Mulch is a type of item introduced in Generation IV. Mulches are basically fertilizers used before planting Berries in loamy soil.

According to the lady in the Berry Master's house in Sinnoh, mulches are made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...you know...".

Mulches promote healthy Berry growth, and there are four types of mulch items:


Name Use
Growth Mulch Speeds up the growth of Berries. However, it also dries the soil faster.
Damp Mulch Slows the growth of Berries and causes the soil to dry slower.
Stable Mulch Extends the time ripened Berries remain on their plants before falling.
Gooey Mulch Ups the number of times new plants grow where mature plants withered.


The Growth Mulch halves the amount of time for Berry tree maturation, while the Damp Mulch doubles it. For instance, if a Bluk Berry is planted in loamy soil with Damp Mulch, it will bear fruit in 16 hours instead of 8, while if a Sitrus Berry is planted in loamy soil with Growth Mulch, it will also bear fruit after 16 hours, though instead of 32. In this way, more types of Berries can be planted that will mature at the same time.
