Cheek Pouch (Japanese: ほおぶくろ Cheek Pouch) is an Ability introduced in Generation VI. Three Pokémon can have this Ability.

Effect

In battle

Cheek Pouch restores 33% of the Pokémon's maximum HP when it consumes a Berry, after the effect of the Berry is applied.

Cheek Pouch activates even if the Pokémon eats another Pokémon's Berry via Bug Bite, Pluck or Fling, but only if the Berry is actually eaten for an effect (for example, eating a Payapa Berry via one of these moves will not trigger Cheek Pouch). Consuming a Berry through other means (such as Natural Gift, using Fling, or its Trainer giving it a Berry from the Bag) will not trigger Cheek Pouch.

Outside of battle

It is unknown if Cheek Pouch has an effect outside of battle.
