'''Flavor''' is a group of five attributes that all [[berries]], [[Pokéblock]]s, and [[Poffin]] have, in different amounts. Each flavor represents a specific [[contest]] [[condition]], and is liked and disliked by different Pokémon depending on their [[nature]]s. The flavor is also consistently liked or disliked depending on which stat is raised or lowered; for example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors will have a nature that raises their [[Stat#Attack|Attack]], while those that dislike spicy flavors will all have a nature that lowers their Attack. Every Pokémon will like and dislike a certain flavor unless their nature is Hardy, Docile, Serious, Bashful, or Quirky, in which case they will have no preference.

'''Flavor''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|味|あじ}}''' ''flavor'') is a special set of attributes that certain {{pkmn|food}}s in the [[Pokémon world]] have. The affected foods include {{Berries}}, [[Pokéblock]]s, [[Poffin]]s, [[Apricorn]]s, [[Apriblender|Aprijuice]], [[malasada]]s, and [[curry]]. There are five different flavors:
* '''Spicy''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|辛|から}}い''' ''spicy'')
* '''Dry''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|渋|しぶ}}い''' ''astringent'')
* '''Sweet''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|甘|あま}}い''' ''sweet'')
* '''Bitter''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|苦|にが}}い''' ''bitter'')
* '''Sour''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|酸|す}}っぱい''' ''sour'')
Most of the foods can have more than one flavor attributed to them.

The primary flavor mechanic is taste preferences: different Pokémon like and dislike different flavors, depending on their [[Nature]]. This usually influences the effectiveness of the food. The flavors that a Pokémon likes and dislikes correspond to the [[statistic|stat]] that its Nature raises or lowers. For example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors have a Nature that raises their {{stat|Attack}}, while those that dislike spicy flavors have a Nature that lowers it. Pokémon who have neutral Natures have no likes or dislikes.
|- style="background: #C0C0FF;"
 
! rowspan="2" | Flavor
Different flavors also represent different stats in most foods. For example, a Pokéblock that has a spicy flavor will raise a Pokémon's {{OBP|Cool|condition}} [[Contest condition|condition]]. When this is combined with the taste preference aspect, if a Pokémon dislikes spicy foods and is fed a Pokéblock that is predominantly spicy, its Cool condition will raise less than if a Pokémon that likes spicy foods was fed the same Pokéblock.

The flavor that a Pokémon likes or dislikes depends on its Nature, as shown in the table below. The liked and disliked flavors correspond to the stats each Nature raises and lowers.

==Stats associated with flavors==
The flavor of a food usually influences its effectiveness, but different foods generally affect different mechanics.

|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Affection]]
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | [[Malasada]]s
|}
 
With the exception of malasadas, the flavor or flavors present in a food also represent which stats will be raised.

{{cat|Berries that may cause confusion}} also have a unique interaction with flavors. In-battle, these Berries restore {{stat|HP}}, but if they are consumed by a Pokémon that dislikes the Berry's main flavor, the Pokémon will become {{status|confused}}. This is the only flavor-dependent mechanic that has been consistently carried forward since its introduction.
 
==List of Berries by flavor==
===Generation III===
When the player checks a Berry's tag, the flavors are indicated by a red circle around the name of each flavor.

==Similar mechanics==
In [[Generation V]], each Berry can make three different "flavors" of ice cream for the {{pkmn|Dream World}} mini-game {{DL|List of Pokémon Dream World mini-games|Ice Cream Scoop}}. Each flavor has different Scoop and Stickiness attributes.
In [[Generation VI]], Berries have [[Berry color|color groups]]. These color groups are used when growing Berries or making [[Juice Shoppe|Juice]] or [[Pokéblock]]s. {{g|X and Y}} have six color groups: red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and pink. {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} have five color groups: red, yellow, blue, green, and pink; each of these again correspond to a [[Contest condition]].
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the [[Herba Mystica]] come in five flavors. These flavors mostly match the five flavors in previous games, as do the colors mostly match those associated with contest conditions; the exception is that "dry" (blue) is replaced with "salty" (white). Additionally, all [[sandwich]] [[ingredient]]s have internal flavor values defined for these five flavors. When making a sandwich, the two most-prominent flavors in the ingredients used influence what type of [[Sandwich#Meal Powers|Meal Powers]] are obtained from eating it.
==Trivia==
* The bag descriptions of the {{b|Razz}}, {{b|Bluk}}, {{b|Nanab}}, {{b|Wepear}}, and {{b|Pinap}} Berries from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} to {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} state that they are spicy, dry, sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively, referencing their flavors in the Generation III and IV games.
** The reference in the Bluk Berry's description was not noticed, and as such, {{tt|渋|しぶ}}い was initially translated as "sour" instead of as "dry" as in previous games. This was fixed in Sword and Shield.

