What is the best Nature for Scream Tail in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

- Careful (+Special Defense, -Special Attack)
- Impish (+Defense, -Special Attack)
The best Nature for Scream Tail in Pokémon Scarlet is Careful or Impish. This is because the Pokémon has great defensive stats, making it a damage sponge in battle.

How to choose the best Nature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Players have a few different ways to make choosing a Nature easier. They can look at a Pokémon's move pool, base stats, and their own playstyle to help narrow down the possibilities. A Pokémon's move pool is a great thing to look at first, as the Nature should reflect what move types (Physical or Special) a Pokémon has a majority of. If there are mostly Special Attacks, the Nature should increase the Special Attack stat, or at the very least not lower it.
This doesn't always work, as some Pokémon have an equal mix of both move types. In this case, players should look to the base stats. The best Natures will strengthen a Pokémon's strongest stat and lower its worst.
