Azumarill's HP at the Battle Maison?

Question

Basically, at the Battle Maison, I use my BellyJet Azumarill as part of my team for some easy wins.

My Azumarill has 31 IVs and 252 EVs in HP. However, when my she's automatically set to level 50, her HP is 207, which is an uneven number and doesn't activate her Sitrus Berry because her HP is still in the green zone due to rounding up.

Is there any way that I can get her to eat her Sitrus Berry without reducing her HP?

Answer 1

Nope.

The Sitrus berry only activates when your HP is under 50%, and since there is no move/ability that forces a Pokemon to eat a berry, the only way for you to get the Sitrus Berry strategy to work would it to take out 8 HP EVs (feed it a Pomeg Berry and then train it 2 more HP EVs).

Sources - math and knowledge.

Answer 2

No.

With HP rounding, you must be at 103 HP or less in order for your Sitrus Berry to kick in.

Alternatively, however, you can breed for 29 HP IVs or remove 8 EVs, resulting in your Azumarill having 206 HP. Otherwise, there's no way that Pokemon can eat that berry.
