Berries is the shared common name for plants who's fruit have a strong medicinal affect on pokémon and frequently humans, despite the plants having no common origin. In addition to restorative purposes berries are used in cooking or as rewards while training pokémon. While fresh berries are the most potent (and often tastiest) many kinds of berry can be dried and retain some of their benefit.
Types of Berry
Cherri
Cherri plants are hemiparasitic vines that favour deciduous trees as hosts. When not fruiting they are most easily identified by the thick green stem descending the trunk - or more rarely thick low curving branches - of their host. Their leaves are flat and normally tiled against branches. Cherri plants produce dense clusters of highly fragrant white flowers in early autumn and fruit from mid autumn to early spring depending on local climate.
Cherri berries are 1 to 2 cm across, bright red and contain a small pip. Since they grow high above the ground they can be difficult to harvest although this is slightly mitigated by each cluster containing a dozen or more. Cherri berries are one of the few berries not to lose potency when dried, which combined with each plant producing so many balances out their seasonal nature. Their flesh is very spicy when fresh, slightly milder once dried, and a common cooking spice in Sehtoan cuisine. Consuming a single berry cures most paralysis.
