Berries (きのみ Berries) are common healing items that can either restore HP or cure certain status problem, as well as slightly filling up the Belly.

Grimy Food (ベトベタフード Sticky Food) is an item that fills a Pokémon's belly by 30 points at the cost of a negative effect. The effect is random, and can vary from lowering offensive stats to any status effect in the game. Grimy Food is most notable for replacing Apples and Gummis whenever the player activates a Grimy Trap. After the effects have taken place, it is not possible to restore these items.

They also have a chance to spawn in Kecleon Shops in Joyous Tower or Purity Forest, or can be found on all 15 floors in Darknight Relic.

Grimy Food can be bought for 5 Poké and sold for 1 Poké.

Chestnuts (イガグリ Chestnut) are a food item exclusive to the second last floor of Uproar Forest. They play a large role in a side plot during the main story. They fill up the belly by 50 points. This is the only item that uses the 'peel' option instead of the 'use', 'eat' or 'ingest' option that all other items have.

Chestnuts can be 3 Poké and sold for 1 Poké.

You will need either Rock Smash, a Ghost-type Pokémon, One-Room Orbs or Super Mobile in order to unearth buried items.

Seeds (Japanese: タネ Seeds) are also an item that can be eaten, with every single seed restoring a Pokémon's belly by 5 points. They all share the same sprite. Seeds can have different effects once eaten, and can range from helpful things like dealing damage to enemies, or negative effects such as blocking out or mixing up a Pokémon's vision. Seeds can be placed and given to both a leader and a partner. They can also be thrown in a one-way direction, and if there is a Pokémon in the way, they have a chance of eating the seed and also gaining its effect.

Health Drinks

Health Drinks are also a type of edible item in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, and use the 'ingest' option. They all use the same sprites, and all fill the Pokémon's belly by 5 points.

If one happens to become sticky, it can still be ingested and a Pokémon, but aside from the gained effect 2 damage will also be dealt. This also occurs whenever the item is thrown at another Pokémon.
