Best Nature for Manaphy

Modest or Timid Natures are Best

List of Recommended Natures
Modest Special Attack ↑ Attack ↓	Timid Speed↑ Attack ↓

For players who intend to use Manaphy to it's full potential, we recommend looking for one with a Modest or Timid Nature. As a Special Attacker, it would appreciate the increase to either it's Special Attack or Speed and not mind the drop in it's Attack stat.

For Story Playthoughs, Special Attack and Speed Increasing Natures Should be Fine

When playing the main story, it isn't really necessary to have the best nature. Having any nature that boosts Special Attack or Speed should be fine. You will be able to change natures using Mints in the post-game so you can worry about that after clearing the main campaign.
