Timid Nature Pokémon: +Speed, −Attack

Timid raises Speed by 10% and lowers Attack by 10%. HP and the other stats are unchanged.

Increases+Speed
Decreases−Attack

When does Timid fit?

Consider Timid for Pokémon that need extra Speed to act earlier. 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.

Timid mint and flavors

A Timid Mint applies +Speed 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 Timid likes Sweet flavors and dislikes Spicy flavors.
