Pokemon with a Bold nature have an increased defense stat but a decreased attack stat. They also tend to have a more confident and self-assured personality which makes them useful!
For example, if a Pokemon with a Bold nature were to be a Pikachu, it might have higher physical defense power but lower physical attack power compared to a Pikachu with a different nature.
Its personality might be more confident and self-assured compared to a Pikachu with a more timid nature.
It is important to consider a Pokémon’s nature when training it, as its nature can greatly affect its capabilities in battle. Different natures may be more or less suited to different playstyles and strategies.
