Something was missed on the Rawst Berry...
It's also a pun on "roast", which is why it cures burn.

-"Leppa" is "Apple" backwards, somewhat edited for correct English.
-"Oran" is derived from "Orange"
-"Lum" is derived from "Plum"
-"Iapapa" is derived from "Papaya". (I think... Not sure about this one. If you don't agree, don't add this one.)
-"Bluk" is derived from "Black Berry".
-"Nanab" is "Banana" backwards, minus the last "a".
-"Kelpsy" is derived from "Kelp". (I think... Not sure about this one. If you don't agree, don't add this one. Although note that Kelp is eaten in many places, such as Japan...)
-"Qualot" is derived from "Kumquat". (I think... Not sure about this one. If you don't agree, don't add this one.)
-"Hondew" is derived from "Honeydew".
-"Grepa" is a derived from "Grape".
-"Cornn" is a derived from "Corn".
-Nomel is "Lemon" backwards.
-"Durin" is derived from "Durian".
-"Tanga" is derived from "Tangerine".
-"Apicot" is derived from "Apricot".


There's a big bunch of 'em.

 

[Shadow Eeveelution]

#19 Wepear Berry = Wheat
#24 Hondew Berry = Honey Dew
#25 Grepa Berry = Grape
#27 Cornn Berry = Corn
#29 Rabuta Berry = Rambutan fruit
#34 Durin Berry = Durian fruit
#35 Belue Berry = Blue berry
#53 Liechi Berry = Lychee
#56 Petaya Berry = Papaya

Not a problem, Rayquaza Master777 ^^ Glad to help out :]

#30 Nomel Berry
"Nomel" is "lemon" spelled backwards, which explains the berry's sour taste.
