Berry picking

Soft soil (Japanese: ふかふかのつち soft soil) is very fertile soil made of loam found in Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos where Berries are able to grow. In Generation III it is described as "loamy", while in Generation IV as "earthy".

After Berries are picked from a plant, the soil becomes loamy again. If Berries go unpicked, they will fall and replant themselves in the soft soil. However, they will only replant themselves a number of times before disappearing altogether, and the Berry originally planted will be completely lost. Players are unable to walk on these tiles.

Mulch

Main article: Mulch

In Generation IV and VI, Mulch can be used to control the way Berry plants can grow. Depending on the type of Mulch used, it can increase the yield or growth speed, or decrease the rate at which the soil dries out.

Locations

Kanto and Johto

There is no soft soil in the overworld in any games taking place in Kanto or Johto. However, in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the key item Berry Pots contain soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry plants with them anywhere.

Unova

There is no soft soil in the overworld in any games taking place in Unova. However, in the Pokémon Dream World—an online service which has since closed—players could plant Berries in their garden.

Kalos

Main article: Berry fields

In Pokémon X and Y, there are Berry fields off Route 7, where there are six rows of six spaces of soft soil for planting Berries. Mulch is also re-introduced, and can be created in composters in the fields. This is the only soft soil in the Kalos region.

Trivia

  • Surrounding the Abundant Shrine are mounds of soil, but Berries cannot be planted in these. Similarly to regular soft soil, the soil in the Abundant Shrine cannot be walked on. In Pokémon White and White 2, similar soil exists in Mistralton City near the runway.
