A Pinap Berry (Japanese: パイルのみ Pairu Fruit) is a type of Berry introduced in Generation III. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Pinap Berry also has two variants: the Silver Pinap Berry and the Golden Pinap Berry.

In the core series games

Price

In the Generation V games, the Pinap Berry can be sold to the gourmet maniac on Route 5 for $500.

Effect

In all core series games apart from Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pinap Berries cannot be used directly and only have a use as an ingredient, such as for Pokéblocks and Poffins.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, a Pinap Berry can be used from the Bag on a wild Pokémon to increase the chances of getting more item rewards for catching Pokémon. This consumes the Pinap Berry. If the wild Pokémon breaks out of a Poké Ball, the Berry's effect disappears. A wild Pokémon cannot eat a Berry while another Berry is still in effect.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it restores the Pokémon's HP by 1/3 of its maximum HP. A wild Pokémon that consumes a Pinap Berry will yield more Exp. Points when caught.

Ingredient
