Serious
A neutral nature. Serious leaves every stat unchanged.
Serious is one of five neutral natures, so every stat grows at the normal rate.
| Stat | Multiplier | Change |
|---|---|---|
| HP | 1.0× | – |
| Attack | 1.0× | – |
| Defense | 1.0× | – |
| Special Attack | 1.0× | – |
| Special Defense | 1.0× | – |
| Speed | 1.0× | – |
Serious Pokémon have no flavor preference, so HP-restoring Berries like the Figy Berry never confuse them.
Serious Mint
Scarlet and Violet item
Feeding a Pokémon a Serious Mint changes its stat growth to match the Serious nature. The nature in its summary stays the same; only the stat changes apply. Mints debuted in Pokémon Sword and Shield and are also available in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
