If your Pokemon is using moves that are predominantly Physical, then it's best to get a Nature that increases its Attack stat, while decreasing its Sp. Attack stat. Conversely, if your Pokemon is using moves that are predominantly Special, it's best to get a Nature that increases its Sp. Attack, while decreasing its Attack stat.
In these cases, Adamant is recommended for Physical attackers, while Modest is recommended for Special attackers.
The right Nature in conjunction with Effort Values and Individual Values make up a competitively viable Pokemon.

You can tell what Nature your Pokemon has by checking its summary.
In Pokemon Sword and Shield, you were able to do this by opening the menu with the X button, selecting Pokemon, then selecting the Pokemon you wish to check, then click Summary. You will be able to find its Nature on one of the tabs.

A Pokemon's Nature will affect the growth of 2 of its different stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense). Nature will increase the growth of 1 of the stats by 10%, while decreasing the growth of another by 10%.
There exist 5 different natures that increase and decrease the same stat, thus making them neutral Natures. These are Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious.
