What is the best Nature for Shuppet & Banette in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Shuppet and Banette aren't quite as powerful as some other Pokémon, like Coalossal, but they can be more useful given they have the right Nature. Here are some good options:

  • Lonely (+Attack, -Defense)
  • Naughty (+Attack, -Special Defense)

Since these ghostly Pokémon have an exceptionally high Attack stat, players would be wise to further put their eggs in the all-out Attack basket. It's worth noting that they don't learn too many Physical Attack moves naturally, so it would be a good idea to hunt down some TMs to boost their arsenal. Some good Natures that pair well with Shuppet and Banette are Lonely and Naughty.
