Growth Mulch is a type of Mulch in the Pokémon series, primarily used in the context of Berry farming. When Spread on soft soil, Growth Mulch decreases the amount of time it takes for a planted Berry to grow by 25%. This means that Berry plants will reach their final stage of growth faster, allowing players to harvest Berries more frequently than they would otherwise.
Growth Mulch first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and has since been a useful tool for trainers looking to optimize their Berry farming operations. The accelerated growth rate is particularly beneficial for players who are engaged in competitive play or extensive Berry blending activities, where a steady supply of Berries is crucial.
One interesting aspect of Growth Mulch is its role in advanced Berry management strategies. While it speeds up growth, players must also consider other factors, such as the total yield of Berries and the need to water the plants more frequently to prevent them from drying out. This interplay of variables makes the use of Growth Mulch
