In the anime

Tamato Berries in the anime

Tamato Berries served a comical purpose in The Lotad Lowdown and Berry, Berry Interesting, where several characters, including Team Rocket and Ash, would come across a Berry and try to eat it, only to be overwhelmed by its extreme spiciness, winding up with swollen lips for a while.

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

In Shocks and Bonds, Brock mentioned that an Ace Trainer named Katie, who battled Ash in the Ever Grande Conference, likes Tamato Berries in her spaghetti.

In Cooking Up a Sweet Story!, some Tamato Berries were seen in Abigail's Berry basket.

Lulu was seen growing some Tamato Berries in her garden in Three Sides to Every Story!, among with several other kinds of Berries.

In Double-Time Battle Training!, Candice stated that a treat called the "Snowpoint Tamato Berry Ice Cream Bar" had cold Ice Cream outside and spicy Tamato Berry Jelly on the inside, which Ash accidentally ate whole and which Dawn based her Daybreak Town appeals on.

A Tamato Berry plant appeared in PK23. Piplup showed Meloetta, Pikachu, and Snivy the plant in their search for a Rinka Berry, certain that it was a Rinka plant. When they told Piplup it was the wrong plant, Piplup stubbornly ate a Tamato Berry, only to find it was too spicy. Meowth and Wobbuffet, who were following Meloetta, found the Berries and decided to eat them, only to be overwhelmed by its spiciness.

Several Tamato Berries were seen at Sherman's Furfrou grooming salon in Grooming Furfrou!.

In XY079, Jessie used Tamato Berries as a part of her Dendemille Town Showcase performance.

In Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, Hoopa replaced a donut it took with a Tamato Berry, which was then blindly picked up and tasted by Chespin, who was immediately overwhelmed by the Berry's extremely spicy taste.

In the manga

A Tamato Berry in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone II, a Tamato Berry was seen amongst the many Berries that Cyrus's Probopass's Mini-Noses dug out of Lax's fur while trying to retrieve Cyrus's camera which Lax had hidden inside its fur.

Trivia

  • The Tamato Berry is the only one of the EV-reducing Berries that did not have the same growth time or Berry yield as the rest in Generation III, and the only Berry of its flavor group that does not have the same growth time as the rest in Generation IV.
