Confuses the holder (for a duration of 256 turns) and raises its Attack by 2 stages as soon as it enters battle. It is consumed upon use.
The Berserk Gene is consumed even if the holder is already confused or already has +6 Attack stages when it enters battle (due to Baton Pass). If a confused Pokémon is switched out and replaced by a Pokémon holding a Berserk Gene, the holder will be confused for the remaining duration of the first Pokémon's confusion, rather than for 256 turns.

Trivia
- In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, wild Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a Berserk Gene, but since Mewtwo can't be found in the wild in those games, the item cannot be obtained that way.
