Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is the latest game that does things differently compared to the previous games and has new elements. If you’ve spent enough hours in the game, you must know about EV (Effort Value), a special stat that your pokemon gain from catching or defeating wild pokemon. However, EV training isn’t permanent and if you aren’t satisfied with the way your pokemon stats are maxed out, you can feed it berries to reduce its stats and train it in a different way. However, not many players know about the EV-reducing berries in the game. Well, that’s where this article comes in. If you want a list of EV-reducing berries that are featured in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, your search ends here.
All EV Reducing Berries List in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Grepa Berry
Grepa Berry is one of the EV-reducing berries that can make the pokemon friendly towards you. This berry lowers the pokemon’s special defense EV by 10 points. You can obtain Grepa Berry through multiple ways including the Porto Marinada Auctions, Tera Raid Battle Rewards, and lastly as a reward from the Emotional Spectrum Practice Rerun. It has a 10-base power fling damage and is a berry you should consider getting.
Kelpsy Berry
Kelpsy Berry is another excellent berry that you can feed your pokemon to lower its EV stats. When you use it, it’ll make your pokemon friendly toward you, and reduces its attack EV by 10 points. Like Grepa, it also has a 10-base power of fling damage. You can get it via the Porto Marinada auction or by taking part in 5-star raid battles.
