Payapa BerryStellar Crown #141 Pokémon Card

The Payapa Berry is a fictional item within the Pokémon universe, specifically a type of Berry. Berries in the Pokémon world are generally small, fruit-like items that can be given to Pokémon to provide various effects, such as restoring HP, curing status conditions, or boosting stats during battle. The Payapa Berry itself is known for reducing the damage taken from a super effective attack, making it a strategic item for trainers in the video games. It was introduced in the Generation IV games, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, released in 2006. While not a Pokémon itself, the Payapa Berry plays a role in the competitive metagame of the video games, allowing a Pokémon to withstand a powerful hit that would otherwise be devastating. Its bright pink color and distinct shape, often depicted as two connected spheres, make it visually recognizable among the diverse array of berries. In the anime and manga, berries are frequently shown as natural food sources for both wild and trained Pokémon, highlighting their importance in the ecosystem.
