next twenty-one have no special 'powers', and are only used to create poffins 
to help your pokemon in contests.

* GOLD BERRY TYPE: These two berries make a gold type berry. This means that 
the two berries that are combined both contribute to the final taste. So, the 
two types of berries raise the two stats they correspond with.
          EX: SPICY BERRY and SOUR BERRY: this combo would raise both the 
coolness and toughness of a pokemon.
^ I find these GOLD berries pretty useful if you like to enter two contests 
with one pokemon.

That's the complete list of all the berries in the entire game. 
Here are some tips to make the most of your berries...

TIP: Some of the listed berries do not appear often in the game. Acquire rare 
berries through trading with friends or between your own game systems.

TIP: Everyday, go to the berry man and ask him for a berry. This is the only 
way to obtain certain berries in this certain game.

TIP: Grow berries and use the PokeTech watch (berry tracker) to locate grown 
berries. This is how you can turn one rare berry into a hundred.

TIP: There are 2 things you can do to improve the quality and speed-of-growth 
of your berries;
           1. Buy mulch and use it in the dirt
           2. Use the watering can to prevent wilting

TIP: When making poffins make the best ones you can (LEVEL 10)s.
          This is because that when you feed your pokemon a certain amount of 
poffins, it won't eat any more (this is called a full sheen level). That is why 
you should only feed it high level poffins to see the greates increase in your 
pokemon's stats.

TIP: Watch your berry types. Only try to raise one type of stat per pokemon. 
You will be limited to poffins and you have to raise one stat and perfect the 
moves needed to win contests. 



This is my FAQ. Hope it helped you to make smart choices and keep all the 
berries you can. Good luck and reminder: berries and poffins don't hurt your 
pokemon, they only help to give you an edge on your opponent!
