Are Paradox Legendaries Nature Locked ?

[Helta]

Hi,

I have a question about Paradox legendaries and their natures/legitimacy.

I own Pokémon Scarlet. I caught Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt in my game. Gouging Fire has an Adamant nature and Raging Bolt has a Modest nature. These natures seem very specific, so I doubt it was just luck. I’m wondering if their natures are locked.

I also got Iron Boulder and Iron Crown from the GTS (I know the GTS is not the safest place to trade but I have to deal with it). Their IVs look normal (around 20 in all stats), ball/OT looks legit too. But their natures are Lonely (Iron Boulder) and Brave (Iron Crown).

So I have a few questions:

- Are the Paradox legendaries natures locked when you catch them in-game ? I can’t find a definitive answer. Some says it’s locked, other says it’s random.
- If natures are locked, what natures should Iron Boulder and Iron Crown normally have ?

I mainly want to know if the two Pokémon I got from the GTS are legitimate, and what I should check.

Thank you for reading, hopefully you can help me.

Hi,

RNG is an interesting thing, you got really lucky with those natures! Here's video evidence of Gouging Fire having a lax nature upon being caught, seen at 5:32 -

So, no, paradox legendaries are not nature locked.

That clears it up. Thank you so much.
