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.

Normal Shake	Possibility of Falling Pokemon

Get as Max Raid Victory Reward

Wacan Berry Competitive Analysis

Holding a Wacan Berry will reduce the damage taken from super-effective Electric-type moves by half.

Pokemon that are weak against Electric-type attacks should consider using this item, as this will help them survive against the thunderous Electric-type Pokemon that boast either high Attack or Special attack stats. Thunder and Wild Charge are some of the common moves that these Pokemon use.

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

Wacan Berry Holders

Pelipper, Tornadus, and Suicune are Pokemon that usually use Wacan Berry. This Berry allows them to comfortably face Electric-type threats for one turn, especially Pelipper who has a 4x weakness to Electric-type moves due to its Water/Flying typing.

Wacan Berry Uses

As a Curry Ingredient

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

As a Cram-O-Matic Item
