Berry
Berries are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. Many different kinds grow in the Pokémon world - particularly in Hoenn and Johto.
Berries were first introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver. The player could give their Pokémon items that would effect 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. It varies from Berry to Berry.
Pokémon Gold, Pokémon Silver, and Pokémon Crystal only had a handful of Berries available, and they were only obtainable in certain areas once daily.
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a larger number of new Berries were introduced. Some were for use in battle, but most were for making PokéBlocks - which could be fed to Pokémon to increase their chances of winning Pokémon Contests.
In addition, Berries were 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 and watered regularly for them to grow. Many species of Berry also were given varried growing times, ranging from four hours to four days.
Some Berries in Pokémon Emerald have effects that differ from other Generation III games.
Berries are available in limited supply in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as in Pokémon Colosseum - though they are not as common and widely available as they are in Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire or Pokémon Emerald because there is no way to plant or grow new Berries.
