Team-building fit
Gentle is a niche nature. It can support special bulk, but lowering Defense means the rest of the team must cover physical pressure.
Gentle nature planning
Gentle raises Sp. Def and lowers Defense. Use it only when that tradeoff matches the Pokemon's job.
| Nature | Raises | Lowers | Team use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timid | Speed | Attack | Fast special attackers and speed-focused utility. |
| Careful | Sp. Def | Sp. Atk | Specially bulky support, pivots, and physical tanks. |
| Gentle | Sp. Def | Defense | Niche special bulk when lower Defense is acceptable. |
| Quiet | Sp. Atk | Speed | Slow special attackers and Trick Room-style planning. |
| Jolly | Speed | Sp. Atk | Fast physical attackers. |
| Modest | Sp. Atk | Attack | Special attackers that want more damage. |
| Adamant | Attack | Sp. Atk | Physical attackers that do not need special moves. |
| Bold | Defense | Attack | Physical walls and defensive support. |

Use Gentle only when the Pokemon can afford lower Defense.
Check whether the team has reliable answers to physical Fighting, Ground, and Rock pressure.
For most defensive Pokemon, Careful is often easier to justify than Gentle.
