The Berry fields (Japanese: きのみ畑Berry fields) is an area in western Kalos connected to Route 7 in the north.
They are a small walled off estate with six rows each with six spaces where players can plant, care for, and cross-breed Berries.
Berries take real-world time to grow and require watering and weeding, as well as removingBug-typePokémon that will appear to eat the Berries. If a bug is on a Berry tree, the tree will shake and release a sound that can be heard across the whole area.
A colored background means that the Pokémon can be found in this location in the specified game. A white background with a colored letter means that the Pokémon cannot be found here.
Growing Berries
Berries can be planted in any empty patch of soft soil. The soil that the Berry was planted in will start out dry and can be watered by the player, the soil may dry up over time depending on the mulch and Berry used. Weeds and Pokémon may appear around the Berry tree which changes the amount of Berries depending on whether they are dealt with.
Mulch can be made by placing three Berries in the composters. Three Mulches are produced each time, and the type of Mulch produced is based on the colors of the Berries. There are four types of Mulches.
Rich Mulch doubles the Berry harvest. It can be made by mixing three different colored Berries.
Boost Mulch triples the Berry harvest, but dries the soil quicker. It can be made by mixing two Berries of the same color with another Berry.
Surprise Mulch boosts chances of mutations depending on the Berries used to make the Mulch. It can be made by mixing three Berries of the same color.
Amaze Mulch has the effects of Boost, Rich, and Surprise Mulches. It can be made by mixing a Kee or Maranga Berry with two other Berries.
Berry Colors
Although Kee and Maranga Berries have colors, composting one will always result in Amaze Mulch regardless of the colors of the other Berries.
Mutation will sometimes occur when two different types of Berries are grown next to each other. Once a certain mutation has been performed once, the formula for it can be reviewed with the Scientist in the Berry grower's hut. Using Surprise Mulch or Amaze Mulch on the trees involved increases the chance of a mutation.
Of the 15 Berries that can be found on various routes in the region, all of them are involved in mutations. In addition to those Berries, Pecha Berries (given by the grower upon arriving at the fields) and Chesto Berries (from the "vibes" man in Camphrier Town or the stall in Coumarine City) are used.
