Golden Razz Berry
Golden Razz Berry makes a wild Pokémon 2.5× easier to catch. The strongest catch booster in Pokémon GO — save for legendary raids and Mythicals.
Golden Razz Berries are the top-tier catch booster — 2.5× catch rate per throw. Significantly more powerful than standard Razz.
Niantic deliberately gates Golden Razz: they only come from raid completions (1-3 per win, scaling with damage) and rare research rewards. Plan your usage.
For maximum effect, stack with Excellent + Curveball + First Throw bonuses on a Tier 5 raid catch.
2.5× catch rate for the next throw only.
Restores ~75 motivation (a full bar) to one defender. The strongest gym restoration.
Stack with throw bonuses. Each throw needs a separate berry. Pinap and Golden Razz can't be used on the same throw — pick one.

- ▸Always use Golden Razz on Tier 5 legendary raid catches — the difference between catching and the boss fleeing.
- ▸Save 3-5 Golden Razz for each legendary raid week — Niantic announces the boss schedule 1-2 weeks ahead.
- ▸For gym defenders you want to keep installed, Golden Razz restores full motivation — use sparingly.
