'''Berries''' were introduced in [[Generation II]] to take advantage of the then-new [[held item]]s feature, which allows a Pokémon to hold and use specific items in battle. The standard [[Generation I]] items, such as [[Potion]]s and {{DL|Status condition healing item|Full Heal}}s, are man-made; this means that Pokémon do not know how to use them if they hold these items. Instead, ten different Berries were created that Pokémon could use automatically during battle, with effects analogous to the man-made healing items.

While these Berries no longer exist, having been replaced by the new system in [[Generation III]], their basic effects are inherited by the first ten {{Berries}} introduced in [[Hoenn]]. In [[HeartGold and SoulSilver]], all instances of these berries were removed or replaced (oddly, however, most of them have been replaced by [[Apricorn]]s and other items, rather than their modern counterparts).
