An Enigma Berry (Japanese: ナゾのみ Nazo Fruit) is a type of Berry introduced in Generation III. In Generation III, it refers to the Berries that can only be obtained by scanning Pokémon Battle e cards with the e-Reader. In Generation IV, it became a normal Berry, but retained its rarity. In Generation V, it can also be found as a Battle Subway NPC partner's occasional held item.

Effect

e-Reader

In the Generation III games, the term "Enigma Berry" is used to refer collectively to all of the Berries that can be obtained in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire by scanning the Pokémon Battle e Berry cards with the e-Reader. These include the Pumkin, Drash, Eggant, Strib, Chilan, and Nutpea Berries in Pokémon Battle e: Series 1, and the Japan-exclusive Ginema, Kuo, Yago, Touga, Niniku, and Topo Berries in Pokémon Battle e: Series 2.

After an Enigma Berry card is scanned for the first time, the player can obtain one Berry from Norman at the Petalburg Gym. This can be repeated if an Enigma Berry card is scanned again, and the player has no e-Reader Berries in the Bag or PC when talking to him. If the player scans another card, all instances of that Berry in the game (including in the Bag, in the PC, held by a Pokémon, or planted in soft soil) are transformed into the new Berry. Existing Berry plants that have not yet fruited will reflect the new Berry's growth rate and yield after reaching their next stage of growth.

If held by a Pokémon transferred through Pal Park to the Generation IV games, it will become an Enigma Berry, regardless of which card was scanned.

In most cases, the Berry will use the name specified by the Enigma Berry card, such as in the Bag or while Berry Blending. However, there are some cases where its name will be displayed as "Enigma Berry" instead: when a held Berry is shown in the ^P_K^M_N Data view of the Pokémon Storage System, and when a Berry is held or consumed by another player's Pokémon in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum.

Due to an oversight, the Japanese version of Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire allows Pokémon holding these Berries to be deposited in Pokémon Box and withdrawn to another game. If the receiving game has never scanned an Enigma Berry card, it will use the default placeholder data for the Enigma Berry, which is otherwise never used in normal gameplay. This was patched in the Western versions of Pokémon Box.

Held item

Generation III

In the Generation III games, an Enigma Berry cannot be stolen by Thief or Covet, or exchanged by Trick.

The player will not be permitted to enter the Pokémon Cable Club Trade Center, the Pokémon Wireless Club Union Room, or the Pokémon Wireless Club Direct Corner 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 the Western versions of Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire.

Generation IV onward

An Enigma Berry restores ¼ of the holder's max HP when the Pokémon is hit by a super effective move.

When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, Bug Bite, or Item Urge, it restores ¼ of the holder's max HP.
