Pokémon UNITE
InPokémon UNITE, Sitrus Berries appear on all of the game's stages. In theStandard Battle andRanked Battle stages ofRemoat Stadium andTheia Sky Ruins, they appear in pairs just behind the forward-mostgoal zones of each team. Other stages in the game follow this pattern as well. InMer Stadium, only one of the two Sitrus Berries is located on the road behind the forward-most goal zones. The other is placed just off of the road, slightly behind the first. WhileAuroma Park features shared goal zones, two Sitrus Berries still appear near each goal zone, although they are closer to the mouth of the upper left and bottom right corners of the map.Shivre City is an exception, featuring a string of Sitrus Berries on the paths between the goal zones.
Eating a Sitrus Berry heals the player who used it. Players are able to eat the Sitrus Berries located on the opponents' side of the map. Most Pokémon are unable to eat Sitrus Berries while at full health, butGreedent is allowed to do so due to its Berry focused moveset. Sitrus Berries respawn after being used when a certain amount of time has passed. However, Sitrus Berries will stop appearing and despawn if the goal zone they are associated with is destroyed.
