Arena: The Berry Orchard

The Berry Orchard is a fairly simple arena. There's nothing really unusual in here; a lazy stream jogs across a grassy plain, with a sturdy wooden bridge granting passage from one side to the other. And berries, everywhere. Growing from the myriad of short trees and spiky bushes, scattered across the land by the winds, floating helplessly on the river, taken away by the modest current.

Any Pokémon may use an action and some energy to find a berry of their liking, with its effect kicking in as soon as they meet the conditions and / or are ordered to eat it. For example, a Liechi Berry may not be eaten if the user is above 33% health. A berry obtained this way does not use up an item slot, and may not be Recycled. The energy necessary to find a berry depends on its rarity, of course - the energy percentage amounts to the half the price of the berry, rounded up. All the berry information necessary is available in the database, but a few of them are left out. Their effects are as described below:

Bag_Figy_Berry_Sprite.png
Figy Berry: Restores 15% health, but confuses Pokémon that dislike spicy food instead. Takes 7% energy to find.

Bag_Wiki_Berry_Sprite.png
Wiki Berry: Restores 15% health, but confuses Pokémon that dislike dry food instead. Takes 7% energy to find.

Bag_Mago_Berry_Sprite.png
Mago Berry: Restores 15% health, but confuses Pokémon that dislike sweet food instead. Takes 7% energy to find.

Bag_Aguav_Berry_Sprite.png
Aguav Berry: Restores 15% health, but confuses Pokémon that dislike bitter food instead. Takes 7% energy to find.

Bag_Iapapa_Berry_Sprite.png
Iapapa Berry: Restores 15% health, but confuses Pokémon that dislike sour food instead. Takes 7% energy to find.

Bag_Razz_Berry_Sprite.png
Razz Berry: Raises Attack and Special Attack by one stage if the Pokémon likes spicy or dry food. Takes 2% energy to find.

Bag_Bluk_Berry_Sprite.png
Bluk Berry: Raises Special Attack and Speed by one stage if the Pokémon likes dry or sweet food. Takes 2% energy to find.

Bag_Nanab_Berry_Sprite.png

Bag_Wepear_Berry_Sprite.png
Wepear Berry: Raises Defense and Special Defense by one stage if the Pokémon likes sour or bitter food. Takes 2% energy to find.

Bag_Pinap_Berry_Sprite.png
Pinap Berry: Raises Attack and Defense by one stage if the Pokémon likes spicy or sour food. Takes 2% energy to find.

Bag_Pomeg_Berry_Sprite.png

Bag_Kelpsy_Berry_Sprite.png
Kelpsy Berry: Lowers Attack by one stage, but greatly increases friendship. Takes 3% energy to find.

Bag_Qualot_Berry_Sprite.png
Qualot Berry: Lowers Defense by one stage, but greatly increases friendship. Takes 3% energy to find.

Bag_Hondew_Berry_Sprite.png
Hondew Berry: Lowers Special Attack by one stage, but greatly increases friendship. Takes 3% energy to find.

Bag_Grepa_Berry_Sprite.png
Grepa Berry: Lowers Special Defense by one stage, but greatly increases friendship. Takes 3% energy to find.

Bag_Tamato_Berry_Sprite.png
Tamato Berry: Lowers Speed by one stage, but greatly increases friendship. Takes 3% energy to find.

Bag_Cornn_Berry_Sprite.png
Cornn Berry: A berry from an ancient era. Grants the move Ancient Power and boosts its base power to 90 for two rounds. Grants Fossil Pokémon (as well as Relicanth) a boost in nostalgia (chance of secondary effects happening) as they remember the good old times. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Magost_Berry_Sprite.png
Magost Berry: A Berry that is widely said to have a finely balanced flavor. Grants the ability Sweet Veil and the move Sweet Scent, also doubling its effect, for two rounds. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Rabuta_Berry_Sprite.png
Rabuta Berry: A rare variety that is overgrown with hair. Grants the abilities Fur Coat for two rounds, after which the hair will shed and cure the Pokémon from all status afflictions it may have as well as any affliction caused by something sticking on its body (String Shot, Leech Seed, etc.). Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Nomel_Berry_Sprite.png
Nomel Berry: Quite sour. Just one bite makes it impossible to taste for three days. Pokémon that like sour food will have all stats increase by one stage for two rounds. Pokémon that dislike sour food will have all stats decrease by one stage for two rounds. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Spelon_Berry_Sprite.png
Spelon Berry: So spicy is the Spelon Berry that, Fire type or not, Pokémon will try to breathe fire after eating a single one, effectively granting access to all fire-breathing moves for two rounds, but dealing 4% fire-type damage. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Pamtre_Berry_Sprite.png
Pamtre Berry: This Berry drifted from a faraway sea. It's filled with exotic flavors that grant otherworldly abilities, effectively granting the Pokémon's Hidden Ability for two rounds, or a random normal ability if it already has access to its Hidden Ability. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Watmel_Berry_Sprite.png
Watmel Berry: Very sweet, but mostly very hydrating. Quenches any thirst, and as such the user will behave as thus it is affected by rain for two rounds. No weather-changing move or ability can change this. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Durin_Berry_Sprite.png
Durin Berry: It is so bitter, no one has ever eaten it as is. Pokémon will rather use its spiky shell both for offense and protection, effectively granting access to the moves Needle Arm, Pin Missile, Spikes, Spiky Shield and Spike Cannon. Takes 9% energy to find.

Bag_Belue_Berry_Sprite.png
Belue Berry: Eating this berry gives the Belues, which is considered a major status affliction for the purpose of moves and abilities. It does nothing in reality, apart from making Disarming Voice a 120 base power move, be it used by or against this Pokémon. It's because it does emotional damage. Takes 9% energy to find.

Every Pokémon particularly likes a flavour and dislikes another one, though neither flavour is known at the beginning of the battle. You'll have to guess depending on their reactions to berry eating. Eating berries they like increase friendship with their trainer, and eating berries they dislike decreases it.

Friendship is the mesure of a bond between a Pokémon and a trainer. The greater the bond, the greater the chances of breaking out of attraction and confusion, not be fully paralysed, secondary effects happening, etc. Mostly up to the ref.

But wait, there's more! A Pokémon berry-picking may pick up a Fawol Berry, which is disgusting and inflicts the poison status, as well as a one-stage drop in Defense, Special Defense and Speed. The chance of picking a Fawol Berry is equal to the energy cost required to find the berry you were looking for.

Whoa, thanks Jack!

I didn't expect someone to pick this up so soon, so I've got my tournament team set up hehe... I don't mind, but it would probably be better for everyone if I changed up my squad a bit...
