Gen VI
New Berries
There are three new Berries introduced to X and Y, each giving a new effect when consumed. The Roseli Berry can be found under a tree on Route 14, between Laverre City and Lumiose City, and the Kee and Maranga Berries can only be obtained through various mutations explained later in this article.

Introduction to Berry farming
In Generation VI, growing Berries makes a return to the main series with a few updates. In Pokemon X and Y, you can grow them on a Berry field located on the southern exit of Route 7, west of Camphrier Town. Various Berry trees are located around Kalos from which you can obtain one Berry a day, which you can then take to the Berry field to cultivate. There are six rows of plots, each with 6 spots where you can plant a Berry, so you can farm multiple Berries at one time.
Growing Berries works similarly to previous games. Mulch makes a return from Gen IV, which you can make using either of two composters. You place the Mulch on the ground, then place the Berry you’d like to cultivate. You then water the patch of soil once a day using the Sprinklotad to keep the soil from drying out. Once the Berry has fully grown, you can then reap the harvest. The tree will disappear, and you can regrow another tree in that location.
Berries take real-world time to grow, and each Berry has a specific growth rate. What type of Mulch you use affects how each tree grows. There are a few changes to growing Berries too. Occasionally, weeds will grow around a tree, which affects the Berry yield negatively, so you must pull them out to prevent a less bountiful yield. Also, a few select Pokemon will also occasionally attack your trees which you must battle to get rid of. Mutations on the Berries can also occur, giving you a new type of Berry from that harvest.
Berry Colors
There are six different types of Berry colors. The significance of the colors in X and Y is for creating the four types of Mulch for aiding your farming. The six different colors are:
This group comprises of the Apicot, Coba, Kelpsy, Maranga, Oran, Passho, Rowap, and Yache Berries.
This group comprises of the Aguav, Babiri, Durin, Hondew, Kebia, Lum, Micle, Rabuta, Rawst, Rindo, Salac, Starf, Tanga, and Wepear Berries.
This group comprises of the Mago, Magost, Nanab, Pecha, Persim, Petaya, Roseli, and Watmel Berries
This group comprises of the Belue, Bluk, Chesto, Colbur, Cornn, Ganlon, Kasib, Pamtre, Payapa, and Wiki Berries.
This group comprises of the Cheri, Chople, Custap, Figy, Haban, Lansat, Leppa, Liechi, Occa, Pomeg, Spelon, and Tamato Berries.
This group comprises of the Aspear, Charti, Chilan, Grepa, Iapapa, Jaboca, Kee, Nomel, Pinap, Qualot, Shuca, Sitrus, and Wacan Berry.
Mulch
Mulch can be created using either of the two composters in the Berry field. You feed three Berries into the machine, and receive three bags of Mulch. The type of Mulch you receive depends on the colors of the Berries that you used to make it. There are 4 different types of Mulch:
This increases the chances of a mutation occuring between two trees. It is created by mixing three Berries of the same color, e.g. three Sitrus Berries.
This doubles the harvest from a tree. It is created by mixing three Berries of different colors, e.g. a Sitrus Berry, a Lum Berry, and an Oran Berry.
This triples the harvest from a tree, but requires you to water the soil every 4 hours instead of every day. It is created by mixing two Berries of the same color, and one of a different one, e.g. two Sitrus Berries, and a Lum Berry.
This combines the effects of Boost and Surprise Mulch, and is the best of the 4 Mulches. It is created by mixing a Kee or Maranga Berry with any two other Berries, e.g. a Kee Berry, a Sitrus Berry, and a Lum Berry.
Because the Kee and Maranga Berries can only be obtained through combinations of various mutations, Amaze Mulch is the most difficult to get, but it’s effects can greatly improve your harvest. Note that although the Kee and Maranga Berries have a color assigned to them, putting one in the composter will always result in creating Amaze Mulch, regardless of the other Berries used.
Berry Mutation
Mutations in the harvest sometimes occur when two certain Berries are grown next to each other. Once a specific mutation has been discovered, you can talk to the scientist in the Berry farmer’s house to review the formula. This is the only way to get certain Berries in Kalos, and some Berries can only be created from two other mutations, so some Berries may take a few days of correct farming to obtain. Using Surprise Mulch will increase the likelyhood of a mutation occuring. Below is a list of each mutation and which two Berries you need to obtain that particular mutation.
THIS WILL BE A TABLE FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES
- Grepa Berry = Aguav Berry + Figy Berry
- Hondew Berry = Aspear Berry + Leppa Berry
- Kelpsy Berry = Chesto Berry + Persim Berry
- Pomeg Berry = Iapapa Berry + Mago Berry
- Qualot Berry = Oran Berry + Pecha Berry
- Tamato Berry = Lum Berry + Sitrus Berry
THIS WILL BE A TABLE FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES

- Salac Berry = Grepa Berry + Roseli Berry
THIS WILL BE A TABLE FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES
- Kee Berry = Ganlon Berry + Liechi Berry
- Maranga Berry = Salac Berry + Petaya Berry
Obtainable Pokemon
Occasionally, you may find a tree shaking accompanied by a rustling sound. This indicates that a Pokemon is attacking your tree. In order to protect your tree, you must battle the Pokemon to rid the tree of it. Each tree of a certain Berry color has a specific Pokemon that it attracts. They are all found at either Lv. 14-15, and can be found in both X and Y versions.
