If the target is holding a Jaboca Berry or Rowap Berry, the berry is still removed, but has no effect.

If this move is super effective and the target is holding a berry that can reduce this move's damage, it will do so, and will not be stolen.

Flavor Text

: The user bites the foe. If the foe is holding a Berry, the user eats it and gains its effect.
