Best nature for Chi-Yu in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Getting the right nature for your Pokemon is essential if you want to maximize their potential. In the case of Legendaries, this becomes even more valuable since you generally have a copy of them. One of these Legendaries is Chi-Yu, a member of the Treasures of Ruin who boasts an impressive Dark/Fire-type. Although Chi-Yu is a strong Pokémon on its own, giving it the optimal nature can make the Pokémon even stronger.

Which nature to choose for Chi-Yu in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

While Chi-Yu has a low average attack/defense HP, it has a lot of SP. Atk and Sp. Def. It goes without saying that optimally you should try to increase Chi-Yu’s strengths even further; therefore both are the best nature for Chi-Yu Modest or Light. Both natures increase Sp. Atk, with Modest decreasing Attack and Mild decreasing Defense.

Chi-Yu learns powerful moves like Inferno, Overheat, and Dark Pulse that use Sp. Atk. It learns a few physical moves, but not really worth upgrading its physical stats unless you plan on teaching the Pokémon physical moves with different TMs. Increase the speed by giving it a Shy Nature is also a decent option if you’re willing to trade some damage for the ability to hit first.

To change the natures to Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, simply purchase the Nature Mint you want from the Chansey Supply Shop in Montenevera. However, each coin costs $20,000. So be prepared to shell out a reasonable amount.
