What it changes

Raises

Defense+10%

Lowers

Sp. Atk−10%

The multiplier lands on the final stat — ×1.1 on the one it raises, ×0.9 on the one it lowers — so it's worth more in absolute terms the higher that stat climbs. HP is never touched by any nature.

Berry flavours

LikessourDislikesdry

Every non-neutral nature likes the flavour tied to the stat it raises and dislikes the flavour of the stat it lowers. This is what drives berry reactions, Pokéblock and Poffin results, and curry ratings — and it follows the listed nature even if a Mint has changed the stats.

Pokémon that fit this spread

Ranked purely by the gap between Defense and Sp. Atk in their base stats — the wider the gap, the less Impish costs them. Base stats only; this ignores movepool, ability and format.
