Obtainability
Berry trees
- Main article: Berry trees
Berries are principally obtained by harvesting them from berry trees, which can be found in most tillage-viable areas—namely routes and forests, wherein most berry-tree allotments can be found.
Berry trees are monoproductional, meaning that they will return the exact-same berry archetype each time it grows. Most berry trees will regrow after three real-world days have elapsed; the only outlier to that is the EV-berry trees, which regrow after 4 days.
Berry Towers
- Main article: Berry Towers
Berry Towers are sites peculiar to PRO that are one of the most prolific hotbeds for berry-obtaining, as they reward its challengers with EV-reductive berries. The only one currently available is stationed on Route 13 in Kanto.
The Berry Tower challenge entails carrying a full on-hand lineup of level-50-plus Pokémon and defeating a gauntlet of NPCs en route to the top floor; losing to any one of them will effectively forfeit the reward payout, since you will respawn in a Pokémon Center and be precluded from rechallenging it until the cooldown time has elapsed (which is initiated as soon as you venture into the challenge).
For a fee of 
2,000, you can do the elite-mode challenge of the Berry Tower; this will reward the entire gamut of EV-reductive berries contingent that you complete it. The elite-mode challenge has a three-day cooldown, as opposed to the standardly one-day cooldown.
Berry shops
Upon defeating the Pumpkin King boss on Route 6, a berry-vendor will be made accessible in Goldenrod City Flower Shop. He will sell all EV-reductive berries for 3,000 apiece, thereby providing the most prolific avenue of obtaining them for those that are affluent enough to expend the requisite Pokédollars for them.
Extra-organic usages
All non-EV-reductive berries can be sold to the item-buyers that exist on the first floor of all Department Stores for 20 apiece, thereby providing a more marginal method of moneymaking for those that have plentifully collected berries.
