"Natures are the final thing that effect a Pokémon's stats. If you want to find a good nature, pick a Nature that boosts the stat that a Pokémon uses a lot and decreases the stat that the Pokémon doesn't use very much.

Neutral Natures

Bashful Nature (Neutral)
Docile Nature (Neutral)
Hardy Nature (Neutral)
Serious Nature (Neutral)
Quirky (Neutral)

+Attack Natures

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef)

+Defense Natures

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
Lax Nature (+Def, -SDef)
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)

+Speed Natures

Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def)
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

+Special Attack Natures

Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)

+Special Defense Natures

Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
Gentle Nature (+SDef, -Def)
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)"

I believe that should give you an idea of what natures do.
 
OMG Ambient, that was my guide. ^.^

To add onto the list posted above...

- A positive [+] nature means that a stat is raised by 10% of the regular. So if a Ninjask would normally have a 100 attack stat, a positive [+] nature in Attack would give it a 110 Attack stat.

- A negative [-] nature means that a stat is lowered by 10% of the regular. So if Turtwig had a 100 Attack stat normally, a negative [-] nature in Attack would give it a final of 90 Attack Stat.

- Neutral natures don't do anything. So if Bronzong had a 100 Attack stat, a neutral nature would do nothing, and still give it a 100 Attack stat.

Neutral natures aren't good for competetive.

Firstly - not always, as some have a better attack stat. Secondly - that's a 5th gen poke, not a 4th one. Try the Black and White Help thread or if you want advice for a wifi team try the Simple Q&A thread sticky at the top of the Competitive Battling Centre section.

Lastly - please check the date of the last post before posting - this thread is over three years old since the last post and bumping threads over a month old since the last post is against the rules.
