Same nature and characteristic = winning?

1 minute read

So when I breed my Pokemon I try to get the offspring the same nature and characteristic in hopes that it would double max out a certain stat.

Like for example my Electrivire is Proud of its Power (atk) and has Adamant nature (atk). Does grouping the two make any difference or am I just wasting stats and should aim for a different characteristic to its nature?
