Yeah Lonely on a Mamoswine sounds good, but you only get 1 maybe 2 shots in before it is KOed

Speak for yourself. Battling competively is actually pretty fun and this stuff does matter for that. In game who cares, though.

generally

The only natures you should consider are those that lower attack or special attack. If you have a mixed attacker, then possibly lower one of the defenses. Also speed in certain cases

Besides things that won't survive two hits to begin with (shedinja being the best example), you're correct, they're almost never used.

stop telling people the "right" way to enjoy video games

But yeah not all minus defense natures are useless. Any mixed attackers will want to lower a defensive stat instead of one of their offenses.

The true useless natures are +one defense -the other defense (Lax and Gentle).

Not really.

Lots of all-out attacking Pokemon specialized on Spd would like such natures, considering their defense is already too flimsy to properly survive even one decent 1x hit so might as well forget about it entirely.

And if this isn't competitive/post-game, then natures literally don't matter in the slightest.
