Zekrom is a legendary Pokémon that hails from the Unova region, so its appearance at Blueberry Academy makes sense. If you're wondering how to get the most out of your newly-caught Zekrom, you'll need to pick the best nature for it in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
What are the best natures for Zekrom in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
The following are the best natures you can pick for Zekrom:
- Jolly (+Speed, -Sp. Attack)
- Adamant (+Attack, -Sp. Attack)
Zekrom is an incredibly Dragon/Electric-type powerful Pokémon that boasts high stats in almost every area. By giving it the Jolly nature, you can take its Speed from decent to great, ensuring that Zekrom can fire off powerful attacks like Outrage before your opponent has a chance to move.
If you're looking to focus solely on offensive power, though, you can also give Zekrom the Adamant nature. With a base Attack stat of 150, this will turn all of Zekrom's moves into devastatingly powerful attacks that will decimate your opponent's HP. However, you should keep in mind that Zekrom is slower than other Legendary Pokémon like Zapdos, so it will likely take at least one hit before it can get an attack off.

How to choose the best nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
When choosing a nature for your Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet, it's important to find the middle ground between the Pokémon's stat spread, movepool, and intended role on your team. If your Pokémon is notably weaker in one area—such as its Attack or Special Defense—then it's best to pick natures that reduce those stats in favor of stronger ones.
For example, while Zekrom does have a high Special Attack stat, its physical Attack is much higher. You can forgo Special attacks like Thunderbolt in exchange for physical moves like Bolt Strike (one of Zekrom's signature attacks that takes advantage of its incredible offensive power).
