A Pokemon's nature raises one stat and lowers another. Usually speaking, a Pokemon's moves are determined by more factors than just the nature, but for the purposes of answering this question, I will solely focus on natures.

If you want your Pokemon to do as much damage as possible, then you should aim for moves that align with your highest attacking stat. Usually, simply looking at the base stats of the Pokemon should help you decide; however, in situations where a Pokemon has equal attack and special attack stats, the nature can be the deciding factor. There are 4 natures that increase Attack: Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, and Brave. Similarly, there are 4 natures that increase Special Attack: Modest, Mild, Rash, and Quiet. If your Pokemon is any of those natures, it is likely that you should try and teach it primarily physical and special moves, respectively. However, it is important that natures are just additional modifiers to stats; you should always look at your Pokemon's actual stat value instead of only looking at the nature.

One last thing I should say: it is not advised to adjust your moves based off your nature. Instead, you should adjust your moves AND your nature based off a Pokemon's base stats. Let's take a Pokemon like Rampardos, who has a massive base Attack stat of 165 but a measely 65 base Special Attack. This means that in game, your Rampardos should probably have physical moves, even if you have a nature like Modest or Mild that boosts Special Attack. If you are in a newer game, this means that you should use a mint to change your Pokemon's nature to something more optimal. As an example, Rampardos would benefit greatly from an Adamant mint to have an Adamant nature, then have all physical moves to utilize its massive Attack as much as possible.

Theres are 5 groups of stats

attack sp attack defence sp defence and speed

each stat has its ups and downs :
lets say I got a charizard with a modest nature modest rises sp attack but lowers attack

but there are some neutral natures like hardy docile and bashfull

so there are 2 groups for these moves (not including status changes and stat raisin or lowering)

theres physical and special :
physical is mostly all about the attack and special is all about sp attack

flamethrower is special but flare blitz is physical

so modest will help flamethrower but no use for flare blitz

heres this sites page for natures http://pokemondb.net/mechanics/natures
