In the Pokémon Adventures manga
A Pomeg Berry appeared in A Conk on Cranidos's Cranium as a part of Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine. In the Chuang Yi translation, it was referred as Rowap Berry instead, despite the obvious difference.
In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone II, a Pomeg 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
- Due to its ability to lower a Pokémon's HP EVs, it is famous for the Pomeg glitch, which can lower the HP of a Pokémon which has low HP so that it becomes a negative value.
