Flavor
The contents of this article have been suggested to be split into Berry color. Please discuss it on the talk page for this article. |
Flavor is a group of attributes that all Berries, Pokéblocks, Poffins, and Apricorns have.
There are five flavors: spicy (Japanese: 辛い spicy), dry (Japanese: 渋い astringent), sweet (Japanese: 甘い sweet), bitter (Japanese: 苦い bitter), and sour (Japanese: 酸っぱい sour). Each flavor represents a specific contest condition and Pokéathlon performance stat, and is liked and disliked by different Pokémon depending on their Natures. The flavor is also consistently liked or disliked depending on which stat is raised or lowered; for example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors will have a Nature that raises their Attack, while those that dislike spicy flavors will all have a Nature that lowers their Attack. Every Pokémon will like and dislike a certain flavor unless their Nature is Hardy, Docile, Serious, Bashful, or Quirky, in which case they will have no preference. However, bitter herbal medicine, as well as sweet Honey and the move Sweet Scent, ignore flavor preferences.
If a Pokémon consumes a Berry that may cause confusion, it will become confused if it dislikes the flavor. This is the only flavor-dependent mechanic to be retained in Generation V onward.

List of Apricorns by flavor
Similar mechanics
In Generation V, Berries have Scoop and Stickiness attributes for the Dream World mini-game Ice Cream Scoop.
In Generation VI, Berries have color groups. These color groups are used when growing Berries or making Juice or Poké Blocks. Pokémon X and Y have six color groups: red, blue, purple, green, yellow, and pink. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have five color groups: red, yellow, blue, green, and pink; each of these again correspond to a contest condition.
Trivia
- The bag descriptions of the Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, and Pinap Berries in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire state that they are spicy, sour, sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively, referencing their previous flavors in the Generation III and IV games.
- The reference in the Bluk Berry's description was not noticed, and as such, 渋い was translated as "sour" instead of as "dry" as in previous games.
- In Generation III, the total sum of all flavor attributes is always zero (0).
