Since the release of the second generation of Pokemon games, berries have been a staple item, allowing players to use them for a variety of things. In Pokemon GO, the items are incredibly useful, allowing players to catch Pokemon more easily or reap more rewards when catching them.
With Pokemon GO releasing its heavily anticipated GO Beyond update this week, there are plans to change various aspects of gameplay, such as increasing the game’s level cap from 40 to 50, introducing a new Seasons mechanic, new Pokemon, and more. However, one additional unexpected change has arrived today, buffing several berries in the game.
As an update was pushed to the game yesterday, a group of dataminers known as PokeMiners on Twitter noticed that the properties of several of the game’s berries have been increased, making them even more useful to players. The berries that received buffs were the Silver Pinap Berry, the Golden Razz Berry, and the Nanab Berry.
The Silver Pinap Berry, which previously gave players twice the amount of candy for catching a wild Pokemon, now gives players 2.333 times the usual amount of candy, as well as doubling the amount of Affection Points and Hunger Points given when fed to a Buddy Pokemon. Like the Silver Pinap Berry, the Golden Razz Berry now also doubles the amount of Affection Points a Buddy Pokemon receives from one to two, and its Hunger Points from three to six. Finally, Pokemon GO‘s Nanab Berry, which previously decreased the chance that a wild Pokemon would attack a player to five percent, has been buffed by further decreasing the chance of attack to zero, making the Pokemon much more easy to throw a Poke Ball at.
Niantic has achieved great success with Pokemon GO, steadily finding ways to make the game more engaging by regularly adding new items, Pokemon, and mechanics to the game. Aside from the gameplay itself, the game has even made strong efforts to support communities such as helping small businesses impacted by COVID-19.
Although this is certainly not a revolutionary update for Pokemon GO, it is one more step in addition to others that Niantic has taken in order to make the game more accessible to players both new and old, especially with its play-at-home features in light of COVID-19. It will be interesting to see if any more surprise updates come to players as Pokemon GO‘s Season of Celebration continues.
Pokemon GO is available now on Android and iOS.
