Evolution Chart: How to Evolve Every Pokemon


Skrelp Best Nature for Story

Bold or Calm

Nature Stat Changes
Bold ↑ Defense, ↓ Attack
Calm ↑ SpDef, ↓ Attack

Due to Skrelp having very high Defensive stats, its best natures are either Bold or Calm to boost its Defense or Special Defense further.

Skrelp also has a better Special Attack stat compared to its Attack, so choosing one of the above natures allows Skrelp to still deal some damage with its Special Moves.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Relaxed ↑ Defense, ↓ Speed
Sassy ↑ SpDef, ↓ Speed

You can also give Skrelp either Relaxed or Sassy nature, allowing you to increase your Defense or Special Defense at the cost of reduced Speed.

Keep in mind that giving Skrelp any of the above two natures will increase the cooldown of moves, putting you at a disadvantage against faster Pokemon.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

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