Berry

This article is about the class of item. For the held item that heals 10 HP in Generation II, see Berries (Generation II).

Berries (Japanese: きのみ Berries) are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. As in the real world, a large variety exists in the Pokémon world, with a large range of flavors, names, and effects. First found in the Generation II games, many Berries have since become critical held items in battle, where their various effects include HP and status ailment restoration, stat enhancement, and even damage negation.

In Generation II

A Berry tree in Gold, Silver and Crystal

In their introductory generation, Berries were somewhat hard to obtain, with a very limited amount of trees scattered across the Kanto and Johto regions, each giving out only one Berry of one of the ten types each day. Berries regenerated at midnight every day, and could be picked at any time. Wild Pokémon often held Berries, while several could be won as prizes in certain competitions. Apricorns are seen by many as similar to these Berries, in regards to their maturity time, availability, and other aspects.

List of Berries

Main article: Berries (Generation II)

The main Berry list from Generation II incorporated several functions of different healing items into the group of ten Berries. The names were simplistic, often describing only what the Berry itself did, with names like PRZCureBerry and PSNCureBerry standing out to many.

Name	Effect
Berry	Restores 10 HP
Gold Berry	Restores 30 HP
MysteryBerry	Restores 5 PP
MiracleBerry	Cures any status ailment
Mint Berry	Cures sleep
Burnt Berry	Cures freeze
Ice Berry	Cures burn
Bitter Berry	Cures confusion
PRZCureBerry	Cures paralysis
PSNCureBerry	Cures poison

In Generation III

Much as other aspects of the Pokémon franchise received their most major updates in the transition from Generation II to Generation III, the Berry system was completely overhauled in Generation III. Each of the Berries introduced in Generation III was given a number, not unlike the Pokédex numbers given to Pokémon, with the first ten in this ordering system having identical or nearly-identical effects to the Berries of Generation II. Several more Berries, found at the end of the listing, are extremely rare, with effects similar to items like X Attack. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into Pokéblocks for Contests. In the same way most Pokémon resemble real-world animals, these Berries typically resemble real-world fruit (though not all fruit represented are Berries, botanically or in common parlance, in real life). Descriptive tags detail some of their traits, much like a Pokédex entry, which are often shared with their real-world counterparts.

While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time. The Berry plant will sparkle when it changes stages. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of soft soil where another Berry could be planted.

This soft soil only exists in Hoenn, however, and is not present in the Kanto or Orre regions. Thus, in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Berries that the player obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in FireRed and LeafGreen. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the Sevii Islands' Berry Forest, where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and regenerate themselves.

Beginning in this generation, Berries are typically grouped in "families". This is an unofficial term for a group of five Berries that have the same growth period and similar flavoring distributions (such as Razz, which is mostly spicy but somewhat dry, and Bluk, which is mostly dry but somewhat sweet).

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, Berries can be ground up into Berry Powder, which can be exchanged for herbal medicine or vitamins in Cerulean City or Slateport City.

In Pokémon Emerald, a further advancement came to the Berry system, though only slightly. Six Berries, previously only usable to make Pokéblocks, were given an additional use. The Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, and Tamato Berries, formerly useless outside of the Contest circuit, now became known by fans as "EV Berries", as they now lowered the effort values gained by a Pokémon in battle while raising its friendship.

List of Berries

The Generation III Berry list has its core in the first ten Berries in order, with the ones coming last in sequence being among the most rare and sought after for their in-battle effect. A majority of these Berries are used solely for Pokéblock making, falling between those with other effects in the listing.

e-Reader Berries

The following Berries exist only in the games if the specific e-Reader card is swiped while the e-Reader is linked to a Ruby or Sapphire game cartridge. These Berries cannot be traded to other Generation III games, and if held by a Pokémon sent to Generation IV through Pal Park, it will become an Enigma Berry when the Pokémon is recaught. As the e-Reader's lifespan was much shorter than expected by Nintendo, only two series of these special Berry e-cards were released, the first both in Japan and internationally, and the second only in Japan.

In Generation IV

Dawn poses with her Razz and Bluk trees

Much like most other aspects of Generation III, Berries remained very much the same in Generation IV, with the main set of 43 carried over to the new games. The e-Reader Berries, perhaps due to their relative obscurity and exclusivity to Ruby and Sapphire (as the e-Reader was incompatible with the international releases of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald), are not present in this generation, though one of them shares its name in all languages with one of the newly-introduced Berries.

A total of 21 new Berries were introduced in Generation IV, with 16 of them weakening super effective moves used on the holder, one for each type, and one weakening any Normal-type move used on the holder. The remaining four are exclusive to events, being held by event Pokémon given out in conjunction with the first three Diamond & Pearl series movies. This brings the total amount of Berries to 64.

Several Berries' growth times were changed in Generation IV, most notably that of the Tamato Berry, which formerly grew in the same amount of time as the others in its flavor group, now grows in the same amount of time as the rest of the EV Berries. Other Berries whose growth times changed remained with the same growth times as the rest of their flavor group. Many Berries also received edits to their tree styles, with different palettes used to give each tree a more unique appearance, rather than the similar appearance several, most notably Razz and Bluk, had.

