Nuts can still be given to anyone, but the stat increase won't be as high as the ones listed above.

Nuts do not have a fixed value when it comes to its stat increase, as the increase is measured via the character's base stat.

For example, giving a Slippery Nut to Throne will give her more Evasion increase than other characters as Throne has the highest Evasion base stat out of all the characters.
