Trivia

  • Unlike the other damage-reducing Berries, the Chilan Berry weakens attack damage (except by moves that deal direct damage) regardless of type effectiveness, instead of super effective damage only. This may be because Normal-type moves cannot normally be super effective.
  • The Chilan Berry does not weaken Present if it heals the target.
  • This is the only Berry which, when held, allows the move Natural Gift to be Normal-type.
  • Another Berry in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire has the same name. However, this Berry is exclusive to its relevant e-Reader card, hence it is unavailable in Generation IV games and will become an Enigma Berry if traded over.
  • When buying Chilan Berries in Join Avenue, the text will say "A set of four Chilan Berries. They weaken a supereffective Normal-type attack against the holding Pokémon." This is most likely a mistake since all other damage-reducing Berries only work if the attack is super-effective.

Origin

The Chilan Berry's design and name may be based on a Chinese lantern.
