When does Modest fit?
Consider Modest for special attackers that rely on Special Attack-based moves. It fits best when physical damage is not part of the plan.
The right choice depends on the Pokémon’s moves, role and battle format. A nature does not change types, abilities or move availability.
Modest mint and flavors
A Modest Mint applies +Sp. Atk and −Attack stat effects in games that support mints. A mint does not change the Pokémon’s original nature, its flavor preferences, or the nature it passes through breeding.
A Pokémon whose original nature is Modest likes Dry flavors and dislikes Spicy flavors.
