Pokemon Legends Arceus is known to be much different than previous Pokemon titles. This game will feature new game mechanics and settings we’ve never seen before but some things are staying the same. Berries have been in Pokemon games since Generation II and aren’t going anywhere with this title. Berries are making a reappearance but since combat is slightly different in Legends Arceus, the way we use berries might be as well.
What Are Berries?
You can find berries all over Hisui by shaking trees and from purchasing them at Ginko Guild shops usually found in villages. Berries can be fed to your Pokemon or thrown to a wild Pokemon. The effect depends on what type of berry you use. When used on your own Pokemon, usually these berries result in some sort of buff or healing effect. They can heal your Pokemon’s HP, change status conditions, and raise other stats such as attack and defense. When used on a wild Pokemon, it will distract them and draw their attention, allowing you to get a better shot of them.
All Berries in Pokemon Legends Arceus (so far)
The best information we have is this screenshot from a trailer showing the Ginko Guild shop. There are 5 confirmed berries and the 6th item in the image is unknown at the moment. This could be a berry or just another crafting material. There are most likely a lot more berries than what we see in trailers as Sword & Shield had more than 40 different kinds of berries with varying effects. This page will be updated as more information is found.
