Payapa Berry Locations

Hammerlocke Hills

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.

Payapa Berry Competitive Analysis

Super-effective Psychic-type attacks will be halved if a Pokemon is hit while it is holding Payapa Berry.

Poison and Fighting-type Pokemon should consider holding Payapa Berry as Psychic-type attackers are fairly common in the metagame.

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

Payapa Berry Holders

Nasty Plot Sweeper Toxicroak

Toxicroak, due to its typing, is 4x weak to Psychic-type attacks. Combine that with its low Special Defense and it will be very vulnerable to the likes of Tapu Fini. Letting it hold Payapa Berry will give it a fighting chance.
