Evolution Chart: How to Evolve Every Pokemon


Swablu Best Nature for Story

Adamant or Modest

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack

Since Swablu can work as either a Physical or Special Attacker, its Best Nature is either Adamant or Modest, depending on how you plan to build its EVs and Moves.

Give Swablu Adamant if you want to use it as a Physical Attacker, and Modest if you want to build it as a Special Attacker instead.

Alternative Natures

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

You can also give Swablu either Brave or Quiet nature, allowing you to use both of its Physical and Special moves without much downside.

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

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

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