With U-turn and Volt Switch, the suggested EV spread in the teambuilder will use an Attack- or Special Attack-decreasing nature if it is the only physical or special move on the set, respectively, but in the case of U-turn, with a 31 Attack IV. This makes sense, as decreasing bulk or Speed only to not reduce the power of a utility move is not usually worth it, but the extra chip damage tends to outweigh the reduced Foul Play and confusion damage of a 0 Attack IV.
However, Flip Turn suggests using a -Defense or -Speed nature, which is usually not the recommended spread on the special attackers that use it. There are a few exceptions like Basculin, but they are very much the minority. Most, like Keldeo, Milotic, Primarina, Kingdra, and Vaporeon, instead use the -Atk with a 31 Atk IV spread of U-turn. Consequently, the teambuilder's suggested nature should be updated to reflect this and fit the previous precedent.
