While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of [[soft soil]] where another Berry could be planted.

This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions. Thus, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Berries that the {{player}} obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Berry Forest]], where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and [[items#recurring items|regenerate themselves]].

Beginning in this generation, Berries are typically grouped in "families". This is an unofficial term for a group of five Berries that have the same growth period and similar flavoring distributions (such as Razz, which is mostly spicy but somewhat dry, and Bluk, which is mostly dry but somewhat sweet).
