Pokemon Sword and Shield: Berry Guide

Pokemon Sword and Shield bring back Berries which were introduced back in Generation 2. Berries are a little bit different in Sword and Shield, but still retains some of the older Berries from older games. You can find Berries by shaking Berry Trees which are available throughout the Galar Region or you can find them through the Berry Shop in Wedgehurst.

There is a section in your bag which is allocated specifically for Berries as well. Here is a guide on Berries and their uses in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
