Can someone explain to me what this affects? It's separate to nature since this stat does not necessarily reflect stats affected by nature (blue and red text)
Sorry if the question is retarded but it's the first time i play this game and i don't remember seeing it on the older games
Can someone explain to me what this affects...

It's the characteristics.
Copy and paste...
A Pokémon's Characteristic indicates which stat contains a Pokémon's highest IV. It is displayed on the Pokémon's summary screen where its Nature, date met, place met, and flavor preference (DPPt) are shown.

I read that but i still don't quite get it. Is it just an indicator of what the pokemon highest stat is or will be?
Easton Taylor
yes. to give you an idea, if your mon's characteristic isn't any of these six, then you can tell that none of its IVs are flawless

OP is just trying to meme about proud of its power lucario

WHAT POKEMON IS IT OPEE
Joshua Thompson
I don't think i still quite get it. So for example if i have a brave (+ATK/-SPD) machop and it has "Good perseverance" (DEF) what does that mean? It's highest stat is not DEF
That was a taillow but i do have a riolu with that characteristic, too bad it's nature is not great

It's about IVs
Jayden Sanchez
It indicates the highest IV.
Do you know what IV's are?
Ryan Cruz
You already got your answer in the first reply in the thread. It just tells you a stat with the highest IVs.
Juan Thompson
This cannot be real lmao
Michael Richardson
I see so it's the secret nature shit you're right. So my machop would have good attack, bad speed and decent defense right?
What's the best characteristic/nature for him then?
Camden Stewart
Just use the link in the first fucking reply... Every question you could possibly have about this was answered 2 fucking hours ago.

When did you first start coming to this board? You inadvertently posted a meme from years ago.
Charles Myers
I've been playing pokemon and used Any Forums for many years but i've been using this board for literally only a week. What's the meme?
Dominic Morales
It's been a while since I last saw it so I might be misrepresenting some details but some autist was trying to get someone to trade them a lucario whose characteristic was "proud of its power" because they headcanoned a personality for their lucario.
Gavin Phillips
How do you not know about IV's if you've been playing for years?
Pic related.
Charles Martinez
Hmmm woould that pokemon happen to be a rioulu?
Xavier Roberts
That's pretty funny but also very based that's what pokemon (and any other game) is all about: having fun. That's why i don't know much about more advanced things like IVs, EVs and things like that despite having played these games for over 20 years; because i play these games for the fun of it not because i want to be some tryhard "pro nuzlocker" wannabe. I mostly asked about this "characteristic" thing for curiosity not because i want to min-max my team

you dont need to worry about ivs/evs for the main story, its barely noticeable most of the time plus theyre easy enough anyway. only in comp is it crucial
