Evolution Chart: How to Evolve Every Pokemon


Spinarak Best Nature for Story

Adamant or Brave

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Brave ↑ Attack, ↓ Speed

Since Spinarak is a Slow Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Brave to boost its Attack further, while reducing its Special Attack or Speed stat respectively.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Spinarak either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Spinarak any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Spinarak has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
