Nature Influence

Suggestion Title: Nature Influence Suggestion Summary: To implement the ability, much like with legendaries, to influence - not perfectly determine - the nature of eggs that are purchased through the supplier or tournament shops, lab even. Probably with the same method as the above legendaries one. Alternately, as suggested by SageHoney, a 'bribe' of currency, like the fast delivery, to everstone the 'parents' that deliver the supplier eggs. Reasoning: I looked through all of the forums and couldn't see exactly what I was suggesting. I know that there are some rejections for being able to change natures, but that's not what I'm asking for. And I know breeding for it is a thing, but when it comes to extra eggs from the supplier, or trying to nature hunt a newly released fakemon using the tournament shop with gp, or ditto, it just isn't a thing. I know that I would love to use the supplier more frequently, especially on Niet and Ravyne bonus days, but have been holding off on buying the egg supplier passes because I can't nature influence them at all. The extra eggs are nice, but if the special I hatch is the wrong nature for what I'm aiming for, be it personal or a hunt for somebody else? It can be a bad enough feeling when I am using everstones and it gets the wrong nature, but at least I had max chances. It would probably get more currency flowing in terms of the credits for the eggs, and gold for the passes and priority shipping. I of course don't know how the coding is set up for the legendaries, but this I imagine it could do something when 'checking the parents for stones' and if both parents are null, it checks the party? This could even be merged with/replace what's already set up for legends, since they're the same way. I can't really think of much of a negative other than possible coding difficulties, but maybe somebody else can? Extra note: in light of some of the conversations over in the black flute suggestion by Niet, I would like to point out that this isn't intended as a way 'around' usage of dcp, but something to use in conjunction. I know that, being in the stage that I am, sometimes I am hatching too fast for breeding to catch up, or would like to order some to prep for a new chain. It's also that usually, credits for the egg orders here are easier to get than gold needed for dcp. There's also a balance that can be struck, between supplier and daycare, because eggs in supplier cost varying amounts of money based on rarity encoded in the system, while all daycare passes have the same cost.

I fully support this, I have a ditto chain that I intend on giving shinies/albinos to people that match their preferred nature but i fear i'll get a melan before I get the right natured shinies because i can't influence their natures

Support- for unbreedavlws and variants nature hunting right now annoyingly hard.

support. maybe nature mints could be added for this purpose? the mints could be purchased in bulk during tourneys and would work like z-crystals for nature and would apply to eggs from the lab and from supllier

Theres already incense which influences nature and it would be too easy for people who hunt a specific nature of a pokemon. For Ex. Player A is hunting lets say pikachu, then they have 99% BP thats Naive and then transfers to the offspring. Other than that though i support this.

There's no incense that influences nature though? Everstones do but not a guarantee, so I agree with nature mints as a temporary consumable when we have a system in place already that's convertible.

This can also be like Nature Mints in pokemon Sword and Shield. This is 100% chance so using an Adamant Mint on a pokemon WILL ALWAYS result in that mon having this nature. To balance it out it could be pretty expensive but not too expensive. This is becuse unlike Everstone this is 100% chance not just a high chance that can stil fail. Good for when hatching a melan after a million eggs just to discover it has the wrong nature. Just use the correct mind for that nature to save you time and not hatch another million eggs only to find out it has the wrong nature again Even better if you want a full line. But this will make nature hunting very easy as any offspring you get you can simply buy that mint and chance its nature. Here where the expensive price comes in play so you cant just buy a million of them and change every shiny albino or melan you get to have your desired nature. Note that this only affects the offsprings as the parents most likely already have that nature/holding the everstone. This is for every offspring you get that has the wrong nature and you wish to change to it.
