serious fucking question

I'd rather recover 25% than 50% and get confused. It's a low reward for such a high risk. Especially for physical attackers, i.e. Belly Drum users.

Sitrus works at 50% health.
Those confusion berries work at like 25% health I believe.

It would only be good on pokemon with the ability own tempo

The berries only confuse the Pokemon if its nature is detrimental to the matching berry, i.e. a Figy Berry only confuses -Atk Nature Pokemon.
Gluttony Linoone loves Belly Drum Figy Berry now.

Risk vs reward.

confusion berries are 50% heal under 25% health, sitrus is 25% heal under 50% health, obviously sitrus is safer, so used in more multipurpose reasons etc. If you can use the confusion berries consistently/ safely, through high HP & defences or substitute sets, it is worth, but you will always risk getting KO'd at >25% hp.

You people realize they only confuse the Pokemon if they dislike the flavor, right?
Anyways, the main reason is that they only proc at 25% normally. Gluttony Pokemon can make use of it, since it will activate at 50% instead.

you know that 4 out of the 5 confusion berries wont actually confuse right, and youre just pretending to be stupid, right

The confusion berries are riskier because they only activate at <25% as opposed to Sitrus <50%. But the confusion berries are definitely better on Pokemon that have Gluttony.

Wonder if Snorlax + Gluttony + 50% berry + recycle would be viable

It basically gives a "Recover" to Snorlax

At the cost of its ability and item slot? Not really worth it.

>Heatmor can also do this
>Fire Lash lowering defense means it could theoretically whittle down another recovering Pokemon and win the matchup

This sounds genuinely interesting. Maybe this is what they had in mind when giving this to Heatmor.

Could probably still run it with thick fat, Snorlax has the stats that it can pretty safely get its health as low as 25% but then it becomes riskier

Gluttony/Figi Berry/Recycle Snorlax is legit the new way to run it in VGC after that one dude placed in a tourney with it. It's the only Snorlax I've seen hanging around the 1600's, except for some janky AV trickroomlax that I admittedly almost lost to....

In any case, it's just a less risky version of some of the earlier defensive mons that become a nuisance if you fail to one-shot it or forgo running a strong physical attacker. A lot safer and more consistent than belly drum and AV, if more reliant on knowing when to recover and when to lay on the hurt.

having recover doesn't mean much when everything and its mother one shots it
