Nosepass and Probopass are some of the Pokémon added in the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. These Pokémon have their own perks, but if you want to make the best use of them, you will need to know the best natures for them. In this guide, I'll tell you the best natures for Nosepass and Probopass in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
What are the best natures for Nosepass and Probopass in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Teal Mask DLC?
These are the best natures for Nosepass and Probopass, respectively:
- Relaxed (+Def, -Speed)
- Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
The main issue with Nosepass is it has a very small health stat, but it also has great normal defense stat, which is why beefing it up more with Relaxed Nature is a great choice. Doing so helps you balance Nosepass' low health.

That said, once Nosepass evolves into a Probopass, there is a massive boost for defense stat. Due to this increase, you get the room to switch the nature to Modest to have more special attack power. To summarise, the best nature for Nosepass is Relaxed, and for Probopass, it's Modest.
