    Best Nature for Sylveon Explained

    Sylveon benefits most from the Modest Nature. The increase in Sp. Atk allows Sylveon to better utilize its special offense. Since most of its attacks are special, it won't mind the drop in Attack.

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Sylveon Explained

    Dazzling Gleam is the best STAB move for Sylveon with reliable power, accuracy, and PP. Mystical Fire offers good coverage by allowing it to hit Steel-types that would otherwise resist Sylveon.

    This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. Having a Fairy-type against Volo will be very useful providing the only super-effective damage against Spiritomb and having an immunity against Garchomp and Giratina.
