Can You Change Nature?

Use a Neutralizing Mint

Item Description
Pokemon Sleep - Neutralizing Mint Neutralizing Mint A perfectly white mint. Having a Pokemon smell it will remove all effects a Pokemon's Nature has on its stats.

You currently cannot change a Pokemon's Nature. However, if you use a Neutralizing Mint on a Pokemon, the stat effects of its Nature will no longer be active. This item is good to use on Pokemon that have good helping stats and skills but are held back by their Natures.

Neutralizing Mint Effect and How to Get

What are Natures?

Influence Pokemon Stats

Natures determine what a Pokemon is good at and what they they don't do so well.
