In spin-off games

Pokémon Sleep

Persim Berry in Pokémon Sleep

The Persim Berry is available in Pokémon Sleep as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to Snorlax.

Effect

Persim Berries raise Snorlax's Strength, doubling the effect if the Berry is Snorlax's favorite. The base amount of Strength raised by the Berry is determined by the level of the helper Pokémon that gathered it.

Note

Games Description
Sleep The more this Berry absorbs energy from sunlight, the more vividly colorful it grows.

Acquisition

Persim Berries can be gathered by Normal-type helper Pokémon in the player's team. Like all Berries in the game, gathered Persim Berries do not go into the player's inventory and instead are immediately eaten by Snorlax.

Trivia

  • Despite the relationship of this berry to the Bitter Berry from Generation II, both being the Berries that cured confusion, the Persim Berry is not actually bitter. In Generation IV and VIII, bitterness is actually the only flavor that the Persim Berry does not have.

Origin

The Persim Berry's design and name may be based on persimmons.
