Ash first met Gible in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. [[Wilma]] explained that Gible was trying his best to learn the move {{m|Draco Meteor}}. But for some reason, the move always failed; instead of exploding in the sky, it always fell to the ground and hit {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Ash wanted to help the wild Gible learn Draco Meteor and achieve his dreams. It successfully used the move against {{TRT}}, but failed again in his next attempt. By the end of the episode, Gible decided to start following Ash. Gible, with Ash's help, has tried to master using the move. Most of the time, the move fails and, in a recurring gag, accidentally hits {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, although it has been used [[DP164|on one occasion]] to find Piplup once the latter went missing, and on [[DP173|another occasion]] to differentiate it from another Piplup, which turned out to be a {{p|Ditto}}. Since the addition of {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} to {{an|Dawn}}'s party, it became a recurrent gag that Togekiss would defend Piplup from Gible's slowly improving, but still failing, Draco Meteor and gracefully shoot it back to Gible and Ash. Eventually, Gible mastered Draco Meteor in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

In ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', Ash met with Gible again. {{an|Barry}} also was interested in catching him. However, Gible decided to let Ash capture him after he saw what Ash would do to protect him. After that, Barry demanded a battle with Ash and his new Gible and was able to defeat it with {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}}.

Like {{AP|Torterra}} during its time as a {{p|Turtwig}}, Gible seems to enjoy latching onto Ash's head as well as other peoples' heads (at first, like Turtwig, it used to chomp onto Ash's and other people's heads but after a little while it seemed to just latch onto people's heads without actually hurting them). Later on, he showed his habit also included rocks and tree trunks, among other objects. This also goes for things that look like those, as seen when Gible started to bite on [[Conway]]'s Shuckle, as though it were a rock. Gible also has the ability to devour almost any kind of metals, seen when Gible devoured two of Team Rocket's giant robots, and half of a city park. Ash also said in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' that Gible can bite at anything, including moves. Despite appearing to be quite gutsy, he is not very bright and is slow to understand simple requests or orders; on one occasion, he chewed away a section of rock despite it falling into a creek as a result, and still chewed at the rock underwater not seeming to realize it could drown and had to be saved by {{AP|Buizel}}.

Ash used Gible in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' in his [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] battle against [[Conway]]. Gible was called in when Conway's Shuckle proved to be too strong for both {{AP|Donphan}} and {{AP|Noctowl}}. Gible managed to defeat Shuckle with a very close-range Draco Meteor and perfect the move at the same time. It was then briefly used against Lickilicky before being recalled. Finally, Gible was called out after Noctowl and Donphan fell to {{p|Dusknoir}} and after a tough battle, Gible defeated Dusknoir.

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', he appeared again in the semi-finals, to battle {{si|Tobias}}. Although he manages to hit Tobias's {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Rock Smash}}, Darkrai recovers almost immediately and uses {{m|Ice Beam}} on Gible. Gible dodges it and uses Draco Meteor back at Darkrai. Darkrai also dodged it and finished Gible with a {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack.
