Berries

Berries can be grown in the Farm to earn Farm Points. You can trade certain berries for Masterballs, Protein, and other Evolution Items at Berry Master shops. The Sprayduck, Squirtbottle, and Sprinklotad are all Oak Items that speed up or otherwise improve the process of growing berries.

Some Berries require mutation or planting Berries according to specific conditions to be unlocked. The Berry Master NPC found at Cerulean City in Kanto provides hints on how to trigger mutations. Certain mutations depend on flavor profiles, specific types of berries, or other factors, some of which are outside of the Farm.

Farms with at least one ripe Berry can attract Wandering Pokémon that are automatically caught without the use of a Pokéball. Some Berries can attract rare Pokémon and can thus be used strategically to complete the Pokédex. Wandering Pokémon can also be shiny, attracting a shiny Wandering Pokémon when the Farm has at least one empty plot is the condition for a Starf Berry to spawn on the Farm (in one of the empty plots).

Here is a Walkthrough for unlocking all of the Farm Slots in order.

=Growth Charts=

Berries can start mutating once they are in the Berry stage (fully Ripe) until they die. For mutations involving flavor requirements, the mutation can happen at any time after the requirements are met (berries have 0.5x flavor in the "grown" stage, 0.75x flavor in the "bloom" stage, and 1x flavor in the "berry" stage). If the conditions for multiple mutations are met simultaneously, the mutation triggered will be random as well.

Gen 5 Berries
Note: The minimum harvest amount for any berry is 1. If the harvest amount is less than 1, you will still get at least 1. However, having a harvest amount of less than 1 affects how many berries you get from Rich Mulch and Passho berries. For example, with Rich Mulch and surrounded by 8 Passho berries, a Maranga will yield 16 berries, but a Liechi will only yield 8 berries.

=Special Abilities (Auras)=

Some berries have special abilities, also called Auras. These auras often affect other berry growth and mutation, but others may affect other sections of the game. These auras are frequently used to help players find shiny pokémon or breed more efficiently. Here is a list of berry auras. The Enigma berry has a unique effect which is better explained on its page.
