, You'll find out why soon enough. ,, While holding an Everstone, a Pokémon has a high chance of passing on it's nature to the baby Pokémon.
Eventually, you will get an egg, and then soon after, a baby Eevee, hopefully with the correct nature.
Sometimes, this will take multiple attempts.
Don't get down, just carry a Pokémon with Magma Armor or Flame Body abilities in your party to cut the egg hatching time in half. , But, don't evolve it until after Eevee gets to be level 36, so it will learn Baton Pass, which is crucial.
Then train it up to level 57 so it will learn Mean Look, and have the Ability Synchronize, so the opponent Pokémon is likely to have the same Nature as you. , Mime and Drowzee.
Find or trade a female Mr.
Mime or Mime Jr. to your game, and then get yourself a male Drowzee.
Make sure Drowzee knows Hypnosis, and then put them both in the daycare.

Mime that knows Hypnosis.

The target will have wasted that turn trying to run, and you'll have trapped it.
Now, on your next turn, use Baton Pass, and pass to Mr.
Mime, with the Soundproof ability.
This will keep them from being able to Roar you away, and you will have Hypnosis to put them to sleep. , Once they're down to a sliver of health and sound asleep, begin bombarding them with Ultra Balls and, depending on your level, Level Balls.
Dusk Balls work well at night, and keep some Timer Balls on hand, too, because this could take a long time. , You'll eventually catch the target with the desired nature, and then you can begin EV training it to battle your friends, or to use in the Battle Tower, or just for your Pokedex. -
