Natures are fun little things that give a 10% increase to one stat and a 10% decrease to another. Whether it's a hindering nature or a beneficial nature is up to the stat.

Modest = +Sp. Attack, -Attack
Adamant = +Attack, -Sp. Attack

Modest is beneficial to Sp. Attack, but is hindering to Attack.
Adamant is beneficial to Attack, but is hindering to Sp. Attack
There are certain natures, like Quirky, that give no boost or decrease to any stat. If the second page of your Pokemon's summary says "Happily eats anything," it has a neutral nature.

The + is a 10% increase in the stat and the - is a 10% decrease in the other stat. Natures are helpful, especially if you EV train. Bookmark this page if you want a quick referral to all natures: Serebii.net Games - Natures

You can get shiny Starters, but that's just decided by luck. Same with shiny legendaries: Whether or not you have a shiny Dialga in your game is decided at the very beginning.

You can breed for a shiny Piplup, but just remember the 1 in 8192 chance of getting an egg with a shiny in it.
