Does anyone know of the "best" natures to use on a pokemon?
 
I just wanna know if anyone has made a list of the best natures for said pokemon, or all of them. I want to have a good set of pokemon, but I can't find a thing on google.

Moving this over to Strategies and Movesets, where it's more fitting.

Every Pokemon has a different useful nature for each moveset it uses. But soome general guidelines:

1) Unless the pokemon is classified as a wall, you'll want a nature that boosts its greatest stat (i.e. Salamence is best with Adamant with a physical moveset).

2) If the pokemon is meant for physical sweeping, you'll want a +Atk Nature. The same applies for a Special Sweeper with a +SAtk nature. However, if the pokemon is meant to outrun lots of other things while sweeping, you'll want a +Spd Nature that does not increase its Offensive stat (i.e. Sceptile or Alakazam with Timid Nature for a special sweeping moveset).

3) With guideline #2 in mind, if you have a mixed attacker, you'll want a +Atk or +SAtk that decreases Def/SDef if it's fast (Gengar with Lonely/Naughty nature) or decreases Speed if its slow (Camerupt/Boahtar with Brave or Quiet Nature). Salamence and similar pokemon are special cases to this rule.

4) If the pokemon is a Defensive tank or wall, you'll want a +Def Nature that does not decrease the effectiveness of the pokemon's main offense (i.e. Impish instead of Bold on Skarmory with Drill Peck). You can also use Relaxed Nature on something like Weezing if it has a Special Attack like Fire Blast.

5)Special tanks and walls are a different case from Defensive walls, so I'll just list them and their most common/best natures:

Blissey: Bold/Calm (With max Defense, it can survive against things like STABed Earthquakes. Calm is only for use in Ubers)

Regice: Bold/Modest/Calm

Snorlax: Careful/Sassy (Sassy if you have Fire Blast)

Ludicolo: Calm/Bold/Modest (Preferably Calm if you're using a stalling set.

Milotic: Bold (It's made to switch in vs Salamence and Ice Beam it, so it needs all the Defense it can get. Also helps further Marvel Scale's effectiveness)

These are only guidelines to give you a CLUE on which natures are best used on certain pokemon, but with so many factors, that can be subject to change. But if you post your team and movesets, we can help you determine which natures and EVs go best with it. Here's a list of Natures to help you out:

Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
Naughty (+Atk, -SDef)
Lonely (+Atk, -Def)
Brave (+Atk, -Spd)

Bold (+Def, -Atk)
Impish (+Def, -SAtk)
Relaxed (+Def, -Spd)
Lax (+Def, -SDef)

Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)
Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
Hasty (+Spd, -Def)
Naive (+Spd, -SDef)

Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
Quiet (+SAtk, -Spd)
Mild (+SAtk, -Def)
Rash (+SAtk, -SDef)

Careful (+SDef, -SAtk)
Gentle (+SDef, -Def)
Calm (+SDef, -Atk)
Sassy (+SDef, -Spd)

Hope that helped some.
