Pokémon Black | Adamant vs Naughty

Adamant
- Bianca 2's Snivy is a 1/16 Range in Blaze.
- When a Purrloin is at half health, hitting it with Ember if you got Growled is a range.
- In the first gym, you need to TW+Tackle x2 the first trainer. (55% range)
- You need to TW+Tackle x2 or TW x2+Tackle(Tackle) Tia's Patrat.
- You need to TW+Tackle x2 Cress' Lillipup (88% Range)
- 2nd Plasma Grunt in the Dreamyard isn't a range. (Always 2HKO)
- In Castelia, the two Sandiles are 75% Ranges in Blaze. (Skips SE Text)
- Less likely to have to heal in the late game. (For Cheren fights etc.)
- Clay is safer. (Can heal to a lower HP so you're always hit into Blaze by Bulldoze x2)

Naughty
- Bianca 2's Snivy is a 75% range in Blaze.
- When a Purrloin is at half health, hitting it with Ember if you got Growled is no longer a range.
- In the first gym, you can now Ember x3 (17.5% range, but Burning, Critting or Any Blaze hits guarantees range).
- You can Ember x2 Tia's Patrat with Blaze. (Save 1 Turn)
- You can Ember x2 Cress' Lillipup with Blaze. (Save 1 Turn)
- 2nd Plasma Grunt in the Dreamyard is a 1/16 Range in Blaze. (Can save 1 Turn)
- In Castelia, the two Sandiles are guaranteed in Blaze. (Saves SE Text)
- More likely to have to heal in the late game. (Can lose time, if you're unlucky)
- Clay is riskier. (Need to heal to higher HP. Bulldoze x2 might not always put you in Blaze)

Conclusion
- Adamant is safer than Naughty, and makes you less likely to heal lategame.
- Naughty is riskier since you want to always be at lower HP in the earlygame, however it can save a substantial amount of time in the earlygame.
- Naughty is not needed unless you're going for 3:15 or better. Adamant is wiser to choose until then, but the choice is yours, so you can still take a Naughty seed if you find it first.
