After a few dozen hours in Pokémon Pokopia, berries quietly became the bottleneck for my Pokédex, habitats, and comfort upgrades. The game doesn’t explain them well, but the actual routes are simple once you know them:
PXCQG03S) and the Pokémon Center’s 3D printer to clone every berry tree quickly.If you just want everything fast, the developer island + 3D printer method is the core of this guide. The natural trees and shop seeds are still worth knowing so you aren’t stuck if the exploit is ever patched.
Berries aren’t just snacks here; they’re tied into several mid- and late-game systems:
Because berries feed into all of that at once, being able to farm them on demand saves a lot of backtracking later.
The game’s first hint that you can get berries at all is in Estepa Estéril, and it’s easy to miss if you rush through.
Location: Estepa Estéril, the very first zone.
Scattered across the starting area are small fruit trees that produce Zanama berries. To harvest them:
These trees respawn berries over time, so if you’re still early and don’t want to touch exploits, you can loop the area every so often and stockpile a decent amount. It’s slow but safe.
Location: Mountain top directly above the cave where you first start the game, still in Estepa Estéril.

Once you can access the mountain above the starting cave, look around the summit area for another cluster of berry trees. These produce Safre berries. The harvesting works identically:
Safre is one of the first non-basic berries you’ll see, so it’s worth grabbing a handful whenever you pass through Estepa Estéril. I kept one loop in my routine: starting cave → climb to summit → headbutt everything → move on.
Common mistake: ignoring these early trees once you discover cloning later. They’re still useful when you don’t want to spend rare ingots on cloning low-tier trees.
Once you’ve restored at least one Pokémon Center, you unlock the daily shop rotation. This is the “legit” long-term way to get all berry types without any exploits.
Inside a rebuilt Pokémon Center, talk to the shop clerk. Among the rotating “items of the day”, you’ll often see:

The stock changes daily (real-time), so:
Once you have berry seeds or saplings in your inventory:
From my experience, planted trees don’t fruit instantly; you’ll need to wait a bit and then keep revisiting them. That delay is exactly why the developer island cloning method is so powerful – it lets you skip the “hunt for seeds” step and jump straight into mass farming.
This is the method that turns berries from a slow drip into an essentially infinite resource. It uses three systems together: Strange Glasses, cloud islands, and the Pokémon Center’s 3D printer.
Before you start, make sure you have:
Without NSO or rare ingots, you’ll be limited to the first two methods.
Inside the Pokémon Center:
The game will ask if you want to visit a cloud island. Confirm, and you’ll be prompted to enter a code.
When the game asks for the island code, input:
PXCQG03S
This sends you to the developers’ cloud island. Instead of a random player’s base, you land on a curated island that, crucially, has a garden containing all the berry trees planted together.
You can’t dig these up directly, but you can photograph them, which is where the 3D printer comes in.
On the developer island, walk to the garden with all the fruit trees. Then:
Y to switch to Object Mode (the mode used to capture objects instead of Pokémon).The important part is that the game registers each tree as an object in the photo; if you rush and only capture a corner, it might not work at the printer. I usually take a couple of extra shots per tree type just in case.
Once you’re done snapping photos, leave the island and return to a rebuilt Pokémon Center. Inside, look on the left side of the building for the 3D printer.

Interact with the 3D printer and:
You can now plant these cloned trees anywhere you can place normal saplings. They behave like regular berry trees: they grow and then can be headbutted for fruit as often as they refresh.
With cloned trees in your inventory:
From this point on, berries basically stop being a limited resource. You pay upfront in Strange Glasses, Nintendo Switch Online, and rare ingots, but the payoff is permanent convenience.
Important note on ethics and patches: this method uses systems the game clearly supports (cloud islands and the 3D printer), but visiting the dev island with a public code to mass-clone trees is close to an exploit and could be adjusted or removed in future updates. Use it if you’re comfortable with that, but don’t be surprised if it changes later.
Once you have a steady berry supply, a bit of organisation keeps you from wasting time or resources:
Handled this way, berries stop being something you actively grind and become just another background resource that refills itself while you focus on bigger objectives.
