Best nature for Sylveon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Screenshot of Pro Game Guides
Sylveon is a pure Fairy-type Pokemon first introduced in X&Y. It evolves from Eevee when the Pokémon befriends its trainers and has learned at least one Fairy-type move. Sylveon may look cute, but his fighting power certainly isn’t. Also, with the right nature, Sylveon is a good Pokemon to bring into the Scarlet and Violet competitive scene.
What is the best nature for Sylveon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
The best nature for Sylveon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is:
- Modest (+Sp. Attack, -Attack)
- Calm (+sp. defence, -attack)
Sylveon’s highest base stat is SP. Defense. However, its Sp. Attack isn’t too far behind its stat, making either Modest or Calm the best nature for it.
For PvP, however, we prefer silence. As long as you throw Sylveon against a special attacker like Charizard, it will survive any attack and deal devastating damage in return. It can even be used as a support mon in doubles. It has the movesets and defensive ability to protect your team.
However, if you only use Sylveon for raids, always choose a humble nature. You want to increase damage output as much as possible.

How to choose the best nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
One of the easiest ways to determine the best nature for a Pokemon is to take a look at its highest stat. Make sure you reinforce this and sacrifice a stat he doesn’t need. For example, Sylveon’s attack isn’t that good, so sacrificing its growth is fine.
