Not only are Capsakid and Scovillain the spiciest additions to the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet roster, but they also have incredible potential when it comes to both attack as well as special attack.

However, the best way to ensure they’re able to reach their top potential is to pick the correct nature for your Capsakid and Scovillain. Seeing as how there are so many distinct natures to pick from, we’ll be going through the two best ones for you to pick from depending on your playstyle.

What is nature in Pokémon?

Every Pokémon a player catches is given a specific nature. What most players don’t know, however, is that the nature of a Pokémon affects how efficient it is in battle, as well as what sort of food it likes.

When looking at just how the statistics of a Pokémon are affected by its nature, every nature increases a particular stat by 10% but also decreases another by the same amount. There are other factors of the games that are affected by the nature of your Pokémon, such as what type of food it likes and more. You can find out all about it in this ultimate Pokémon nature guide. 

Quiet

The quiet nature is definitely the best nature if you want a Capsakid and Scovillain that specializes in high damage special attacks. After all, being a grass and fire Pokémon, Scovillain gets access to many strong attacks such as Fire Blast, Solarbeam, and Lead Storm.

Therefore, getting a 10% increase in special attacks because of its quiet nature will make it easier to turn your Capsakid and Scovillain into a special sweeper, especially when it comes to going against lower level Pokémon.

The one disadvantage to this nature is that the speed stat is decreased by 10%. However, seeing as how Capsakid and Scovillain already had average speed that almost always ensured they’d go second, that isn’t too much of a disadvantage.

Brave

If instead of taking advantage of Capsakid and Scovillain’s incredibly high special attack, you want to focus on the equally high attack stat, then brave nature is definitely the best one for you.

Giving a 10% increase to the attack stat, players are able to use the many powerful physical moves Capsakid and Scovillain learn (Like Zen Headbutt and Crunch) in order to quickly wipe the enemy out.

Of course, with a 10% increase in one stat, there’s also a 10% decrease in another stat, and the decreasing stat in this instance is the speed one. Fortunately, as mentioned above, Capsakid and Scovillain aren’t exactly known for their high speed, so losing 10% wouldn’t be as big of a handicap as, say, losing 10% on the defense stat.

Final Thoughts

Capsakid and Scovillain are Pokémon that many players will instantly take a liking to because their unique typing has unlimited potential. Picking the right nature, however, is very important, and which of the two listed above you pick for your own Pokémon really depends on your play style.
