Origin[]
The Wacan Berry is based on the fruit of a candle tree, while its name may come from "wax" and "candle", the former being a common material to make candles with. It also resembles a mini light. Its ability to reduce damage from an Electric-type attack may reference how candles gives off light just like electrical appliances or due to the aforementioned mini light resemblance.
