Another one of the new twists in Ruby & Sapphire battles is the addition of Pokemon Natures / Personalities. When you catch a Pokemon, it's Nature will be predetermined randomly out of 25 Natures, and each one will have a slight effect on your Pokemon's stats (Attack, Defense, Speed, etc.). A Nature will raise the growth rate of one stat by a small factor between 1 and 1.5, and it will lower the growth rate of another stat by 0.85 to 1. It's hardly noticeable so it stays within the set Pokemon's Perameters.
Also to be noted, some Pokemon Natures will raise and lower only one stat out of your Pokemon's 5. This cancelation can be known as a stalemate Nature, meaning that the Pokemon doesn't gain or lose any points from any of its stats, which can be either a good or bad thing depending on the Pokemon's best abilities. Anyway, here's a table showing each Nature and the stats it raises or lowers:

So when a Pokemon has a Nature that raises a stat and lowers another, that Pokemon will have significant differences in stat points when fully trained, as opposed to a Pokemon witha stalemate Nature. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
HP ATK DEF SPD Sp.A Sp.D |
|
|
|
Blaziken lv.100 Adamant 364 372 239 259 287 239
Blaziken lv.100 Quirky 364 339 239 259 319 239
|
|
|
This example shows 2 fully-trained, level 100 Blaziken. One is Adamant and the other is Quirky, a stalemate Nature. As you can see, Adamant Blaziken's Attack surpasses that of Quirky Blaziken, but in the Special Attack, Adamant Blaziken is below par compared to Quirky.

You can locate your Pokemon's Nature in the bottom box on the 1st page of the Pokemon's Stats Screens. |
