A Pumkin Berry (Japanese: カチャのみ Kacha Fruit) is a type of Berry exclusive to the Generation III games. It can only be acquired by scanning in the corresponding e-Reader card in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
In the core series games
Effect
Held item
If the holder is frozen, it will consume its Pumkin Berry and defrost them.
The player will not be permitted to enter the Pokémon Cable Club Trade Center if a Pokémon in their party is holding this Berry. A Pokémon holding this Berry cannot be traded to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, nor can it be stored in Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire.
If held by a Pokémon transferred through Pal Park to the Generation IV games, it will become an Enigma Berry.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures that Pokémon of its freeze. This consumes the Pumkin Berry.
