Is a Sitrus Berry or an Oran Berry better?

Question

Oran Berry heals ten damage but Sitrus Berry can heal random damage so which one do you suggest?

Answer 1

Sitrus berry is normally better because it heals 25% of the user's max hp and the user's max hp is normally more than 40 so it will recover more.Oran berry is better for Little Cup though.

Answer 2

It depends, but in general, a sistrus berry is better. The main reason being that oran only restores a fixed 10 HP, which is generally quite awful on Pokemon with high HP. But Sistrus restores a percentage of HP. So it will always restore more on higher Hp Pokemon.

On low HP Pokemon however, sitrus may not be the right choice. If a Pokemon only has say 14 HP (in LC for example) then Sitrus is only going to restore 25% of that. Not a lot. But an Oran would restore way more.

hope I helped ^.^

The problem and only Problem with Sitrus is when the Hp of the holder is below 40; where even at 39 Hp, it'll only restore 9 Hp vs Oran's 10; due to how the calculations is done.

Answer 4

Sitrus is better but Oran can be useful in LC...
