Discover how to find, plant, and use Berries in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Learn about their effects, Pokeblock flavors, and how they aid your Pokémon in contests and battles.

Berries are scattered throughout Hoenn and can be found in various locations. When you pick up a Berry, you receive two. It's recommended to plant at least one Berry in soil and water it with the Wailmer Pail to cultivate new Berries over time, allowing for an endless supply.

While some Berries have no direct effect, all can be used to create Pokeblocks for feeding your Pokémon in contests. Matching your Pokémon's nature to the correct Berry flavors is crucial for achieving the best results.
