Berries do not grow naturally in [[Unova]] (although some wild Pokémon in Unova like {{p|Minccino}} are holding them), nor can they be transferred from another region using the [[Poké Transfer]]. They can, however, be grown in the [[Pokémon Dream World]], as well as obtained as gifts from various Trainers (mostly {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s).


Unlike most games since Ruby and Sapphire, when the mechanic of growing Berries was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant Berries. Instead, players may plant Berries in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] in the garden found in the area to the left of their home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. A third row will be dug by {{p|Diglett}} after players have earned at least 900 Dream Points, a fourth after they have earned at least 2100, and a fifth after they have earned at least 3500.

The Berry patches require watering, or they will dry out. A player can water their own Berries or others'. As of the April 2011 update, players may only water other players' Berries a total of twenty times for each voyage to the Dream World. However, players can water their own Berry patches an unlimited number of times. This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counter-balance to the 50% decrease in growth rate. Berry plants will never die and resprout in the Dream World - they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.
Instead, players may plant Berries in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] using the garden found in the area to the left of their Dream World home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries.  From time to time, as the player accumulates Dream Points {{p|Diglett}} will show up to expand the garden by plowing a new row (starting with a third row added at 900 points), up to a maximum of ten rows.


Berries are able to be sold to an [[item maniac]] on {{rt|5|Unova}}; depending on what Berry it is, they may be sold for {{pdollar}}20, {{pdollar}}500, or {{pdollar}}30000 each. This is the only use for Berries that do not have an in-battle purpose, such as the Razz Berry, when transferred out of the Dream World. Within the Dream World, combinations of Berries can be traded for [[Décor]].
As with Generation IV, the Berry patches require watering or they will dry out; a player can water their own Berries as often as needed (any time the garden soil is not described as "very moist"), and when visiting another player's home may water their Berries as well (up to 20 times for each voyage to the Dream World).  This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counter-balance to the slower growth rate. Berry plants never die and resprout in the Dream World - they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.
 
When transferred out of the Dream World, Berries may be sold to an [[item maniac]] on {{rt|5|Unova}} for various amounts, depending on what kind of Berry it is. This is also the sole use for Berries that do not serve a purpose in battles.
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}30000 include: Lansat, Starf, Enigma, Micle, Custap, Jaboca and Rowap.
