ADAMANT NATURE CALCULATOR

Check how Adamant nature changes any Pokemon's stats at level 50. Adamant boosts Attack by 10% and cuts Sp. Attack by the same amount, so it matters more for some builds than others. Type a name below to see the exact stat shift and whether Adamant is the right call.

In Legends: Z-A, Nature Mints can change a Pokemon's stat effects without changing its actual nature.

Select a Pokemon above to see how Adamant changes their stats

Quick Pick

BEST ADAMANT NATURE POKEMON

Adamant pushes Attack up 10% and drops Sp. Attack by the same amount. Over in Legends: Z-A, top picks include Rayquaza, Dragonite, Scizor, and more. If your Pokemon doesn't run special moves, there's no real downside. Tera Type can cover weaknesses that Adamant's Sp. Attack drop would normally expose. Even safer to run with Tera.

Adamant raises Attack by 10% and lowers Sp. Attack by 10%. Physical Sweepers and physical Wallbreakers that only use physical moves. 100 Pokemon competitively run this nature.

Nature MintUse an Adamant Mint to change stat effects to Adamant. The original nature name stays but stats change. (Gen 8+)

ADAMANT FAQs

What does the Adamant nature do in Pokemon?
Adamant raises Attack by 10% and lowers Sp. Attack by 10%. At level 100 with full investment, that's roughly a 30-point swing on the boosted stat. Pokemon with Adamant nature prefer Spicy flavor and dislike Dry.
What are the best Adamant nature Pokemon?
Top Adamant users include Rayquaza, Dragonite, Scizor, and Groudon. They benefit from the Attack boost because their main damage comes from that stat. The Sp. Attack drop doesn't hurt them since they don't rely on it.
Is Adamant a good nature for competitive Pokemon?
Adamant is a strong competitive nature. It's one of the most-used natures in competitive formats. The key is matching it to Pokemon that don't need Sp. Attack in their moveset.
How do I get an Adamant nature Pokemon?
Synchronize is the fastest method. Lead with a Pokemon that has Synchronize and Adamant nature, and wild encounters match it (Gen 3+). Breeding works too: give the Adamant parent an Everstone and all offspring inherit the nature. Nature Mints (Gen 8+) let you change the stat effect to Adamant without rebreeding.
Should I use Adamant or Jolly?
Adamant prioritizes power, while Jolly goes for speed. Pick Adamant when your Pokemon's role depends on the stat it boosts. Go with Jolly when speed matters more for your team.
