Flavor

Flavor is a group of attributes that all Berries, Pokéblocks, Poffins, and Apricorns have.

In Generations III and IV, there are five flavors: spicy (Japanese: 辛い spicy), dry (Japanese: 渋い astringent), sweet (Japanese: 甘い sweet), bitter (Japanese: 苦い bitter), and sour (Japanese: 酸っぱい sour). Each flavor represents a specific contest condition and Pokéathlon performance stat, and is liked and disliked by different Pokémon depending on their Natures. 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 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. However, bitter herbal medicine, as well as sweet Honey and the move Sweet Scent, ignore flavor preferences.

In Generation V, Berries instead have Scoop and Stickiness attributes for the Dream World mini-game Ice Cream Scoop.

In Generation VI, the original five flavors have been replaced by flavors based on the Berry's color. Pokémon X and Y have six flavors: red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and pink. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have five flavors: red, yellow, blue, green, and pink; each of these again correspond to a contest condition.

Trivia

• The bag descriptions of the Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, and Pinap Berries in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire state that they are spicy, sour, sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively, referencing their previous flavors in the Generation III and IV games.
  • The reference in the Bluk Berry's description was not noticed, and as such, 渋い was translated as "sour" instead of as "dry" as in previous games.
• In generation III, total of all flavor attributes is always 0.
