Mulch (Japanese: こやし Fertilizer) is a type of item introduced in Generation IV. Mulches are basically fertilizers used before planting Berries in loamy soil.
According to the lady in the Berry Master's house in Sinnoh, mulch is made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...you know...".
Mulches promote healthy Berry growth, and there are four types of mulch items:
| Sprite | Name | Use | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| File:Growth Mulch sprite.png | Growth Mulch | Speeds up the growth of Berries. However, it also dries the soil faster. | $200 |
| File:Damp Mulch.png | Damp Mulch | Slows the growth of Berries and causes the soil to dry slower. | $200 |
| File:Stable Mulch sprite.png | Stable Mulch | Extends the time ripened Berries remain on their plants before falling. | $200 |
| File:Gooey Mulch sprite.png | Gooey Mulch | Ups the number of times new plants grow where mature plants withered. | $200 |
The Growth Mulch lowers the amount of time for Berry tree maturation to 75% of the normal time, while the Damp Mulch raises it to 125% of the time. For instance, if a Bluk is planted in loamy soil with Damp Mulch, it will bear fruit in 10 hours instead of 8, while if a Sitrus is planted in loamy soil with Growth Mulch, it will bear fruit after 24 hours, instead of 32. Using these two mulches, it is therefore possible to cause some Berries with different growth times to grow in the same amount of time.
