In the anime

An Iapapa Berry in the anime

In Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry, Iapapa Berries were among 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.

Iapapa Berries have made multiple appearances in the pile of Berries in Bewear's den, including The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair! and Mimikyu Unmasked!.

Iapapa Berries were one of the many different kinds of Berries seen in A Team-on-Team Tussle!.

Multiple Iapapa Berries, among many other Berries, appeared in Currying Favor and Flavor!, where Ash and Pikachu found them inside a hollowed-out stump in Lush Jungle while looking for a Miracle Seed to be used as a dish ingredient.

In the manga

An Iapapa Berry in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

An Iapapa Berry appeared in Chancing Upon Chingling, being one of the Berries that Diamond and Lax used to slip a Galactic Grunt at the Team Galactic HQ so that Diamond could take his clothes and disguise himself as a Grunt.

In PASM11, multiple Iapapa Berries appeared in the pile of Berries gathered by a group of Pokémon at Lush Jungle while helping Moon in her search for a special Mirage Berry.
