Berry Fields are locations for where to plant and farm Berry trees. Tending to these trees vary from generation to generation.
In Generation III[]
Throughout various parts of the Hoenn region, there exist patches of darker soil which can be used to plant your Berries. When you first encounter these patches, some of them will have already yielded Berries, while others are just empty patches. After you exit Petalburg Woods, heading towards Rustboro City, north of the exit is the Flower Shop where you obtain the Wailmer Pail, which is needed in the game if you wish to grow more Berries. Leaving the Berries alone, while still watering them, will cause your Berry plant to flourish, yielding more and more Berries, up to a maximum pre-determined by the Berry type.
Throughout your travels in the Hoenn region, you will encounter Berries such as Oran, Pecha, and Cheri, which have already been pre-grown by the game. These are some of the quicker growing Berries, and there are some that grow even faster, while some grow extremely slow. These times are pre-set by the system, and will not change from each playthrough. Viewing a Berry's information will list how long it takes to grow the Berry plant.
However, it is of note that should your internal battery run dry, these Berries will not grow past their initial appearance. If you attempt to plant a Berry after picking them, your Berries will not grow, and appear to be just a lump in the soil; essentially wasting what could be a very precious Berry, such as a Lum Berry or a Liechi Berry, both of which are extremely rare Berries in Generation III. If the battery in your game is dry, the pre-set Berries will appear fully-grown, and will remain in that state should you have chosen not to pick them.
If you are in the Kanto region, Berries are seldom and hard to come by. There are no places to plant these Berries, but they can be found in slight abundance in the Berry Forest, which is located on Three Island.
In Generation IV[]

Berry Field Locations[]
In Generation V[]
The only place to farm Berries in Generation V is in the Dream World. All these take is water and time, you can gain more fields based on what you do in the Dream World and you can water the fields of others.
Berries can be used for Décor in the Dream World or they can be sold at Route 5 for various amounts.
In Generation VI[]
In Route 7 of Generation VI there is a farmer and his daughter who give the player the use of their Berry farms.
There are various Berry trees spread out across the Kalos region that drops a Berry 7 days after the previous one is taken. Berry farming is more like how it was back in Generation III, but with new additions like mulch and Berry mutations. Also, weeds will sometimes spread on these fields, hindering Berry growth and needing to be pulled.
Berry Colors and Pests[]
Occasionally, a bug Pokémon will appear on the plant, and interacting with the plant will start a battle with the Pokémon; no matter if the player defeats it, catches it or runs away from it, the pest is removed from the plant.
Each Berry has an assigned color that determines which Pokémon will be the Berry plant's pest. In addition, Berry colors are also connected with the creation of Mulch.
Color | Pest | Berries |
---|---|---|
Purple | Illumise |
|
Red | Ledyba |
|
Yellow | Combee |
|
Blue | Volbeat |
|
Green | Burmy Plant Cloak |
|
Pink | Spewpa |

Mulch[]
The Mulch used to grow Berries are different from the ones introduced in Generation IV; instead of buying them, these Mulch are created by composting Berries. The composters are located in the northwestern and southeastern corners of the area.
For more information on Mulch, see here
Name | Effect | Composting method |
---|---|---|
Rich Mulch |
Increases crop yield | Use three Berries of different colors |
Surprise Mulch |
Makes mutations more likely to occur | Use three Berries of the same color |
Boost Mulch |
Makes soil dry faster | Use two Berries of a common color and one Berry of another color |
Amaze Mulch |
Has all the effects of the previous Mulch | Use any two Berries and a Kee Berry/Maranga Berry |
Mutations[]
By planting a Berry tree next to another Berry tree, mutations may occur and a mutated Berry can be found growing from one of the two Berry trees. The Surprise Mulch and Amaze Mulch makes mutations more likely to occur.
Mutations allow the player to obtain otherwise unobtainable Berries. Most mutated Berries can also cause mutations, and the last Berries obtainable by mutations are Kee Berry and Maranga Berry.
