A Cheri Berry (Japanese: クラボのみKurabo Fruit) is a type of Berry. It was introduced in Generation III and is the first Berry numerically in both Hoenn and Sinnoh. It is the spiritual successor of the PRZCureBerry from Generation II, having an identical effect when used on or by a Pokémon. At a size of 0.8 inches (2 cm), it is also the smallest Berry.
If the holder is paralyzed, it will consume its held Cheri Berry and cure it of paralysis. When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, Bug Bite, or Item Urge, it also cures the consumer of paralysis.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures that Pokémon of paralysis. This consumes the Cheri Berry.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it can be used to cure a paralyzed Pokémon, or thrown near wild Pokémon to draw their attention.
Cheri Berries have a base Berry Powder of 20 and a difficulty of 50. With two players, this Berry will contribute 40 units of Berry Powder at 100% silkiness.

The Cheri Berry is available in Pokémon Sleep as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to Snorlax.
Effect
Cheri Berries raise Snorlax's Strength, doubling the effect if the Berry is Snorlax's favorite. The base amount of Strength raised by the Berry is determined by the level of the helper Pokémon that gathered it.
This bright red Berry is very spicy and has a provocative flavor. It blooms with delicate, pretty flowers.
Acquisition
Cheri Berries can be gathered by Fighting-type helper Pokémon in the player's team. Like all Berries in the game, gathered Cheri Berries do not go into the player's inventory and instead are immediately eaten by Snorlax.
In HZ027, Roy and Fuecoco picked some Cheri Berries to add spiciness to the curry they wanted to make, and were ultimately sucessful despite being the victims of theft by a group of Skwovet led by a Greedent.
