An Iapapa Berry in the anime

In Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry, Iapapa Berries were seen amongst the many other Berries sold at the Lilycove Berry Market.

In Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!, Ash's Oshawott used an Iapapa Berry as a temporary replacement for his lost scalchop. However, it ultimately failed when Ash's Pikachu used Thunderbolt on it, and it was burned and split in half, revealing it to be a stone fruit. Iris and Cilan tasted the Berry afterwards and claimed that it brought out the flavor.

Trivia
