A Persim Berry (Japanese: キーのみKī Fruit) is a type of Berry introduced in Generation III. It is the spiritual successor of the Bitter Berry from Generation II, having an identical effect when used on or by a Pokémon.
If the holder is confused, it will consume its held Persim Berry and cure it of confusion. When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, Bug Bite, or Item Urge, it also cures the consumer of confusion.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures that Pokémon of confusion. This consumes the Persim Berry.
Persim Berries have a base Berry Powder of 30 and a difficulty of 50. With two players, this Berry will contribute 60 units of Berry Powder at 100% silkiness.
A Persim plant will yield 2-5 Berries. A growing Persim plant's soil dries by 15% every hour, fully drying out in 7 hours.

Generation VIII Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
The Persim Berry is available in Pokémon Sleep as one of the Berries that can be gathered by helper Pokémon and fed to Snorlax.
Effect
Persim Berries raise Snorlax's Strength, doubling the effect if the Berry is Snorlax's favorite. The base amount of Strength raised by the Berry is determined by the level of the helper Pokémon that gathered it.
The more this Berry absorbs energy from sunlight, the more vividly colorful it grows.
Acquisition
Persim Berries can be gathered by Normal-type helper Pokémon in the player's team. Like all Berries in the game, gathered Persim Berries do not go into the player's inventory and instead are immediately eaten by Snorlax.
The following is a list of cards named or holding a Persim Berry.
Persim Berry Cards listed with a blue background are only legal to use in the current Expanded format. Cards listed with a silver background are legal to use in both the current Standard and Expanded formats.
Despite the relationship of this berry to the Bitter Berry from Generation II, both being the Berries that cured confusion, the Persim Berry is not actually bitter. In Generation IV and VIII, bitterness is actually the only flavor that the Persim Berry does not have.
Origin
The Persim Berry's design and name may be based on persimmons.
