The berry glitch is a glitch in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire which seems to freeze the growth of any berries which have been planted but not harvested. The glitch typically occurs after about a year or so of owning either game, and is alleged by some to be the trigger for the Celebi glitch.

Patching

The glitch can be fixed by downloading a patch from Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen, or by sending the affected game to Nintendo.

  1. Load FireRed or LeafGreen until the title screen is displayed.
  2. Press the Select and B buttons. After the new screen loads, press A.
  3. Insert the Link Cable so that the FR/LG. device has the Player 1 cable port inserted and its counterpart has the Player 2 port. Once this is done, press A.
  4. Turn on the device with Ruby or Sapphire while holding the Start and Select buttons.
  5. Refer to the FR/LG display for further instructions. The patch should be transferred at this time.


Also, there are a few other known ways to get the patch, such as linking to the GameCube Bonus disc (The one that gets you Jirachi). If you are not patched when you try to get Jirachi, it patches your game before you get it. Template:Gamestub
