How to Win Max Raid Battles
Salac Berry raises its holder's Speed stat by one stage when its health drops to below 25%. This pinch Berry is useful for Pokemon that has no method of boosting its Speed stat in order to be effective.
A good way of using this is pairing it with Substitute to safely reach the HP threshold without being in danger of being knocked out.
Xurkitree is an Ultra Beast with a towering Special Attack but lacks a viable Speed stat. Letting it hold Salac Berry and building it with a focus on being defensive is a great way of utilzing the Glowing Pokemon.
Salac Berry can be used as an ingredient when cooking Curries at the Campsite! Using Salac Berry in your Curry will give it a Sweet, Bitter, and Sour flavor.
You can also use Salac Berries to produce an item at the Cram-O-Matic! The product you will get will depend on what items you combine the Berry with.
