The first appearance of the International Police in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks!]]'', when [[Looker]] debuted. However, he did not reveal that he was an International Police agent until ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]'', where he was spying on [[Team Galactic]] disguised as a {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}, who were trying to locate the [[Spear Pillar]].

Looker again met Ash and his friends in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'' at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the [[White Ruins]]. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains. He also appeared in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existence.

Another member of the International Police, [[Tedesco]], appeared in ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]''. He first  appeared spying on the cruise ship {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} were traveling on, when [[Mrs. Ripple]] invited them to her room to see her jewel collection. After Cilan accused [[Teaque]] to be the thief of Mrs. Ripple's jewel, the "Eye of Liepard", he finally showed up in front of everybody by stopping {{p|Vanillite}}'s {{m|Blizzard}} with {{p|Growlithe}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and revealed his true identity.

The International Police, including [[Looker]], appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', inspecting [[Giovanni]] and [[Team Rocket]].