In addition to the base growth time changes, caring for Berries now involves maintaining moist soil. When first planted, the soil will be fully moist. Each hour, the Berry plant will lose moisture based on its drying rate, turning orange when half dry, and sandy when completely dry. Watering a Berry plant makes it completely moist again.

Special mulch was introduced that could be spread over a patch of soft soil to alter the growth rate, drying rate, the length of time Berries stay on the plant, and then number of times the plant will regrow. This mulch is available only at the Berry Master's house in Sinnoh or at the flower shop in Goldenrod City in Johto.

Like how Berries were most used in Generation III to make Pokéblocks, in Generation IV Berries are used to make Poffin, which achieves a similar condition-enhancing effect. Aside from this, those which have no in-battle effect can be traded in for Accessories to be used to dress up Pokémon for Super Contests and pictures.

While in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, soft soil could be found in most places in Sinnoh, much like in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, no soft soil exists in Johto or Kanto, visited in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The Berry Pots, however, hold four portable patches of soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry trees with them anywhere.

List of Berries

The Generation IV Berry list is exactly the same as the Generation III list, but with all Berries falling after Belue moved back 17 places, to accommodate the type-resistant Berries. The other four event Berries are added to the end, after the Enigma Berry. All Berries now have some in-battle or out-of-battle use, but can also be used to make Poffins.

In Generation V

Mew visiting the Dream World Garden, where a blooming Sitrus tree can be spotted.

Unlike most games since Ruby and Sapphire, when the mechanic of growing Berries was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant and grow Berries in Unova. Berries cannot be transferred from another region using the Poké Transfer, but some wild Unova Pokémon (like Minccino) can be found holding them, and the player may obtain them as gifts from NPCs or Trainers (such as Pokémon Rangers), or purchase them from Florist shops at Join Avenue in Black 2 and White 2.

Players may plant Berries in the Pokémon Dream World using the garden found in the area to the left of their Dream World home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. As the player accumulates Dream Points Diglett will show up to expand the garden by plowing a new row (starting with a third row added at 900 points), up to a maximum of ten rows.

As with Generation IV, the Berry plots require watering or they will dry out; a player can water their own Berries as often as needed (any time the garden soil is not described as "very moist"), and when visiting another player's home may water their Berries as well (up to 20 times for each voyage to the Dream World). This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counterbalance to the slower growth rate. Berry plants never die and resprout in the Dream World—they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.

Berries may be sold to an item maniac on Route 5 for various amounts, depending on the kind of Berry. This is also the sole use for Berries that do not serve a purpose in battles.

• Berries that can be sold for $30000 include: Lansat, Starf, Enigma, Micle, Custap, Jaboca, and Rowap.
• Berries that can be sold for $500 include: Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, Pinap, Cornn, Magost, Rabuta, Nomel, Spelon, Pamtre, Watmel, Durin, and Belue.
• Berries that can be sold for $20 include any Berry not listed above.

Within the Dream World, combinations of Berries can be traded for Décor.

If the bag is sorted, it uses the same order of Berries in Generation IV except that all Berries that do not serve a purpose are moved to the end of the list.

Proper care of Berry plants

After a Berry is planted in soft soil, a player can ignore it until it bears fruit, which will often yield more Berries than initially planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing times, watering it, and picking it when it bears fruit so as to reap the benefit.

In Generation III

In general, plants must be watered at least once per growth period in order to get the maximum yield. When a plant is fully-grown, the player has an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the plant to pick the Berry; otherwise the plant will return to its "sprouting" stage. This can be done up to 9 times (for a total of 10 plantings) before the plant is permanently lost.

Formula

File:Berry Math Formula.png

Berry formula

The formula that the games use to decide how many fruits a specific Berry tree will bear is to the right of the page. This formula is calculated as follows:

• a is the maximum number of Berries that can appear on the plant
• b is the minimum number of Berries that can appear on the plant
• c is a number randomly chosen between a and b, inclusive
• d is the number of growth stages during which the plant was watered

This formula is only used if the player has watered the plant at least once during its growth. If the plant is left to its own devices, it will always bear the minimum number of fruit.

Stages

After they are planted in soft soil, all Berries have four stages of growth, which they will assume after a quarter, half, and three quarters of their full growth time has passed since their planting. Specific messages are associated with specific growth times, and will be displayed if the player checks the plant.

Tree	Time	Generation III message	Generation IV message
	00:00 - 11:59	One Lum Berry was planted here.	A Lum Berry was planted here.
	12:00 - 23:59	Lum has sprouted.	The Lum Berry has sprouted.
	24:00 - 35:59	This Lum plant is growing taller.	The Lum Berry plant is growing bigger.
	36:00 - 47:59	These Lum flowers are blooming cutely/prettily/very beautifully.	This Lum Berry plant is in bloom!
	48:00 - 96:00	There are (number) Lum Berries!	There are (number) Lum Berries!
Note that all times are for the Lum Berry with no mulch

In Generation IV

The Razz plant has very dry soil; it has not been watered since it sprouted. The Bluk plant has dry soil; it has not been watered since it was growing taller. The Nanab plant has just been watered.

