Timid Nature

Timid raises Speed by 10% and lowers Attack by 10%. At level 100 with full investment, that's roughly a 30-point swing on the boosted stat. Pokemon with Timid nature prefer Sweet flavor and dislike Spicy.

Top Timid users include Dialga, Dragapult, Miraidon, and Eternatus. They benefit from the Speed boost because their main damage comes from that stat. The Attack drop doesn't hurt them since they don't rely on it.

Timid 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 Attack in their moveset.

Synchronize is the fastest method. Lead with a Pokemon that has Synchronize and Timid nature, and wild encounters match it (Gen 3+). Breeding works too: give the Timid parent an Everstone and all offspring inherit the nature. Nature Mints (Gen 8+) let you change the stat effect to Timid without rebreeding.

Timid prioritizes speed, while Modest goes for power. Pick Timid when your Pokemon's role depends on the stat it boosts. Go with Modest when power matters more for your team.
