A mint (Japanese: ミント mint) is a type of item introduced in Generation VIII that changes the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats.
Mechanics
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it changes the effect of a Pokémon's Nature on its stats to that of the Nature corresponding to the mint used. Its actual Nature, however, is unchanged, so its disliked flavor, Toxel's evolution into Toxtricity, Natures of wild Pokémon encountered using Synchronize, and Nature that would be inherited from breeding will remain the same.
Acquisition
Mints can be purchased at the Battle Tower for 50 BP. They are also awarded at random each time the player achieves a higher rank for the first time in the Battle Tower.
Mints can also be found scattered around the Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra as randomly spawned overworld items each day.
As there is no functional difference between the five "neutral" Natures, mints for the Hardy, Docile, Bashful, and Quirky Natures do not exist.
