Confused about natures, which ones actually help which pokemon?

I get that natures raise one stat and lower another but I never know which to keep. For a physical attacker should I always want Adamant or Jolly? And are neutral natures ever worth keeping?

Every nature is +10% to one stat and -10% to another (five of them are neutral). So you raise the stat that pokemon uses most and drop the one it never uses. Physical attacker: Adamant (+Atk -SpA), or Jolly if speed matters more. Special attacker: Modest or Timid, which lower Attack. Tanks drop whichever attacking stat they don't use. Newer games also let you change it with mints.
