Mega Falinks Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

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

Since Falinks is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

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

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

Keep in mind that giving Falinks 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 Falinks has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Falinks Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Iron Head Pokemon Steel Type Icon 8
Brick Break Pokemon Fighting Type Icon 7
Close Combat Pokemon Fighting Type Icon 12
No Retreat Pokemon Fighting Type Icon 60

We recommend the moves Iron Head, Close Combat, Brick Break, and No Retreat when using Falinks during the main story.
