The starter Pokemon – Fuecoco – is one of the first creatures you’ll encounter in the game. Surprisingly, this same Pokemon is capable of having 2 evolutions. It evolves into Crocalor and finally Skeledirge. If you have chosen this ‘Fire Croc’, here are the best Natures you can use for Fuecoco, Crocalor, & Skeledirge in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
Best Natures for Fuecoco, Crocalor, & Skeledirge In Pokémon SV
First things first, Fuecoco is a very slow Pokemon even at its highest evolved form. Skeledirge has a base Speed stat of a mere 66. However, it more than makes up for its decent HP, Attack, Defense and even Special Attack. It is literally a tank! With that in mind, we have chosen the following Natures:
- Modest (Increases Special Attack but decreases Attack)
- Calm (Increases Special Defense but decreases Attack)
- Timid (Increases Speed but decreases Attack)
For offensive minded players, the Modest Nature suits the best as it gives a boost to Skeledirge’s base Special Attack of 110. A slight nerf on its Attack stat is something that you will need to sacrifice on. This is indeed manageable as you’re trying to max out one of the most useful stats in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Special Attack.
The final-stage Skeledirge has decent base Defense stat of about a 100. The Calm Nature boosts its base Special Defense which hovers around 75. A nerf in attack won’t affect you much as you’ll be strengthening your defense. This will ensure that you cover all areas.
Lastly, for players who are frustrated by Skeledirge’s speed stats, we suggest using Timid Nature. This will give a slight boost to the Pokemon’s base Speed of 66. However, your Skeledirge won’t immediately be able to outrun everything with this boost. But it will give you a slight relief as you’ll be close to having a more balanced Pokemon.
That was it on the best Natures for Fuecoco, Crocalor, & Skeledirge In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. We hope we helped you find the right Nature, do check out our Pokemon SV guides page right here.
