How to make Paint from berries
Paint is crafted, not found — give a berry to a Crush-specialty Pokémon and the berry's color determines the paint color you get back.
Paint has no direct gathering method; it's produced by handing a berry to a Crush-specialty Pokémon (Onix and Tyranitar both qualify) and requesting Paint. The color of the berry you feed in determines the color of Paint you receive, which makes berry farming the real bottleneck for building a full color palette: Leppa gives Red, Chesto gives Blue, Lum gives Green, Aspear gives Yellow, Pecha gives Pink, and Rawst gives Cyan.
Leppa Berry is the only one of the six that grows automatically in every save without planting — just headbutt its tree in Withered Wasteland — so Red Paint is the color you'll have easy, repeatable access to from the start. Every other color needs its berry's seed found first (near Smeargle's hut and the waterfall on Bleak Beach for Chesto and Aspear, the Lava Lake side path and past Gimmighoul's Manor in Rocky Ridges for Pecha and Lum, and hanging vines on Sparkling Skylands' upper-left island for Rawst) before you can plant, grow, and harvest a renewable supply.
White and Black Paint are rarer bonus drops from certain berries rather than tied to one dedicated color source, so don't expect a guaranteed recipe for either.
