Effect
Held item
If the holder is asleep, it will consume its held Chesto Berry and cure it of sleep. When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, Bug Bite, or Item Urge, it also cures the consumer of sleep. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, it instead cures the holder of drowsiness.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures that Pokémon of sleep (or, in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, drowsiness). This consumes the Chesto Berry.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it can be used to cure a drowsy Pokémon, or thrown near wild Pokémon to draw their attention.
