In the anime

An Iapapa Berry in the anime

Iapapa Berries debuted in Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry, where they were being 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 afterward and claimed that it brought out the flavor.

Iapapa Berries have made multiple appearances in the pile of Berries in Bewear's den during Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.

Iapapa Berries appeared in A Team-on-Team Tussle!.

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

In Real Life...Inquire Within!, Iapapa Berries were included in the basket of Berries given to Ash and his classmates' Pokémon by Anela.
