Can I still make a good Pokémon that has a terrible nature for a competitive team?

Jun. 16, 2018



I just found a shiny Xurkitree, but what stinks is that its a sassy nature. I want to use it on my team but that nature may not be the best for speed. It also has a perfect 31 in speed. Can I still make it work?

Xurkitree’s main flaw is it’s less than average speed stat. If you really want it to be good (which is a Special Sweeper), you need an increased speed stat. Having a decreased one means you can get easily outspend by many Pokémon, and Sp. Defense doesn’t help against common Earthquakes.I know how tempting it is to use a shiny, but catching one with Timid nature will be better competitive-wise.But hey, at least it’s still an awesome shiny!
