Mago Berry Effect

Mago Berry
Effect	If held by a Pokemon, it restores the user's HP in a pinch, but it will cause confusion if the user hates the taste.

Mago Berry is a Berry that heals 33% of its holder's max HP if it drops to 1/4 of its total health, but only works on some Pokemon.

Pokemon with Natures that decrease its Speed stat (Relaxed, Quiet, Sassy, and Brave) will not be healed by this item and will rather get confused once this item is consumed.

How to Get Mago Berry

Obtain by Shaking Berry Trees

You can get Mago Berry by shaking Berry trees found in Wild Areas and Routes.

Pokemon May Also Fall From Trees

You can get more Berries by shaking a tree multiple times. However, the more you shake it, the higher the possibility that Pokemon will fall from the tree and challenge you into a battle.

It would also mean that the chances of getting Berries will decrease.

Get as Max Raid Victory Reward

You can get all kinds of Berries as a reward when winning Max Raids.

Mago Berry Competitive Analysis

Mago Berry fits most bulky, defensive Pokemon in order to prolong its influence in the field, with it being able to stay in battle even if it drops to 1/4 of its max HP.

Avoid using this Berry on Trick Room teams, especially those that have Speed-reducing Natures as consuming Mago Berry will confuse it.

Do note that facing Pokemon with Unnerve and As One will render this Berry useless, so watch out for Pokemon with these Abilities!

Mago Berry vs Sitrus Berry

Mago Berry is mainly used as a recovery item that bypasses item restrictions. If you need HP-recovering Berries and have already set a Sitrus Berry on another Pokemon, you can use this Berry.

In case if you need to choose between the two, Sitrus Berry is a safer choice as you don't need to be in near-critical health to activate your recovery item.

Mago Berry Uses

As a Curry Ingredient

Mago Berry can be used as an ingredient when cooking Curries at the Campsite! Using Mago Berry in your Curry will give it a Sweet flavor.

As a Cram-O-Matic Item
