Introduction | Growing and Maintaining Berries | List of Berries and Effects
Introduction Back to Top
 
Sometimes, on your Pokémon journey, you may come across some strange looking trees, planted in what seems like soil. Well, these aren't just normal trees, but they are actually trees that contain berries! What exactly are berries?
 
In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, berries were introduced as a way to cure status ailments or HP. This idea continued into the third and fourth generations, and now berries have a wide variety of uses. For example, some affect EVs (more information here), others restore HP, and still others reduce the effects of super-effective attacks.
 

Berries are found in areas where there is a patch of soil, such as the one in the image to your left. These patches are scattered all over routes and cities. Sometimes characters such as the Berry Master give you berries too. Finally, Pokémon, both yours and wild, can pick up berries randomly while walking around. However, once you pick a berry from the soil, it is gone forever! That is why you grow them, because you can always make more berries with a little water and patience. 
Growing and Maintaining Berries Back to Top
 
Growing berries is a way to produce more berries from a single berry. To do this though, you first need a water pail. The name of the water pail and its location is listed below.

Pokémon RSE | Wailmer Pail - Pretty Petal Flower Shop (Route 104)
Pokémon DPPt | Sprayduck - Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop (Floaroma Town)
Pokémon HGSS | Berry Planter - Route 36 (Woman next to Sudowoodo)
 
Unlike Pokémon RSE and DPPt, in Pokémon HGSS, you do not have soil to plant the berries, but instead there is a key item called the Berry Planter where you keep the berries. The process is however very similar to planting berries in soil.
 

Once you find a location with soil (or a Berry Planter), you can plant a berry. If you don't have any berries to start with, you can always find some from wild Pokémon, or unpicked berry trees scattered around.
 
Once you plant the berry, you need to water it frequently, just like a real plant. The more you water, the less dry the soil is, and berries are produced. However, don't over water the berries, as it has the same bad effects!

 
Berries grow in four different stages: seedling, sprout, flowering, and fruition. Each stage lasts the same amount of time, but this amount differs for each berry. To find out how long each berry takes in each stage, refer to the table here.
 
The growth rate can be changed however, by using fertilizers. These are found in Pokémon DPPt and can be bought from the Berry Master in Route 208 (in DPPt only). Their cost and effects are listed below.
 

Damp Mulch (200P) Causes berries to grow slower at 1.25 times the normal growth rate. Also causes the soil to dry slower.

Gooey Mulch (200P) Increases the number of times that unpicked berries will fall off and regrow.

Growth Mulch (200P) Causes berries to grow faster at 3/4 times the normal growth rate. Also causes soil to dry faster.

Stable Mulch (200P) Increases the time unpicked berries will stay on the berry tree without falling off.
 
 
It may be hard keeping track of berries, so in Pokémon DPPt, you can use the Pokétch App #8 in order to find out where you've planted your berries.
 
If you choose to neglect your berries, then come back to pick them, most likely you will find only one berry on the tree. If you don't even bother picking the berry, the berry tree will die and the berry will fall back into the soil and regrow. This will happen a couple of times, and more if you use the Gooey Mulch
 
However, after some regrowths, there will be no more, and your berry will be gone forever. So - don't ignore your berry plants!
