HASTY FAQs

What does the Hasty nature do in Pokemon?

It's a +10% Speed, -10% Defense nature. The 10% multiplier applies after base stats and EVs, so the actual point difference grows as stats get higher. Pokemon with Hasty nature prefer Sweet flavor and dislike Sour.

What are the best Hasty nature Pokemon?

Thundurus, Talonflame, Goodra, and Arcanine are among the strongest Hasty picks. What they share is a reliance on Speed and little need for Defense. Check the tier list for current rankings.

Is Hasty a good nature for competitive Pokemon?

Yes. It's one of the most-used natures in competitive formats. You'll see Hasty on dedicated Speed-focused builds across most tiers and formats.

How do I get a Hasty nature Pokemon?

Three options: (1) Synchronize lead forces wild Pokemon to match your lead's nature. (2) Everstone breeding passes the nature 100% of the time since Gen 5. (3) a Hasty Mint changes the stat effects after the fact. Mints don't change the nature name, just the stat modifiers.

Should I use Hasty or Jolly?

It depends on what your team needs. Hasty is the mixed speed option. Jolly is the physical speed option. Most of the time, your Pokemon's moveset and role make the decision obvious.
