The almighty emerald dragon Rayquaza imposes fear into its opponents due to its over-tuned stats in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. In this guide, I’ll discuss some of the best Nature choices for Rayquaza so you’re able to turn thisLegendary Pokémoninto a monster.
What is the best Nature for Rayquaza in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
The best Nature choices for Rayquaza in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the following:
Rayquaza has decent HP and massive Attack/Sp. Atk stat, making it the perfect attacking Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet. I chose these three Natures to further complement Rayquaza’s moveset and stats.
Adamantincreases your Attack, allowing you to even one-shot enemies with physical moves.Modest, on the other hand, focuses on the usage of Dragon-type moves, whileJollycomplements Rayquaza’s already high attacking stats to ensure you have a greater chance of inflicting massive damage on the first turn.
For EVs, it’s best to focus onHP and Attack. Alternatively, if you want to elevate Rayquaza’s Dragon-type moves, go for Sp. Attack. Having a maxed EV on attack maximizes Rayquaza’s damage output with moves like Crunch or Dragon Ascent, and having bonus HP ensures you survive hard-hitting Pokémon.

How to choose the best Nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
The Nature system works similarly to other RPGs' min-max system, meaning your choice should always complement your Pokémon’s moveset and role to maximize its potential. If your Pokémon deals a lot of physical damage while having decent defense stats, it’s better to double down on an Attack-based Nature like Lonely, Adamant, or Naughty.
For Rayquaza, since it has one of the best stats in a Legendary Pokémon, doubling down on its Attack makes it a true powerhouse in a competitive setting or even during Tera Raids as a damage dealer. Instead of getting a Nature for other stats that do not stand out, focus on a Pokémon’s role and moveset in your party.
