Berries have been a part of the mainlinePokemongames since the second generation, but they weren’t given proper names until the third generation. Unsurprisingly, berries are a part of the gameplay inPokemon GO. Trainers can’t catch Pokemon by weakening them with their own team. Instead, they can use three types of berries before throwing a Poke Ball: Razz Berry, Nanab Berry, and Pinap Berry.
While the Razz Berry and Nanab Berry can make it easier to catch Pokemon, the Pinap Berry is different. In the mainline games, Pinap Berries were only used for making Poffins and Poke Blocks. InPokemon GO, Pinap Berries should be used when trainers need to farm Candy.
