Sitrus Berry
DE: Tsitrubeere · Cost: 80 ₽
Sitrus Berry is a berry a Pokémon eats on its own during battle to heal HP. It is the most reliable healing berry, and in FireRed/LeafGreen it hides at secret berry spots.
What does the item do?
Consumed at half max HP to recover 1/4 max HP. A Berry to be consumed by Pokémon. If a Pokémon holds one, it can restore its own HP by a small amount during battle.
Effect numbers are modern rules. FRLG may differ. See Q&A.

Eaten automatically at half max HP, heals a quarter of max HP. The trigger is 50% of max HP, the heal is 25%. In Generation 3, which includes FireRed/LeafGreen, the berry heals a flat 30 HP instead; the 25% rule starts in Generation 4. Once eaten, the berry is gone. Compared to Leftovers it heals instantly at the critical moment, while Leftovers returns more total HP over long fights.
In FireRed/LeafGreen you can find Sitrus Berry here: Route 6 and Route 23. The spots on Route 6 and Route 23 are hidden in the field. The Itemfinder from Prof. Oak's aide on Route 11 (30 species required) reveals them reliably.
The best berry for a story run. No luck involved and no tricky condition: the heal arrives exactly when things get tight. In Nuzlocke runs it is strong because it saves a healing turn. In versus play it has lost ground to Leftovers and the bigger berries of newer generations, but it stays a solid pick on almost any holder.
