In addition to the base growth time changes, special [[mulch]] was introduced that could be spread over a patch of soft soil to alter the growth rate of Berry plants, allowing them to be tended to more easily by those with a busy schedule. This mulch is available only at the [[Berry Master]]'s house in [[Sinnoh]] or at the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]].
In addition to the base growth time changes, Caring for berries now involves maintaining moist soil under the plants. When first planted, the soil will be fully moist, with 100% moisture. Each hour, the berry plant will lose moisture based on it's drying rate, turning orange when halfway dry, and sandy when completely dry. Watering a berry plant brings it's moisture back to 100. Growth mulch and damp mulch will change the growth time and drying rate by 25% and 50% respectively. This mulch is available only at the [[Berry Master]]'s house in [[Sinnoh]] or at the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]].


Like how Berries were most used in Generation III to make Pokéblocks, in Generation IV Berries are used to make [[Poffin]], which achieves a similar [[condition]]-enhancing effect. Aside from this, those which have no in-battle effect can be traded in for [[Accessory|Accessories]] to be used to dress up Pokémon for {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s and pictures.
