which Nature is best suited for a given Pokémon. It is a good idea to make this choice based on personal playstyle, the Pokémon's base stats, and its move pool.

Base stats should be catered to choosing a Nature that increases the Pokémon's best stats and decreases its worst. This is a good rule of thumb when choosing a Nature, but it is not always the best way to decide. Players should look at the Pokémon's move pool to be sure they have the necessary moves to take advantage of the chosen nature. A Pokémon that does not have access to great Special Attacks should not be given a Nature that increases its Special Attack stat. The chart below can help players make a better decision on which Nature is right for them.
