OK here are a few of my own, if someone could GP them that'd be awesome.
Apicot Berry (stole this from AG)
<p>Despite being part of the pinch Berry family, the Apicot Berry will only activate with the wrong effect at the worst moment possible. Like the other pinch Berries, the Apicot Berry requires the user's health to be well under 25%, which isn't exactly the best opportunity to boost your Pokemon's Special Defense. At this point, the user is in definite KO range, meaning that a Special Defense boost would be a wasted effort. Unless your Pokemon has some reliable way to recover health instantly, the Apicot Berry should never be an option over staple items such as Leftovers.</p>
Coba Berry
<p>The Coba Berry is a type-resist Berry that weakens the power of super effective Flying-type moves. While this may sound like a boon to certain Pokemon, particularly Breloom and Heracross, it becomes less so when it's made apparant that Flying-type moves are rarely seen in OU play. In most cases, the two aforementioned Pokemon will make much better use of other items, such as Toxic Orb for the former and Choice Scarf for the latter. What's more, the main use of Coba Berry is to ensure that both Pokemon survive a Flying-type attack to set up and then proceed to sweep, a strategy both Pokemon find very hard to accomplish even after the setup.</p>
Enigma Berry
<p>While the Enigma Berry sounds fantastic at a glance, being able to heal 25% after being struck by a super effective attack, in practice it is far too situational to see any use in competitive play. In most cases, your Pokemon will be hit by neutral attacks far more than super effective attacks, and as a good player, you should be avoiding situations where your Pokemon encounters a super effective attack in the first place. It should also be noted that the health gain happens after the Pokemon is hit, which means it must be at full health to ensure it doesn't faint from the attack and to make any kind of use out of this Berry.</p>
