Watmel Berries in the anime
Watmel Berries first appeared in What You Seed is What You Get, where a whole fieldful of Watmel plants was being grown by Natasha. As Team Rocket tried to steal the Berries, Ash and his friends had to help Natasha in getting rid of them.
A Watmel plant appeared in PK23. Snivy used a Watmel Berry from the plant to lead Snorlax away from the hole which the Rinka Berry fell into, as it had rolled on top of the hole.
