Pokémon Go: Use berries - all information and tricks
In Pokémon Go you encounter a Pokémon that is more difficult to catch, you can use berries. In this practical tip, we will show you how to use the berries effectively in the games app.
How to use the berries in "Pokémon Go" - tips and tricks
If you want to catch a Pokémon faster and more effectively, you can use berries. These are unlocked for the first time from level 8 and make your catch easier. How to use the berries in "Pokémon Go":
- If a Pokémon appears on the card, first click on it as usual.
- Instead of simply throwing the Poké Ball, tap on your backpack and switch to the items.
- Select the berry. This now appears in front of the Pokémon.
- Give the berry to the Pokémon by dragging the berry onto the Pokémon.
- Throw the Poké Ball right afterwards. This makes it easier to capture.
What you should consider with the berries in "Pokémon Go"
If you want to use the berries when catching a Pokémon, there are a few things you should consider. We show you how best to catch Pokémon with berries:
- Ideally, only use berries if you would otherwise have to waste too many Poké Balls or fear that the Pokémon would otherwise run away. This happens especially when it has a high WP value and is difficult to catch.
- Throw the Poké Ball as soon as possible after feeding the berry. Then the Pokémon likes you for a short moment and you have an easier catch.
- Remember that you should only use one berry when you want to catch the Pokémon. If you do not succeed in catching the berry, you can no longer use the berry, which again costs you unnecessary Poké Balls. So you should plan the deployment well.
- Some users report that the berry can be used again after a few tries. This should be possible especially if the Pokémon frees itself from the Poké Ball despite trying to catch berries.

Update: new berries in "Pokémon Go"
With the update of the second generation there are now new berries in "Pokémon Go". We will introduce you to the berries other than the raspberry:
- Nanabbeere: Use this berry in "Pokémon Go" to slow down the wild Pokémon. This will make it easier for you to catch.
- Sanana berry: The use of this berry doubles the candies that you will receive afterwards. The prerequisite is, of course, that the attempt to catch it is successful.
- Golden Raspberry: You will receive this berry as a reward after a raid. The item significantly increases the chance of catching a Pokémon. You can also feed them in arenas. The motivation of the Pokémon is completely filled.
Important: You can only use one berry per attempt. There is no point in combining the berries. Soon there will also be more berries. So far, "Bluk Berry" to prevent the attack and "Wepar Berry" to increase the throwing angle are known. When the two new berries will be integrated into the game is still unclear.
Use berries in arenas
Berries can also be used in arenas with the new Pokémon GO arena update.
- To keep your own Pokémon and the pocket monsters of your team members in an arena for longer, their motivation must always be kept high enough.
- By tapping any Pokémon in the arena, you can feed it with a berry of your choice, increasing its motivation.