Bitter redirects here. For the Generation II Berry, see Bitter Berry.

Flavor (Japanese: flavor) is a special set of attributes that certain foods in the Pokémon world have. The affected foods include Berries, Pokéblocks, Poffins, Apricorns, Aprijuice, malasadas, and curry. There are five different flavors:

  • Spicy (Japanese: spicy)
  • Dry (Japanese: astringent)
  • Sweet (Japanese: sweet)
  • Bitter (Japanese: bitter)
  • Sour (Japanese: っぱい sour)

Most of the foods can have more than one flavor attributed to them.

The primary flavor mechanic is taste preferences: different Pokémon like and dislike different flavors, depending on their Nature. This usually influences the effectiveness of the food. The flavors that a Pokémon likes and dislikes correspond to the stat that its Nature raises or lowers. For example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors have a Nature that raises their Attack, while those that dislike spicy flavors have a Nature that lowers it. Pokémon who have neutral Natures have no likes or dislikes.

Different flavors also represent different stats in most foods. For example, a Pokéblock that has a spicy flavor will raise a Pokémon's Cool condition. When this is combined with the taste preference aspect, if a Pokémon dislikes spicy foods and is fed a Pokéblock that is predominantly spicy, its Cool condition will raise less than if a Pokémon that likes spicy foods was fed the same Pokéblock.

Although they use the word "bitter", herbal medicines have no connection with flavor mechanics.

Flavor preferences

The flavor that a Pokémon likes or dislikes depends on its Nature, as shown in the table below. The liked and disliked flavors correspond to the stats each Nature raises and lowers.

Flavor table
No preferences ↘ Disliked flavor
Spicy Dry Sweet Bitter Sour
Liked flavor Spicy Hardy Adamant Brave Naughty Lonely
Dry Modest Bashful Quiet Rash Mild
Sweet Timid Jolly Serious Naive Hasty
Bitter Calm Careful Sassy Quirky Gentle
Sour Bold Impish Relaxed Lax Docile

Stats associated with flavors

The flavor of a food usually influences its effectiveness, but different foods generally affect different mechanics.

Stat Food
Condition Berries, Pokéblocks, and Poffins
Performance Apricorns and Aprijuice
Affection Malasadas

With the exception of malasadas, the flavor or flavors present in a food also represent which stats will be raised.

Flavor Associated stat
Condition Performance
Spicy Coolness Power
Dry Beauty Skill
Sweet Cuteness Speed
Bitter Cleverness Jump
Sour Toughness Stamina

Berries that may cause confusion also have a unique interaction with flavors. In-battle, these Berries restore HP, but if they are consumed by a Pokémon that dislikes the Berry's main flavor, the Pokémon will become confused. This is the only flavor-dependent mechanic that has been consistently carried forward since its introduction.

Similar mechanics

In Generation V, each Berry can make three different "flavors" of ice cream for the Dream World mini-game Ice Cream Scoop. Each flavor has different Scoop and Stickiness attributes.

In Generation VI, Berries have color groups. These color groups are used when growing Berries or making Juice or Pokéblocks. Pokémon X and Y have six color groups: red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and pink. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have five color groups: red, yellow, blue, green, and pink; each of these again correspond to a Contest condition.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Herba Mystica come in five flavors. These flavors mostly match the five flavors in previous games, as do the colors mostly match those associated with contest conditions; the exception is that "dry" (blue) is replaced with "salty" (white). Additionally, all sandwich ingredients have internal flavor values defined for these five flavors. When making a sandwich, the two most-prominent flavors in the ingredients used influence what type of Meal Powers are obtained from eating it.

Trivia

  • The bag descriptions of the Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, and Pinap Berries from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Sword and Shield state that they are spicy, dry, sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively, referencing their flavors in the Generation III and IV games.
    • The reference in the Bluk Berry's description was not noticed, and as such, い was initially translated as "sour" instead of as "dry" as in previous games. This was fixed in Sword and Shield.
