Rash at a Glance
When to Use Rash
Rash is built for special attackers — beams, blasts and other special moves gain power. The price is a 10% cut to Sp. Def, 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 Sp. Atk Pokémon rankings. And if you'd rather boost Sp. Def instead, flip to Careful, 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 +Sp. Atk Natures
Three more Natures raise Sp. Atk, each cutting a different stat: Modest (−Attack), Mild (−Defense), Quiet (−Speed).
