Berries are an essential item in Hoenn, used for healing, status recovery, and most importantly, making Pokéblocks for Contests. You can find Berry plants scattered across various routes. Plant a Berry, water it regularly, and it will grow more Berries over time. Different Berries have different growth times and yields. Once you have a good collection, head to a Berry Blender (found in Contest Halls) to combine them into Pokéblocks. The type and level of the Pokéblock depend on the Berries used. Higher-level Pokéblocks boost your Pokémon's Contest stats more effectively. Experiment with different Berry combinations to create the perfect Pokéblocks for your Contest stars. This activity adds a layer of resource management and strategic planning.
While Hoenn requires manual watering and travel to grow crops, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon streamline this mechanic through the passive farming system found at Poké Pelago.
