'''Mulch''' (Japanese: '''こやし''' ''Fertilizer'') is a type of item introduced in [[Generation IV]]. | '''Mulch''' (Japanese: '''こやし''' ''Fertilizer'') is a type of item introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Mulch may be used before planting {{Berries}} in [[soft soil]] to promote healthy Berry growth in various ways. Mulch has no use in {{pkmn|battle}} (aside from being thrown with {{m|Fling}}, in which case the move will have 30 [[Power]]). | ||
If more than one Mulch is spread on one patch of soil, only the effect of the most recently used one will apply. According to the lady in the [[Berry Master]]'s house in Sinnoh, Mulch is made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...{{wp|Manure|you know}}..." | |||
Mulch can be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on {{rt|208|Sinnoh}}, or in the {{DL|Goldenrod City|Goldenrod Flower Shop}} after acquiring the {{key|IV|Berry Pots}}. | |||
Due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in the [[Unova]] region and the fact that the Berry Pots are not obtainable, Mulch became a valuable item in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Mulch can be sold to a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} at the end of [[Mistralton City]]'s runway for {{pdollar}}1000 each. | |||
In {{g|X and Y}}, Mulch can be acquired from one of the [[Berry fields]] composters. By putting in different combinations of Berries, different kinds of Mulch can be produced. If traded to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mulch cannot be used, as the soil is unsuitable for Mulch. | |||

Mulch (Japanese: こやし Fertilizer) is a type of item introduced in Generation IV. Mulch may be used before planting Berries in soft soil to promote healthy Berry growth in various ways. Mulch has no use in battle (aside from being thrown with Fling, in which case the move will have 30 Power).
If more than one Mulch is spread on one patch of soil, only the effect of the most recently used one will apply. According to the lady in the Berry Master's house in Sinnoh, Mulch is made "by mixing high-grade soil with Pokémon...um...you know..."
Mulch can be bought from the girl in the Berry Master's house on Route 208, or in the Goldenrod Flower Shop after acquiring the Berry Pots.
Due to the lack of soft soil in the Unova region and the fact that the Berry Pots are not obtainable, Mulch became a valuable item in Pokémon Black and White. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Mulch can be sold to a Pokémon Breeder at the end of Mistralton City's runway for $1000 each.
In Pokémon X and Y, Mulch can be acquired from one of the Berry fields composters. By putting in different combinations of Berries, different kinds of Mulch can be produced. If traded to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Mulch cannot be used, as the soil is unsuitable for Mulch.
