Effect

In battle

Gluttony causes the Pokémon to eat Berries that would normally be eaten at 25% HP or lower to be eaten at 50% HP or lower instead. It has no effect on Berries that activate at other HP thresholds (such as the Oran Berry, which is normally eaten at 50% HP or less) or Berries with non-HP-related trigger conditions (such as the Leppa Berry and Lum Berry).

Affected Berries

Reason: Gen IX

In Generation VII, the Berries that may cause confusion, such as the Figy Berry and Mago Berry, are now eaten at 25% HP or less instead of being eaten at 50% HP or less, so are now affected by Gluttony.

From Gates to Infinity onward, Gluttony heals 25 HP when the Pokémon eats or drinks an item.
