Training and stats

Breeding lets compatible Pokemon produce eggs. It is used to pass down natures, IVs, abilities, egg moves, and, in some generations, Pokeballs.

Experience is what pushes Pokemon from one level to the next. Leveling affects evolution, stat growth, and when a team reaches its next move or stat threshold.

Natures change a Pokemon's stat growth by boosting one stat by 10% and lowering another by 10%. Five natures are neutral and do not change stats at all.
