In A Conk on Cranidos's Cranium, a Pomeg Berry was a part of Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine. In the Chuang Yi translation, it was referred to as a Rowap Berry instead.
In Problematic Probopass and Mad Magnezone II, a Pomeg Berry was seen among the many Berries that Cyrus's Probopass's Mini-Noses dug out of Lax's fur while trying to retrieve Cyrus's camera.
