TIMID FAQs
What does the Timid nature do in Pokemon?
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.
What are the best Timid nature Pokemon?
Top Timid users include Miraidon, Dialga, Dragapult, 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.
Is Timid a good nature for competitive Pokemon?
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.
How do I get a Timid nature Pokemon?
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.
Should I use Timid or Modest?
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.
