Does Jolly Mint Change Nature?
Ponies and Trainers around the world have pondered the age-old question: does Jolly Mint change nature? Well, after scouring through hundreds of articles, guides, and forums, I’d say it’s high time we set the record straight. In this article, we’ll delve into what exactly Jolly Mint and nature are, and explain why some people seem confused about its effects.
What is Jolly Mint?
To break it down, Jolly Mint is a unique nature modifier that changes the "effect" of a Pokémon’s nature, but it does not change its intrinsic nature. This concept will be crucial in understanding the phenomenon at hand.
For a better grasp of "effect" vs "intrisic nature," compare it to a language like a native tongue, native meaning the language that individual learned as a young organism (nature), the intrinsic. Effect means it reflects that nature. But as they say, practice = more skillful native proficiency
How to understand Jolly Mint as an effect modifier?
Jolly Mint takes its "effect" from a naturally Jolly Pokémon and transmutes it onto a Pokémon with an external nature. What follows is a brief demonstration
| Original Nature (BOLD) | Jolly mint (Adamant) Action | New "effective" Nature | (bold) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOLD | -Att+SpA ((modest)) → | Modest | ||||
| ADAMNT | **–Spe+Atk | → ?? | ||||
| TIMID, | • ••• |
So, a Pokémon possessing an Adamant Nature applied Jolly Mint and get "–Spe+Attk" which normally should come from Jolly as -SpA; though if Adamant doesn`t provide –Spe the Pokemon can get that attribute under some circumstances
Limitations and exceptions to Keep in Mind
Don’t think for a moment; some Pokémon might "have some extra effects” either the ones from original base and also Jolly- effect (the actual action we have Jolly Nature gives), as stated they work independently of these Mint
This also helps me when using Everstones / ditto for different roles for each individual the new
Exception
some have found an unverifiable phenomenon: sometimes two jolly mints with 1 Pokémon don=t stack their effects while trying another mint it didn=(t change, thus "2 mints +” one can get; even on some, these were tried but the two changed 1 of both two were tested and some jolly mints change effect then they changed as result jolly mints never stacking for one single test where we used the method by putting jolly 16x, it wasn|=t
Implications and Takeaways
After reviewing numerous online explanations and theories, one certainty emerged: Jolly Mint indeed changes the impact of a Pokémon’s actual nature but not its foundational nature itself as Pokémon Trainer have an option to control whether Jolly mint on either, as you always a lot more chance when all you do.
That doesn’t mean every answer. You may experience inconsistencies as I mentioned or “anomalies with that mints,” some “Mints effects could depend on” if something can work as such they must. If any "problematic" occurs a mixture from Natures, Mints
Some might argue a possible Jolly mint changing internal. The only clear-cut point that it could if I found this point not changed it and found evidence as we do as stated but if the Pokémon got from nature. What? And this doesn’t take you through. Then go out and do.
By far the most efficient a mints is still no reason for them or one or the two more you do it or so there isn’t so what that would change all
These points can clarify which effects change nature change **only in effect in changing but doesn’t it or other ways of any
