- Pokémon with a Bold Nature will gain a Defense boost but a cut to their Attack. It’s a great Nature for Steel or Rock type Pokémon as they rely highly on defense. These types excel at enduring damage and diminishing the opponents health with Special Attacks. So, losing some of their Attack power is not a huge deal.

In most cases it is preferable to have a nature that decreases either Attack or Special Attack for Pokémon whose strengths are the opposite type of attack. Espeon, for example, favours Special moves, so it's best to use a nature that decreases its Attack since it won't be used.

•What Are Natures in Pokemon Sword and Shield
Natures are part of what makes each Pokemon unique from each other. They are randomly applied to each Pokemon upon receiving or capturing them. Each of the 25 Natures, with the exception of five, will increase one Base Stat by 10% while decreasing another Base Stat by 10%. While viewing your Pokemon's summary of stats, the base stat in red is the boosted stat while stat in blue is the decreased stat.
Since Natures are randomly applied, some people capture a large number of the same Pokemon to get the "right" Nature. For example, Gyarados naturally have a great Attack stat but poor Sp. Attack. stat. So, you'd want a Gyarados with a Nature that lowers its Sp. Attack stat (since it won't be used), and increase a stat that's important - like Attack or Speed.
If you have a Pokemon with the Synchronizeability in the lead of your party, every Pokemon you encounter in the wild will share the same Nature as the lead.
The table below lists each of the 25 Natures with the Base Stats they increase and decrease.
Pokemon Sword and Shield introduce new items called Mints that change your Pokemon’s stat growth and stat potential the same way Natures do. You cannot purchase Mints until after you beat Pokemon Sword and Shield. Though Mints don't change your Pokemon's Nature in that Pokemon’s flavor text, they still change the rate of the stat growth and that stat’s max as if that Pokemon had a different Nature. A Lonely Mint will affect a Pokemon the same way a Lonely Nature would.
For example, giving a Pokemon a Modest Mint will make its Sp. Attack growth high and its Attack growth low, which will be reflected in its summary. Its Sp.Attack stat will from then on be Red to mark its increased growth, and its Attack stat will be Blue to mark its lowered growth, as if its nature were Modest.
However, that Pokemon’s original Nature will still be reflected in its flavor text. Giving a Pokemon a Mint will retroactively affect its stats previously affected by its original Nature, as well. So, if a Pokemon’s stat was lowered by its previous Nature, it will raise after changing its stats with a Mint. Mints are stored in the Other Items pocket of your Bag.
Mints will not change a Pokemon's Nature for Breeding purposes, either.
After beating Pokemon Sword and Shield, Mints can be purchased at the Battle Tower (Wyndon Tower) from the BP Shop on the far left side of the counter. They can be purchased for 50BP each. BP are "Battle Points" earned by battling at the Battle Tower.
