When to Use Adamant
Adamant is built for physical attackers — every contact and physical move hits harder. The price is a 10% cut to Sp. Atk, so it's a free upgrade for any Pokémon that doesn't rely on that stat.
See who makes the most of the boost: the top Attack Pokémon rankings. And if you'd rather boost Sp. Atk instead, flip to Modest, its exact opposite.
A Nature is only a third of the stat story — pair it with EV training and strong IVs to get the most out of any Pokémon.
Other +Attack Natures
Three more Natures raise Attack, each cutting a different stat: Lonely (−Defense), Brave (−Speed), Naughty (−Sp. Def).
