Nature Mints can be found or bought in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Finding them is more trouble than they are worth, as players will have plenty of money doing raids or farming items in the overworld. These mints are unlocked after earning six badges and will be available at any Chansey Supply shop no matter the city. This is everything players need to know about Nature Mints in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
How to get Nature Mints in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Nature Mints can be bought at the Chansey Supply store in most cities in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet after earning six Gym Badges. The easiest route for going through the Victory Road Gyms won't take too long if players do a few Tera Raids on the way or only use a handful of Pokémon. Each Nature Mint will cost 20,000 Pokédollars or LP and can become pretty expensive if player's aren't making a lot of money.

The way Nature Mints take effect is by keeping the natural Nature the same but giving the effects of a different Nature. This has one stat increased by 30% while another is decreased by 30% and can give Pokémon a large advantage. They are located in the item bag in the Other Items category. It is recommended to do some research on what Nature would suit a Pokémon the best before using because of its cost. This is what each Nature will do:
| Nature | Increased Stat | Decreased Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Lonely | Attack | Defense |
| Adamant | Attack | Special Attack |
| Naughty | Attack | Special Defense |
