Bonsly follows Ash and co. on their mission to rescue Pikachu in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Later, Brock captures a baby Bonsly and takes care of it.

In King and Queen for a Day, a Bonsly and Mime Jr. that were stars of a television show went missing and were discovered to be sick when they were found, so Brock's Bonsly and James's Mime Jr. had to fill in for them.

Trivia

Bonsly's US name was revealed on 16th June 2005.
In the 9th pokémon movie it's name is pronounced witn a long e sound, but in Battle Frontier it is pronounced with a long i sound.

Origin

It may be based on petrified wood, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a flowerpot. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the bonsai tree itself.

Name origin

Bonsly's name is a combination of bonsai, miniature trees, and sly.

It's Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘っぱち usoppachi, downright lie. It could also be a combination of 嘘 uso, false, and 鉢 hachi, flowerpot, which might be more likely since it can use an attack called fake tears.
