Best Espathra Nature
The Best Nature for Espathra in Pokemon is either Modest or Bold. Modest is likely the preferred option, as Espathra has a high Special Attack and low Physical Attack. It is unlikely that you will be using any Physical Attack moves, which makes it an unnecessary stat.
Here’s a look at Espathra’s Base Stats:
- HP: 95
- Attack: 60
- Defense: 60
- Sp. Atk: 101
- Sp. Def: 60
- Speed: 105
Bold on the other hand will give you increased Physical Defense, which is useful for protecting it against damage. In either case, you want to take the nature that will decrease Physical Attack, because that is going to go unused the majority of the time you are using this Pokemon.
If you want to out speed your opponents, then you might want to go with Timid. Espathra’s speed stat is particularly high, which makes it a good Pokemon for getting the first attack in battle.
