In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], a larger number of new Berries were introduced, replacing the Berries of [[Generation II]] in name, but with the first ten of them retaining the same or similar functions.

Like in [[Generation I]], Kanto has no loamy soil, meaning no Berries can be grown in-game. Just the same, FireRed and LeafGreen lack an in-game clock, which keeps track of planted Berries' growth.

Berries (Japanese: きのみ Berry) are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. Many different kinds grow in the Pokémon world - particularly in Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
History
Berries were first introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions. The player could give their Pokémon items to hold that could affect battles. However, Pokémon cannot use Potions to restore themselves in battle. The reasoning behind this is that they don't know how to operate human-made things.
Berries, on the other hand, can be used by Pokémon. A Pokémon will automatically use a Berry in battle once its status changes, or its HP drops below a certain point - the activation of the Berry varies among them.
Generation II
In the Generation II games, Berries were very limited in their availability, as they could be picked from trees only once daily, and a new one would not grow back until midnight of the next day. Their use was not much different, with all ten having in-battle effects.
Generation III
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions, a larger number of new Berries were introduced, replacing the Berries of Generation II in name, but with the first ten of them retaining the same or similar functions. In addition to the battle-use Berries, some of the new ones which were introduced were stat enhancers that functioned similarly to items like X Attack, but most of the Berries introduced had no further use beyond making Pokéblocks for contests. These Berries also resemble real world fruit, in much the same way many Pokémon resemble real world animals. Also just like Pokémon, the Berries were also given unique attributes that are somewhat similar to their real world counterparts, as noted on their tags.
In addition, harvesting of Berries was also greatly changed in Generation III. They no longer grew regularly in certain places - rather, picking a set of Berries uprooted the plant. Berries had to be replanted in loamy soil for them to grow, and only when watered once per stage can they grow the maximum possible number of Berries. Many species of Berry also were given varied growing times, ranging from four hours to four days.
Unlike in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, which are set in Hoenn, Generation III games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions, Pokémon Colosseum, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness are set in Kanto for the former two and Orre for the latter two. Like in Generation I, Kanto has no loamy soil, meaning no Berries can be grown in-game. Just the same, FireRed and LeafGreen lack an in-game clock, which keeps track of planted Berries' growth. Orre lacks these as well, perhaps due to the fact that it would be too difficult to have programmed into the game with everything else. Thus, the only way to get Berries in these games is to find them, steal them from wild and opponents' Pokémon, or transfer them over from a Hoenn-based game held by a Pokémon being traded. In addition, Pickup and Kin Island's Berry Forest are locations where Berries can be found randomly.
Use out of battle
Unlike in Generation II, many Generation III Berries were able to be used for things other than being held by a Pokémon for use in a pinch. Specifically, in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, players could blend their Berries together with NPCs or other players to make Pokéblocks to increase a Pokémon's condition. The resulting Pokéblock would depend on the flavors of the Berries that went into the blender.
Six of the Berries introduced in Ruby and Sapphire were given different effects in Pokémon Emerald Version. Instead of being merely a Pokéblock ingredient, in Emerald the Template:B2, Template:B2, Template:B2, Template:B2, Template:B2, and Tamato Berries were able to lower effort values gained by a Pokémon in HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, respectively, and raise its happiness.
Generation IV
In Generation IV, the main set of Berries remained the same, however several more were added, this time ones that would act like a reverse type-enhancing held item, powering down an opponent's super effective move when it hit. Several Berries' growth times also changed, most notably that of the Tamato Berry, which was to make it grow in the same amount of time as the other EV Berries instead of Berries of a similar flavor. Instead of blending Berries now, they could be cooked together to make Poffin. Many Berries are also able to grow many more fruits than in Generation III, with a maximum of 15 Berries able to be harvested per plant.
In addition, many Berries could be traded for Accessories, making it so that none of them have no use besides Poffin-making.
