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.

Petaya Berry Competitive Analysis

Petaya Berry is a fairly popular pinch berry for special attackers that have no way to increase their Sp.Atk stat naturally, and is often paired with the move Substitute to ensure that the holder can lower its HP to activate the berry.

Sceptile is a good user of the Petaya Berry since it lacks an Sp.Atk-raising move and the item synergizes well with its Unburden Hidden Ability.

Once Sceptile lowers its health and activates the Petaya Berry to get its Sp.Atk boost, its Speed doubles thanks to its Ability activating - allowing it to outrun and potentially KO the opposing Pokemon.
