Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Best Natures for Salamence

Take to the skies with this mighty Dragon type.

Pokemon worldwide have different traits that impact their stats, known as natures. Finding the best natures for powerful Pokemon is a vital part of any trainer’s journey, even in Paldea. If you’re after a pseudo-legendary like Salamence, you’ll want to know the best natures available for this third-generation Pokemon.

Check below to see what nature the Dragon Pokemon, Salamence, needs in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Be on the lookout for these natures when hunting for your future partner Pokemon. Keep in mind that Salamence is a Pokemon Violet exclusive, so if you’re a Scarlet owner, you’ll need to trade with a friend for this ally.

Adamant+Attack/-Special Attack
Jolly+Speed/-Special Attack

Salamence needs to focus its energy on the Attack stat as a physical attacker. We recommend the Adamant nature for this pseudo-legendary Pokemon. If you prefer to amp up its speed, you can opt for the Jolly nature instead. Each of these natures lowers Special Attack, which Salamence should ignore in favor of its staggering Attack power.

If you’re not interested in finding the best nature for your Salamence, avoid these natures, as they can make Salamence far worse in battle.

Modest+Special Attack/-Attack
Quiet+Special Attack/-Attack

The Attack is the most crucial stat for Salamence, meaning you’ll want to avoid lowering it with specific natures. This means avoiding the Modest and Quiet characters as these natures focus on Special Attack, a trait for which this Pokemon doesn’t want to trade Attack. Once you’ve got a nature you’re happy with, you can start leveling up your Pokemon.
