Nomel Berries in the anime

In Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry, slices of a Nomel Berry were handed out as free samples. Pikachu liked it, but Ash was overwhelmed by its sourness.

In PK23, Oshawott showed Meloetta, Pikachu, and Snivy a Nomel Berry plant in their search for a Rinka Berry, certain that it was a Rinka plant. When they told Oshawott it was the wrong plant, Oshawott stubbornly ate a Nomel Berry, only to find it was too sour. Meowth and Wobbuffet, who were following Meloetta, found the Berries and decided to eat them, only to be overwhelmed by its sourness.

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

In The Ol' Raise and Switch!, Nomel Berries were a part of a meal Lillie gave to Pikachu.

In SM064, a Nomel Berry was at the nest of a group of wild Passimian.
