If you know how to get Nature Mints in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can build your competitive team faster. The same is true if you know how to get bottle caps and ability capsules. These flavored foods give your Pokemon the stat changes of one nature without actually changing its nature. This means you don’t have to go through the trouble of finding an Adamant Scyther to use as a sweeper.
We’ll tell you in a nutshell how to get Nature Mints in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, what they’re used for in the new games, and anything else we think might help you.

What do Nature Mints do in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?
Mints in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Ghost-type gym town may be confusing.
Mints adjust Pokemon’s stats to match their type. A Pokemon’s nature enhances one stat and reduces another (Adamant, Quirky, Modest).
When you encounter a wild Pokemon, its nature is usually randomly allocated, which can mean catching one with a nature that hurts its best stat. Nature Mints help.
The nature of the Pokemon you use them on won’t change, but their stats will match the nature of the mint you give them, avoiding the grind of finding the proper Pokemon.
