Watmel Berries in the anime
A Watmel Berry plant appeared in PK23. Snivy used a Watmel Berry from the plant to lead a Snorlax away from the hole which the Rinka Berry fell into, as it had rolled on top of the hole.
Its description claims that it can grow over 20 inches (50 cm), making it the largest Berry; however, ones the player obtains are only 9.8 inches (25 cm), behind several Berries such as the Kelpsy Berry—the largest Berry, at 15 inches (38.1 cm).
