I'm training a Heracross on Diamond and it ran out of PP fighting a Raticate on Route 225 so started to use struggle, but before any damage happened it did the whole item used animation and I got a message saying something like "Foes Chilian Berry reduced the damage of struggle".

I hadn't heard of the berry or it's effects so looking it up I've found nothing to suggest that the berry should be available in D&P. It apparently can't even be migrated in from Gen 3 games. I've been trying to make it happen again but can't. Is this just a rare item Raticate carry, like Seadras with Dragon Scales? or is it a glitch that shouldn't happen? has anybody else had this? :s
 
I tried training up a Banette with the Frisk ability and the Thief TM so that I could steal some of the rarer berries and items from wild Pokemon. Trouble was, it was so rare for a wild Pokemon to be holding an item that I lost patience. =)

While we're on the subject of berries, is there any way to get a Liechi berry in Diamond? Or, for that matter, any of the berries after it?
 
NO, yu have to transfer Leichi and it's other stat up berrie buddies over.

As for Chilan, there are whole host of new berries introduced in DP which reduce the super effective hits of attacks, Normal as you may or may not no is not super effective to anything, therefore it's berry (which is Chillan) just reduces any Normal Damage.

These berries can be obtained via thief, by stealing it off of wild Pokemon, or by going to the hose next to the southern exit of Pastoria, where a woman will give you one of these berries randomly each day.
 
Actually, it increases your resistance iirc, not reduces weakness.

So a Pokemon who would take neutral damage would resist the attack instead. Meanwhile someone who was weak to it would take neutral damage and a double weak would take single weak damage.

If you give the ice resistance berry to a Walrein with Thick Fat, it gets a quadruple resistance to ice. How that's useful... it isn't. lol.
 
The berry description specifically says "Reduces the foe's super-effective xxx-Type attack", which sounds to me like it only works for super-effective attacks. Possibly it works for everything, but the Pokemon will only eat it if hit by a super-effective attack.
 
Technically... You can also find it by catching the pokemon with the berry in a pokeball...

Of course considering some have a 5% chance on sometimes rare pokemon I think Thief/Covet is a better idea :p

That reminds me in Emerald some Trainer Pokemon had items which you could steal... I wonder if it's also the case in D/P...
 
I encountered a Pokemon with an item in the Battle Tower, though presumably if I'd taken it I would have had to give it back after the battle.

Attack Raticate with the Chilian Berry with a normal move. Normal isn't super effective, but it will be eaten and the damage will be reduced.
 
Yeah, but Normal is different. Normal isn't super-effective against anything, so a berry to defend against super-effective normal attacks would be useless. Secondly, the description for the Chilan berry doesn't mention super-effective attacks - it's just "Weakens a foe's Normal-type attack".
 
That Hozu Berry thing took me aback.

This Berry can be obtained in RS through e-card.

Later, Berry of the same name was introduced in Generation IV. However, it looked a bit different.

Even later, when D/P was released in English this Berry was given the same name as the one from e-card.

So, Hozu (Chilan) Berry from D/P was introduced earlier, in e-reader.

I'm surprised that no one noticed that.
 
Somebody ought to attach the 3rd Gen one and trasfer it to D/P. That'd be interesting.
 
It's Ice, Floatzel carries electric. I wasn't surprised because I read all the discoveries as soon as they were made. I like spoilers.

Yeah, looks like you're right. Learn something new everyday.
