Effect
Held item
A Leppa Berry, if held by a Pokémon, restores 10 PP to a move that drops to 0 PP. If the holder has Ripen, it will instead restore 20 PP.
If a Pokémon obtains a Leppa Berry or if Magic Room ends when it already has one or more moves at 0 PP, the Berry will be consumed immediately, and if there are multiple moves with 0 PP, whichever one is first in the move order will be restored.
If a Pokémon is forced to eat a Leppa Berry as a result of Fling, Bug Bite, Pluck, Stuff Cheeks, or Teatime, PP will be restored to the first move that has 0 PP left if such a move exists, or otherwise to the first move that has any PP missing.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it restores 10 PP to a selected move. It is consumed after use.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it restores 10 PP to a Pokémon's move, and can also be thrown near wild Pokémon to draw their attention.
