Berries were introduced in Generation II to take advantage of the then-new held items feature, which allows a Pokémon to hold and use specific items in battle. The standard Generation I items, such as Potions and Full Heals, are man-made; this means that Pokémon do not know how to use them if they hold these items. Instead, ten different Berries were created that Pokémon could use automatically during battle, with effects analogous to the man-made healing items.

While these Berries no longer exist, having been replaced by the new system in Generation III, their basic effects are inherited by the first ten Berries introduced in Hoenn.
