In the [[Pokémon anime]], Poffins were introduced in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan]]'', where the group were given a course in making Poffins. {{an|Brock}} was naturally the best on the first try, but  {{an|Dawn}} soon produced good-quality Poffins after a bit of practice. {{Ash}}, however, was not so successful. Since then, Dawn has occasionally been seen giving Poffins to her Pokémon as treats for good performances. {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} are particularly fond of them.

In the [[Pokémon anime]], Poffins were introduced in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', in which {{an|Dawn}} saw a poster for a Poffin cooking class and convinced {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} to take the class with her. She told them that Poffins are snacks made from {{Berries}} and Ash quickly associated them with [[Hoenn]]'s [[Pokéblock]]s. Dawn also mentioned that Poffins are given to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to keep them healthy and looking good and revealed that she used to help [[Johanna|her mother]] when she was making Poffins.


Twice in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Dawn gave {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}} some of her Poffins, which Shaymin enjoyed. However, they seemed to cause Shaymin to need to release smoke through its mouth after swallowing.
The class was taught by [[Forsythia]], who explained that in order to make Poffins, one has to put the Berries in a pot of cold water and turn the heat up while stirring without interruptions, since the constant stirring is what gives Poffins their [[flavor]]. Brock wrote down these instructions on a notebook, which helped him when he and the others were making Poffins by themselves. Dawn used the {{DL|Pokétch|Kitchen Timer}} on her [[Pokétch]] to time her cooking, explaining to Ash that Poffins may burn if kept on the heat too long.

Once Dawn's Poffin dough was fully cooked down, she poured it into the mold, with Brock watching closely and taking notes. Unlike Dawn and Brock, Ash had trouble stirring and ended up with a plate full of burnt Poffins. When the group brought their Pokémon out of their [[Poké Ball]]s to eat the Poffins, {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} seemed to like his Poffins, while {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} rejected his burnt Poffins to eat the ones Forsythia had made. {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon}} did not like the Poffins she had prepared and she became confused since she had used the recipe Johanna always uses when making Poffins for her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. Although her Pokémon disliked the snacks, {{MTR}} from {{TRT}} loved it. Later, Dawn tried a different recipe she made especially for her Pokémon, and this time {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} all approved the taste of her Poffins.
 
Since then, Dawn has often been seen giving Poffins to her Pokémon, either to motivate them during {{pkmn|training}} sessions or to compensate them for their efforts in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Pachirisu is particularly fond of them and its love of Poffins has been featured in multiple episodes. In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Pachirisu came back to its senses after the scent of a Poffin Dawn had tossed in the air captured its attention. In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', it started a rivalry with [[Ursula's Gabite]] after she stepped on its Poffin. [[Ursula]] offered one of her own Poffins to Pachirisu, but it refused, causing Ursula to take offense.
 
Dawn was also seen making Poffins in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' during her stay at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s {{si|Pokémon Mansion|mansion}}. A gluttonous {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} living in the [[Trophy Garden]] found her Poffins to be delicious and could not get enough of them. It was later {{pkmn2|caught}} by Dawn. Dawn's Poffins have also appeared in the second {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which Dawn gave {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}} some of her Poffins, which Shaymin enjoyed. However, they seemed to cause Shaymin to need to release smoke through its mouth after swallowing.
