Held item
Generations III-VI
A Mago Berry, when held by a Pokémon, will restore ⅛ of its maximum HP when its HP drops to ½ or below, but causes confusion to Pokémon that dislike the sweet flavor. (Specifically, it confuses Pokémon with Brave, Quiet, Sassy, or Relaxed Natures.) When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, or Bug Bite, it restores ⅛ of the consumer's maximum HP, and confuses any consumer that dislikes the sweet flavor.
Generation VII
A Mago Berry now restores ½ of the holder's HP when it drops to ¼ or below.
Generation VIII
The restored amount is decreased to ⅓ of the holder's HP. If the holder has Ripen, it will instead restore ⅔ of its maximum HP.

Pokémon Sleep

The Mago Berry is available in Pokémon Sleep as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to Snorlax.
Effect
Mago 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
|
Acquisition
Mago Berries can be gathered by Psychic-type helper Pokémon in the player's team. Like all Berries in the game, gathered Mago Berries do not go into the player's inventory and instead are immediately eaten by Snorlax.
