i'd assume for the off chance your opponent is running foul play

And minimizing confusion damage.
Neutral natures don't trigger confusion from pinch berries (Figy, etc.), which run on the true nature and not the minted nature, so you never have to worry about equipping the wrong berry this way.
It's because neutral natured Pokemon can eat any berry without gettng confused, even after using a nature mint, so technically they're now the "best nature". It's only really relevant against mons that use trick, so you can give them a berry they won't like assuming someone went through the effort of getting a good nature on them. It's an edgecase sort of thing.
This however, is more relevant. 0 Atk IVs is prefered on Special Attackers because you take less from Foul Play, something that's gonna be relevant for Galarian Articuno!
That makes sense, though I'm not sure most players have the patience for that.
That's precisely the problem: getting an optimal Pokemon is obnoxious.
lmao guess this serves me right
(this is the part where everyone is obligated to laugh at me)

Is my obsession with niche combinations really such that I value "can take two natures for different parts, one of which is extremely unlikely to ever matter" more than "massive quality-of-life boost"? Since I have a newfound appreciation for nature mints, apparently so.
I mean, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised with myself. I always did take stat numbers as secondary to whatever stupid thing I wanted to do and the primary effect of natures is just stat numbers.

Wonder if the similarities to Rapidash are intentional. A ghostly horse sounds like a corrupted magic horse, while an icy horse sounds like a reversed fiery horse. The manes even look kinda similar for both.
Also, I'm still not completely convinced. Until we get official info, Schrodinger's box remains unopened.

The theme here seems to be
Ice Horse = Knight or Paladin
Ghost Horse = Dark Knight
Ice Horse = Knight or Paladin
Ghost Horse = Dark Knight
Personally hoping that these are actually just special, powerful breeds of rapidash that the king had
Yall, I wouldn't be so quick to jump into conclusions. It's still a decently likely possibility that they are fake models (remember the aligator fly leak, that too was an entirely fake mon that still had all the effort of a whole model and texture being put into it)
Not saying they are necessarely fake, just saying that this doesn't confirm nor deny their existance being real

Wait, so isn't this assuming the opposing pokemon's (who you are tricking the "wrong" berry to) true nature isn't neutral?
Seems ridiculously fringe, actually not even worth it, because the whole premise revolves on an assumption of the opposing pokemons true nature, which is impossible to predict?
Pretty sure G-Zapdos (and possibly G-Moltres) is/are physical attackers.

awesome gaming
cool. why did it take OP ages to give us hd models... unless they were still editing them hmmm
A lot of spectral horses are described as not having hooves, having their hooves be obscured by shadow, etc. If real, it's actually a really clever nod to the original myths.
... Yes, I'm the only person on Smogon who likes both Calyrex and Spectrier. Gimme my Shadow Rider.
You aren't the only one...on Spectrier anyway. I'm neutral on Calyrex. My only issue with Spectrier is that the design ended up looking too much like Rapidash while the Ice Horse has a more unique design.
