What is the best Nature for Terapagos in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?

The best Nature for Terapagos in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the following:

  • Modest (+Sp. Attack, -Attack)
  • Timid (+Speed, -Attack)

Terapagos is an amazing Pokémon if you know how to utilize your turns to build up for its Stellar Form. For the Natures, I recommend going with Modest or Timid, as Modest boosts your Sp. Attack even further, while Timid allows you to perform actions much quicker, which is essential in the first six turns.

For EVs, you want to focus on building up HP and Sp. Attack so you can tank more moves. Terapagos only has one weakness, which is fighting-type moves, so it can definitely take on even the hardest-hitting Sp. Atk Pokémon like Kyogre.

How to choose the best Nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Having the option to choose a Pokémon's Nature allows you to elevate them to the next level and sometimes can even make a certain Pokémon viable for competitive play. The trick to choosing the best Nature is by checking which stat your Pokémon excels at, and what moveset can your Pokémon learn in the long run.

In this case, Terapagos excels at almost everything thanks to its decent defense, Sp. Defense, and high Sp. Atk. Since Terapagos's defense stats are already satisfactory, you can leave it be and focus on boosting its Sp. Atk even further. Couple this with a Shell Bell, and your Terapagos should come out almost unscathed, even in Tera Raids.
