Razz Berry
Razz Berry makes a wild Pokémon 1.5× easier to catch. Use it on tough escape-prone catches or as a basic catch-rate booster.
The Razz Berry is the most basic catch helper in Pokémon GO. Feeding one to a wild Pokémon before throwing increases the catch rate by ~1.5× for the next throw only.
Razz Berries are the easiest berry to obtain — earned routinely from PokéStops, Field Research, and gym defender returns. Most players have hundreds in their bag without trying.
For the 'guaranteed catch' tier (Tier 5 raids, regional rarities), use Golden Razz Berry instead — 2.5× catch rate.
1.5× catch rate for the next throw only.
Restores ~10 motivation to one defender. Less efficient than Pinap or Nanab.
