In Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry, Iapapa Berries were seen 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 often appeared as part of a pile of Berries in Bewear's den.
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 SM035, 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.
