==Using Pokéblocks==

[[File:Pokéblock being fed.png‎|thumb|Mightyena being fed a Purple Pokéblock|left]]

Feeding a Pokéblock to a Pokémon increases its condition by amounts dependent upon the {{Berries}} used in its creation and influenced by the skill it was made with. A Pokéblock's feel limits how many Pokéblocks a Pokémon can eat. Its level indicates the amount by which its strongest flavor will affect the Pokémon's condition, while its color—detailed in the following section—can indicate which flavor is its strongest.

A Pokéblock's level indicates the strength of its strongest [[flavor]]. If a Pokéblock contains more than one flavor, the only way to know the strength of the others is to calculate them based on the Berries that went into making the Pokéblock, as detailed below.

If a Pokémon eats a Pokéblock "happily" or "with disdain", the strength of the primary flavor will be multiplied by 1.1 or 0.9 (respectively, and with the result rounded down) before raising the associated condition. If the Pokémon shows neither reaction, no flavor will receive any modification before being added to its condition. A Pokémon's reaction depends on the strengths of its liked and disliked flavors in the Pokéblock. If the flavor it likes is stronger than the flavor it dislikes, it will like the Pokéblock, while it will dislike the Pokéblock if the opposite is true; if those flavors have the same strength, however, the Pokémon will react neutrally.

==Making Pokéblocks==

In {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Pokéblocks are made by mixing Berries with one to three other people in a [[Berry Blender]], found at Contest Halls. Once Berries are selected, the center of the blender will spin. When the blender's arrow points to the player's marker, the player can push the A button to make it spin faster. The faster it spins, the better the Pokéblock. If the button is pushed outside of the player's marker, the arrow will spin slower, resulting in bad Pokéblocks. Once it is done, each participant receives a Pokéblock.

The flavors in a Pokéblock depend on the flavors of the Berries that went into making it and the highest speed achieved during the blending. If two or more of the same Berry are used, the resulting Pokéblock will always be a low quality black Pokéblock, which is automatically assigned three random flavors of strength 2. For an overview of the influence that various Berries will have on flavors, refer to the list of Berries by flavor.

#:Continuing with the established example, if the maximum RPM reported at the end of blending is 110 RPM, then ''X'' = 1.33 and the result of this step—and the final values for the strengths of the flavors in the Pokéblock—is spicy: 0; dry: 0; sweet: 0; bitter: 11; and sour: 11.

In most cases, the color of a Pokéblock depends on the number of flavors that are present in the Pokéblock and on the strength of those flavors. The exception is if two or more of the same Berry are used to make a Pokéblock; in this case, the resulting Pokéblock will always be black. Black Pokéblocks are automatically set to have three random flavors of strength 2.

The feel of a Pokéblock is determined by the average smoothness of the Berries that went into making it and the number of people who participated in making it, as shown below:

:<code>''Feel'' = ( ''Smoothness''₁ + ... + ''Smoothness_n'' ) / ''n'' - ''People''</code>

The result of this calculation is rounded down. The maximum value for a Pokéblock's feel is 99. The smoothness for various Berries can be found in the section below.

In the table below, Berries in italics are [[e-Reader]] Berries, some of which were never released for English games.

==Blending with NPCs==

The Berries these NPCs will contribute follow a repeating pattern. They only break this pattern when the player is using the same Berry that they would, in order to avoid producing a black Pokéblock. As an example, if the player uses an [[Oran Berry]] (no. 7) or a [[Wiki Berry]] (no. 12)  at the 4-person Berry Blender, the NPCs there will add Chesto, Aspear, and Rawst Berries. If the player adds a [[Persim Berry]] (no. 8), the NPCs will add Pecha, Cheri, and Aspear Berries.

==Trivia==

* Pokéblock bears some similarity to the popular candy {{wp|Pez}}. They are both small candies that are stored in a dispenser.
