Gentle-Mint is an item introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. When consumed by a Pokémon, it changes the effects of the Pokémon's Nature to those that would be produced by a Gentle Nature, without altering the actual Nature itself. This specifically impacts the Pokémon's stat growth by increasing its Special Defense stat while decreasing its Defense stat.
Effect Details: - Special Defense Increase: Using a Gentle-Mint will cause the Pokémon's Special Defense stat to grow more effectively (about a 10% increase). - Defense Decrease: Conversely, the Pokémon's Defense stat will grow less effectively (about a 10% decrease).
Usage in Competitive Play: While Natures influence the growth of a Pokémon's stats, Trainers often use mints like Gentile-Mint to fine-tune their Pokémon's performance in battle without altering its inherited characteristics completely. This allows for greater flexibility in strategy, especially in formats where specific stat balances are crucial.
