Pokéblocks are used to prepare a Pokémon for contests by raising its condition in the appropriate category or categories. The better a Pokémon's condition is in the category it is participating in, the better it will do in the contest's preliminary judging. In [[Generation III]], Pokéblocks can also be used in the {{safari|Hoenn}}, to attract Pokémon of certain [[Nature]]s by placing Pokéblocks in feeders or to make wild Pokémon less likely to escape in battle, by throwing Pokéblocks at them.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokéblocks were introduced in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', in which {{an|Chaz}} was seen feeding his {{p|Venomoth}} some Pokéblocks moments before the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He explained to {{an|Brock}} that he uses them as a snack along with Venomoth's main diet of [[Pokémon food]], adding that they are very nutritious.

After that, in ''[[AG033|Now That's Flower Power!]]'', {{an|May}} received a [[Pokéblock Case]] from [[Mr. Big]], who said that every [[Pokémon Coordinator]] has to have one. However, it was not until ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock, and Berry]]'' that May would learn to mix {{Berries}} in a [[Berry Blender]].

In ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', after picking several Berries from a garden, May went to make Pokéblocks for {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}. She created a recipe called '''May's Purple Surprise''' (Japanese: '''ハルカデリシャス''' ''Haruka Delicious''), which consisted of two [[Pecha Berry|Pecha Berries]], one [[Oran Berry]], one [[Bluk Berry]], and a small bit of [[Tamato Berry]].

After blending the Berries together, May offered some Pokéblocks to [[Max]] and Brock, but their reaction was not what she was expecting. May then proceeded to offer the Pokéblocks to her and {{ashfr|her friends}}' Pokémon, but they did not like her Purple Surprise either. May was disappointed with her lackluster results until a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|May|Munchlax}} appeared and ate all of the Pokéblocks.

May was disappointed with her lackluster results until a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|May|Munchlax}} appeared and ate all of the Pokéblocks.  


May was overjoyed and, after seeing the {{pkmn|category|Big Eater Pokémon}} being accused of stealing Pokéblocks from the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s staying at the [[Pokémon Center]], she decided to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. From that point onward, May has been giving Pokéblocks to Munchlax. She has received tips from {{an|Professor Oak}} to prepare a new kind of Pokéblock, which she called '''May's Pink Surprise''' (Japanese: '''ハルカデリシャス2''' ''Haruka Delicious 2''), able to suppress Munchlax's huge appetite.
