In the mainline Pokemon games, Poffins are a type of food that can be given to a Pokemon. They made their debut in Diamond/Pearl and essentially functioned like Ruby/Sapphire's Poke Blocks. Poffins are used not as healing items, making them distinct from Berries and Potions. Instead, they raise a Pokemon's Conditions, special stats that are exclusive to Pokemon Contests. Pokemon GO make Poffins accessible to trainers, but their purpose is very different from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl.