The mechanics of Berry growth was expanded in Generation IV, where it is no longer sufficient to water a plant in each stage of growth for some Berries (conversely, for some Berries it is sufficient to water every two stages of growth). This is due to a new moisture mechanic introduced in these games.

Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100. When a Berry is planted or watered, the moisture rating will be reset to 100. Every hour afterwards, the moisture rating is deducted by a value specific to the Berry that is planted; this value is increased by 50% with the Growth Mulch and decreased by 50% with the Damp Mulch. Should the moisture rating be 0 when this occurs, however, the maximum yield of the plant is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 2). Players are given a visual indication of the moisture rating of the plant, as the soil will lighten once the moisture rating falls below 50, and will appear to be dry once the moisture rating is 0.

As with Generation III, players have an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the Berry before a fully-grown plant returns to its "sprouting stage". This time is raised by 50% if the player uses Stable Mulch. The use of Gooey Mulch will allow a total of 14 resproutings (for a total of 15 plantings) instead of 9 before the plant is permanently lost.

In Generation VI

Main article: Berry fields

In Pokémon X and Y, Berry farming is managed from one location: A Berry farm located just south of Kalos Route 7. The field contains six rows with six plots each, allowing the player to cultivate a large number of Berry plants at once. It also contains two composters, into which the player can insert combinations of three Berries to acquire Mulch with varying effects on Berry growth.

There are now 6 stages of growth between planting a Berry and its harvest:

• Stage 0: This is where you planted the (name of Berry)!
• Stage 1: (Berry) is sprouting!
• Stage 2: (Berry) seedling is growing well!
• Stage 3: (Berry) tree's trunk is getting bigger!
• Stage 4: (Berry) tree has buds!
• Stage 5: (Berry) tree is in bloom!
• Stage 6: (Berry) tree has (number) berries!

The player can estimate a tree's Berry yield as soon as it starts budding, based on the number of buds or blossoms it shows.

In addition to watering, two new factors that can affect Berry yield are introduced: Weeds frequently grow around planted Berries, and once a tree starts budding Bug Pokémon may infest the tree (indicated by the tree shaking); both of these require investigation and removal for optimum Berry yield.

Occasionally, planting different types of Berries in adjacent plots may result in a spontaneous mutation, with one Berry on the tree(s) being a different variety than planted; for example, cultivating Oran and Pecha Berries next to each other may yield Qualot Berries in addition to the expected Oran and Pecha Berries. The first time this occurs, a scientist will arrive to document the phenomenon, and will remain on the farm to record any additional mutations the player discovers (when the player speaks to them).

In the PokéPark series

A Berry from PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.

In PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, Berries are used as a form of currency to pay for Attractions or training. One can earn Berries by clearing Skill Games or by earning the Bonus in an Attraction. When found on the field, green Berries are worth 10, red Berries are worth 50, and golden Berries are worth 100. There also exists a Big Berry, which some Pokémon desire to eat. They will become friends with Pikachu if one is carried to them. One Pokémon that eats Big Berries is Munchlax.

Berries return as a form of currency in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, with minor changes. Attractions are now free, but now items can be bought and sold for Berries, and other Pokémon will give the player Berries upon befriending, often as a token for beating them in certain challenges. Pokémon can also be re-challenged after befriending them, and they will continue to give the player Berries provided the player continues to win. On the field, Green Berries are worth 1, Red Berries are worth 30, and Gold Berries are worth 100. Big Berries are replaced by Stinkberries, which displease most Pokémon (including the one carrying it), but Munchlax loves them.

In the TCG

Berries were introduced in the Trading Card Game in the Neo Genesis expansion, released shortly after Pokémon Gold and Silver themselves. All of them are Pokémon Tools, a special subclass of Trainer card that may be attached to a Pokémon in play, much in the same way that items can be held by Pokémon in the games. Most of the TCG Berries are in fact Berries from the games, however, several of them are unique to the TCG.

There are also Basic Pokémon cards that have Berries as held items, which were introduced in the Mysterious Treasures expansion. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.

Berry cards Cards listed with a blue background are only legal to use in the current Expanded format. Cards listed with a green background are legal to use in both the current Standard and Expanded formats.

In the anime

A pink Rhyhorn eating a Pinkan Berry

In the anime, while several ordinary fruits from the real world have and continue to be featured, Berries have appeared on occasion as well, suggesting that the Berries are not the only fruit in the Pokémon world. Additionally, the Berries that have made an appearance in the games are not the only Berries featured. Pinkan Berries appeared, central to the plot of In the Pink, where they had the amazing property of changing a Pokémon's coloration completely to pink, and due to the rarity of strangely-colored Pokémon, only grew on an isolated island in the Orange Archipelago that was kept secret to prevent poachers from stealing Pokémon who lived there. A Snover was also shown to grow Berries on its body in The Lonely Snover!, though they had no strange effects when consumed by humans or Pokémon. Rinka Berries were central to the plot in the Pikachu short PK23. These Berries were said to clear one's throat and restore the consumer's voice.
