Here are some rock-solid Natures for these Pokémon.

Natures can have a profound impact on the final stats of a Pokémon, so it is important to know which ones are most beneficial before sticking with the first one you catch. For players who plan on keeping Rolycoly, Carkol, and Coalossal until the very end in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, here are some of the best Natures for these monsters.

Rolycoly, a returning Pokémon like Hoppip, and his evolutionary line are built perfectly to deflect enemy attacks because of their high HP and Defense. Their Special Defense lags behind just a bit, so if players plan on using them as an all-out tank, it would be advised to increase this stat with one of these Natures:

  • Calm (+Special Defense, -Attack)
  • Careful (+Special Defense, -Special Attack)

Depending on whether a player plans on using Physical or Special Attack moves, Calm and Careful are both good options to raise Rolycoly, Carkol, and Coalossal's Special Defense.

How to choose the best Nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

When making a decision on which Nature is best for any Pokémon, it is best to first take a look at their base stats, move pool, and overall playstyle preferences of a player. When looking at a Pokémon's move pool, players should attempt to find a Nature that benefits a majority of the moves they have available. If there are a lot of Special Attacks, players should pick a Nature that strengthens Special Attack stat. The opposite is true for Pokémon that have a lot of Physical attacks.

This doesn't always help narrow things down though, as some Pokémon have a good mix of both types of attacks. In this case, players can look at their playstyle (what type of moves they intend on using the most) and the Pokémon's base stats to point them in the right direction. The best Natures will increase a Pokémon's strongest stat and lower its worst. The chart below can help players get a better idea of what their options are.
