Diamond & Pearl arc
In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone II, a Chilan Berry was seen among the many Berries that Cyrus's Probopass's Mini-Noses dug out of Lax's fur while trying to retrieve Cyrus's camera.
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 English and German descriptions incorrectly state that they "weaken a supereffective Normal-type attack" like the other damage-reducing Berries. This error is not present in the original Japanese version or in other languages.
Origin
The Chilan Berry's design and name may be based on a Chinese lantern.
