Berries and Apricorns list
As you know from Pokemon Gold and Silver, there are eight types of berries that you can find as well as Apricorns during your journey. While Apricorns aren't edible, the berries are, but only for the Pokemon! Here is a handy list that tells you about the different berries and what they do for your friendly partner.

Persim/Bitter Berry | Removes confusion
Rawst/Burnt Berry | Clears FRZ status
Aspear/Ice Berry | Clears BRN status
Chesto/Mint Berry | Clears SLP status

*Only will be given out during events as a minor prize.
As stated before, these berries are only for the Pokemon! If a trainer happens to eat one, they will experience different problems depending on the berry. Below is a list of the effects that happen if a human tries to eat one of the above berries.
Oran Berry | Nothing, but it tastes pretty disgusting and waxy.
Persim/Bitter Berry | Tastes bitter. Induces hallucinations and nausea.
Rawst/Burnt Berry | Tastes like charcoal, causes the tongue to swell for up to four hours.
Aspear/Ice Berry | Tastes dry at first. Induces chills and a terrible fever that lasts for one day and one night.
Chesto/Mint Berry | Tastes sweet and minty. Induces slothlike behavior that can relax an individual in very mild doses, otherwise it can make a human pass out.
Lum/Miracle Berry | Tastes very strange, a little waxy and a little sweet. Behaves like any of the other berries and causes the runs.
Cheri/PRZCureBerry | Tastes sour. Causes severe aches and pains similar to Arthritic pain in the knees and knuckles, wears off after two grueling hours of sharp pain.
Pecha/PSNCureBerry | Tastes spicy from mild to very hot. Inflames the throat and causes swelling that makes it very difficult to breathe. Lasts for only a short burst of ten minutes.
Sitrus/Gold Berry | If you thought the Oran berry tasted waxy enough, this is over 9000 times worse. Plus, that taste? Lingers. For a solid week. Have fun trying to taste anything over this.
The other types of items you will find in the same bushes as the berries are Apricorns! They aren't for eating though, for humans or Pokemon; they're for making special pokeballs, and they aren't for everyone. Kurt of Azalea Town is the only one in all of Johto who can make pokeballs out of these Apricorns, and he only picks trainers he thinks are worthy of using them properly.
There will be several opportunities based on mini-events where trainers can compete with each other to impress Kurt and make him allow them the chance to try one of the specialized pokeballs. It will generally be through battle and how well you treat your pokemon.

Black Apricorn (BLK) | Heavy Ball
Blue Apricorn (BLU) | Lure Ball
Green Apricorn (GRN) | Friend Ball
Pink Apricorn (PNK) | Love Ball
