==Effect==
Belch deals damage. It cannot be selected unless the user has previously eaten a [[Berry]] in the current battle. This includes eating another Pokémon's Berry via {{m|Bug Bite}}, {{m|Pluck}} or {{m|Fling}}, unless the Berry can never have an effect when eaten that way. Consuming a Berry through other means (such as {{m|Natural Gift}}, using {{m|Fling}}, or its Trainer giving it a Berry from the [[Bag]]) will not enable Belch to be used.

Specifically, any Berry that has no effect in battle (such as a [[Razz Berry]] or [[Pomeg Berry]]) cannot allow a Pokémon to use Belch. However, consuming a [[Rawst Berry]] or [[Oran Berry]] via Bug Bite, Pluck, or another Pokémon's Fling will allow the Pokémon to use Belch, even if they have no effect (due to the Pokémon not being {{status|burn}}ed or being at full {{stat|HP}}, respectively).
If consuming another Pokémon's held Berry via Bug Bite, Pluck, or Fling, only Berries that can have an effect when eaten that way will allow the Pokémon to use Belch. Berries that never have an effect when consumed using these ways (such as the [[Razz Berry]], [[Pomeg Berry]], and [[Payapa Berry]]) do not allow a Pokémon to use Belch. On the other hand, consuming a [[Rawst Berry]] or [[Liechi Berry]] via Bug Bite, Pluck, or another Pokémon's Fling will allow the Pokémon to use Belch, even if the Berry is eaten for no effect (due to the Pokémon not being {{status|burn}}ed or having +6 {{stat|Attack}} stages already, respectively).


After eating a Berry, that Pokémon may use Belch for the rest of the battle, even if it has been switched out and back in, it has [[faint]]ed then been revived, or the Berry is restored with {{m|Recycle}}, {{a|Harvest}}, or {{a|Pickup}}.
