'''Loamy soil''' (Japanese: '''ふかふかのつち''' ''soft soil'') is very fertile soil made of [[wp:Loam|loam]] found in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], where [[Berries]] are able to grow. After Berries are picked from a plant, the soil becomes loamy again. If Berries go unpicked, they will fall and replant themselves in the loamy soil. However, they will only replant themselves a number of times before disappearing altogether, and the Berry originally planted will be completely lost.
'''Soft soil''' (Japanese: '''ふかふかのつち''' ''soft soil'') is very fertile soil made of {{wp|loam}} found in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] where [[Berry|Berries]] are able to grow. In [[Generation III]] it is described as "loamy", while in [[Generation IV]] as "earthy".


Since [[Generation IV]], [[mulch]] can be used on loamy soil to control the way Berry plants can grow. Also, loamy soil is referred to as "earthy soil" in this generation.
After Berries are picked from a plant, the soil becomes loamy again. If Berries go unpicked, they will fall and replant themselves in the soft soil. However, they will only replant themselves a number of times before disappearing altogether, and the Berry originally planted will be completely lost. Players are unable to walk on these tiles.
 
==Mulch==
{{main|Mulch}}
In Generation IV and VI, Mulch can used to control the way Berry plants can grow. Depending on the type of Mulch used, it can increase the yield or growth speed, or decrease the rate at which the soil dries out.

===Kanto and Johto===
There is no soft soil in the overworld in any games taking place in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]. However, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[key item]] {{key|IV|Berry Pots}} contain soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry plants with them anywhere.

===Unova===
There is no soft soil in the overworld in any games taking place in [[Unova]]. However, in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]—an online service which has since closed—players could plant Berries in their {{DL|Pokémon Dream World|garden}}.
 
===Kalos===
{{main|Berry fields}}
In {{g|X and Y}}, there are Berry fields off {{rt|7|Kalos}}, where there are six rows of six spaces of soft soil for planting Berries. [[Mulch]] is also re-introduced, and can be created in composters in the fields. This is the only soft soil in the [[Kalos]] region.

==Trivia==
* Surrounding the [[Abundant Shrine]] are mounds of soil, but Berries cannot be planted in these. Similarly to regular soft soil, the soil in the Abundant Shrine cannot be walked on. In Pokémon White and White 2, similar soil exists in [[Mistralton City]] near the runway.
