Rowap -> Rowan Plant

Not just the word "Rowan". This is because Japanese loanwords tend to contract loanwords. This also includes Pokémon (ポケモン, pokemon, short for pocket monster). Another example is motorcycle = オートバイ = ootobai, derived and contracted from motorbike.

Rowap = rowan plant = ロワップ (rowappu), shortened from ロワンプラント(rowanpuranto).

That's some nice research there. TTEchidna 21:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Damage?

How much recoil damage does the Jaboca Berry deal to a physical attacker? --JacobCrystal 04:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Rowan?

A reference to professor ROWAN, the D/P/Pt professor. -Sartharis, God of Twilight 23:59, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Not at all. Just spelled similarly. Frozen Fennec 00:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Damage to Allies

As seen in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ6VZLWhKaQ) at 11:45, this Berry is activated even if an ally attacks the holder. Is it safe to say it works this way in every generation? Hydroxybutyric (talk) 21:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
