Pinap Berry
Pinap Berry doubles candy from a successful catch. Use during Community Day, Spotlight Hour, or any candy-grinding session.
Pinap Berries are the candy multiplier. Successfully catching a Pokémon after feeding a Pinap doubles the candy reward (4 candy → 8 candy on a wild catch).
The key word is 'successful' — if the Pokémon flees after you feed the Pinap, no candy bonus. Pair with Razz or Curveball to maximize catch rate first.
Silver Pinap (rarer) doubles candy AND boosts catch rate by 1.8×. Use Silver for tough catches; Pinap for everything else.
Catch rate unchanged. Doubles candy reward on successful catch.
