83 BerriesGen 2–7Updated NOV 11, 2026

Pokémon Berries

Most Pokémon Berries get eaten on their own mid-battle as soon as something sets them off, like low HP or a burn. Plenty never do: the EV-lowering Berries and Pokéblock ingredients do nothing while held. And Figy and its relatives have had three different healing amounts.

All 83 Berries

Restore HP

7

Sitrus heals a quarter of max HP from Gen 4 on, where Gen 3 gave a flat 30. The Figy group can confuse a Pokémon if its Nature lowers the matching stat.

Berries by game

Top picks

Best Berries to give your Pokémon

Eight Berries worth a held slot from Gen 3 on, best first. Each row names a Pokémon that runs it.

  1. 1

    Cures any statusUsed on Volcarona

    Any status or confusion, cured the turn it lands.

  2. 2

    +25% HP at ½ HPUsed on Azumarill

    No Ability, type or Nature has to line up for it to work.

  3. 3

    +1 SpeedUsed on Horsea

    Speed +1 at a quarter HP. With Gluttony it kicks in at half.

  4. 4

    Moves first onceUsed on Araquanid

    Down to a quarter HP, the holder moves first once, even against faster foes in its priority bracket.

  5. 5

    Cures sleepUsed on Zygarde

    Eaten the instant the holder falls asleep, and the sleep is gone.

  6. 6

    +⅓ HP at ¼ HPUsed on Wash Rotom

    A third of max HP at 1/4 HP in current games. Natures that lower Sp. Atk get confused.

  7. 7

    ½ Dark hitUsed on Mew

    Halves one super-effective Dark hit. Worth a look on Psychic and Ghost types.

  8. 8

    +10 HPUsed on Drifloon

    Here for low-level sets, where a flat 10 HP still matters.

Today’s Berries start in Gen 3, so the Gen 2 names like Miracleberry aren’t ranked.

Type-resist Berries

One Berry for every type

Each type has one Berry, and it halves a single super-effective hit. Chilan is the odd one: nothing’s weak to Normal, so it works on any Normal hit.
