Held Item
If the holder is affected by any non-volatile status condition or confusion, it will consume its Lum Berry and cure its status condition. When forcibly consumed via Fling, Pluck, or Bug Bite, it also cures the consumer of its non-volatile status condition or confusion.
Bag item
When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures that Pokémon of its non-volatile status condition. This consumes the Lum Berry.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it can be used to cure any status condition on a Pokémon, or thrown near wild Pokémon to draw their attention.

- Main article: Lum Berry (EX Ruby & Sapphire 84)
Lum Berry is a Pokémon Tool card that was first introduced in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the Japanese ADV Era, as part of the Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip Constructed Starter Decks. It was printed in the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion. If this Trainer card is attached to a Pokémon, and the Pokémon has a Special Condition, that Pokémon recovers from all Special Conditions during Pokémon Checkup. This card has to be discarded afterwards.
A reprint of the card in Sword & Shield gave it errata that changes the timing of the effect to the end of each turn, rather than during Pokémon Checkup.
Trivia
Origin
The Lum Berry's design and name may be based on the Chinese/Japanese plum.
