May with a Wailmer Pail

A watering can (Japanese: じょうろ watering can) is an item that allows a user to water Berry plants in the Pokémon world. In the games, they are always Key Items.

In the core series games

In the core series games, watering cans have been used for two purposes: watering Berries and displacing Sudowoodo in the overworld. All watering cans have these same two effects, although Berries cannot be watered in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and Sudowoodo only appears as an overworld obstacle in Johto and Pokémon Emerald.

Each region has its own design of watering can, each based on a different species of Pokémon.

There is no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

Professor Oak used a Squirt Bottle in I Choose You!, watering a Bellsprout and an Oddish with it. In The Road Most Traveled!, Delia used a Squirt Bottle to water her flowers. Prior to Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Squirt Bottles in the anime were depicted with legs, unlike in the games.

A Wailmer Pail appeared in The Lotad Lowdown. It was used by Rita to water her Berries in the Pretty Petal flower shop.

A Sprayduck was briefly seen in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan, where it was used by Forsythia and her Roserade to water the plants around her house. It made a brief cameo along with Forsythia in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!. Another Sprayduck was used by an Aroma Lady during the opening of Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
