Used on a Pokémon

Using this Berry on a Pokémon outside of battle increases it's friendliness, however, it will lower it's Attack Effort values by ten points. If this side effect would lower the effort value of the affected stat below zero, it sets that stat's effort values to zero instead. Individual values are not changed.

Giving this Berry to a Pokémon during battle or to hold during battle has no useful effect.
