One of the stats will be 10% stronger than it normally is, while the other will be 10% lower.Natures in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining PearlA Togepi's summary page showing the affects of its Nature.

A red stat with an up arrow and a blue stat with a down arrow will show how they are changed from other stats.This means that players will want to aim for a Pokemon with a Nature that helps it out. An example would be Staraptor. A Jolly Nature is great for Staraptor, as it increases its already strong Speed while decreasing its low Special Attack.Josh Rubino@ProfCoppermaneCaught the first Croagunk I saw in Brilliant Diamond and the boy not only has a speed bonusing nature, but was also holding a black sludge!I love him.
