All Natures & Their Effects In Pokemon Sleep

Nature became a prominent aspect of Pokemon in 2002 when Ruby and Sapphire first introduced the concept. But after 21 years, Pokemon Sleep is here to change the idea a little, making it a less battle-focused feature. Since the sleepy Pokemon in Niantic’s sleep-tracking app are not interested in fighting each other, their Natures only affect their helping stats. With that being said, here’s the complete list of all Natures in Pokemon Sleep, along with their descriptions.

These Natures have a higher chance of triggering Pokemon’s main skill, which can be a lucrative outcome for recovery, EXP gain, and resource gathering. Depending on the play style, players can also benefit from Help-Speed-Boosting Natures like Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, and Brave.

What Are Neutral Natures In Pokemon Sleep

In Pokemon Sleep, Natures that do not affect a Pokemon’s stats are considered neutral. These are Bashful, Hardy, Docile, Quirky, and Serious. The reason why they don’t change performance is that they increase and decrease the same ability, resulting in a total of 0% alteration.

How To Change Nature In Pokemon Sleep

Unlike mainline Pokemon games, Pokemon Sleep does not allow players to change a Pokemon's Nature. There are no Mints available, and items like Evolutionary Rocks influence nothing but a Pokemon’s evolving process.

Currently, the only way for players to get Pokemon with different Natures is by catching new creatures of the same type. Considering that Pokemon can possess any of the 25 Natures, there is approximately a 4% likelihood of catching a creature with the desired Nature.
