Berry Tree

Berry Trees are trees that yield different kinds of berries with various curative properties. The kind of berry you'll get depends on the environment tile you find/plant the seeds in.

## Berry Tree Properties

Unlike Apricorn Trees, Berry Trees cannot be fertilized with Manure, cannot be Headbutted, and take longer to fully grow. However, they *DO* contribute to a Flying-Type Pokemon's happiness with its Habitat.

### Harvesting

Every Berry Tree yields 1 Berry per day but cannot have more than 1 Berry at a time, so you can't just wait several days an harvest dozens from a single tree. Using Cut on a Berry Tree will also yield 2 Berry Seeds regardless of whether or not the Berry was taken, so be sure to take what you can before cutting them down. Using Cut will not yield seeds if the seed was just planted, it must grow at least one stage past initial planting to yield seeds. However, as freshly planted saplings produce logs and grass, farming Berry Seeds and then cutting down freshly planted Berry Trees before they have time to grow is a sustainable, albeit time consuming, way to farm grass and logs.

### Encounters

When interacting with Berry Trees, sometimes they will turn out to be Sudowoodos in disguise. They're around level 20 but due to their low Speed stat, they tend not to be too difficult to run away from. Note that this only happens when interacting with **"WILD"** Berry Trees. Berry Trees planted by the player will **never** cause one of these encounters to occur. Nor will using Cut on Wild Berry Trees ever prompt an attack, so make sure to interact with as many "wild" Berry Trees as possible if you want a Sudowoodo in the future.

## Berry Seed

All Berry Trees yield Berry Seeds, and all Berry Seeds are generic, what Berry Tree they grow into is entirely dependent upon the environment tile they're planted in. To make things more convenient, you can use Dig to take advantageous environment tiles like Ashen Soil to other parts of the game world and create local farms for desired Berries.

**(Warning: The game will have a reddish colored indicator when over environment tiles where planting a Berry Seed will not work, such as Clay, Water, Rocks, etc. However, if you try to plant anyway, you will lose a Berry Seed for every attempt.)**

## Berry Juice

Although this item's history is tied to the earliest Berries in Official Pokemon history, Berry Juice is an Item Drop from Shuckle, and not directly associated with Berries at all. It restores 20 HP.

## Trivia

* Being aesthetically associated with Gen 2 is appropriate in this instance, as it was the first generation of Pokemon to introduce Berries. Previously, Oran Berries were known simply as "Berry" and also healed 10 HP. It was tied to a unique mechanic where giving a Shuckle a Berry to hold without letting it consume it for an extended period of time would result in creating Berry Juice. An item that heals for 20 HP. This was all before the creation of abilities and was presumably meant to be a way to tie in Pokedex information into gameplay outside of battle.
	+ Berry names were also a lot more simplified. The Berry that healed 30 HP was called a Gold Berry, and all others had abbreviations for their status conditions rather than having to remember what berry healed what condition. Aspears were called "Ice Berry", Cheris where called "PRZCUREBERRY", etc.
	+ One of the rarer ones, the Leppa Berry (AKA MysteryBerry) was not included due to it restoring PP, which doesn't exist in this game. Also, the MiracleBerry (the counterpart to the Lum Berry) was actually nigh impossible to get back in Gen 2, as it was exclusively found on Mystery Gift Pokemon, a 2% chance to be on a Celebi (which was never released in the USA), and a peripheral.
