Prior to the start of the series Lax was given to Diamond as an [[Egg]] and eventually hatched. He first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', performing in Diamond and {{adv|Pearl}}'s {{wp|Manzai|comedy}} routine in [[Jubilife City]]. Lax managed to ruin the skit by eating [[rice ball]]s instead of doing his part of the act, much to Pearl's frustration. Despite ruining the act, the audience found it funny, allowing Diamond and Pearl to win the special prize. Later the two are attacked by a group of {{p|Starly}} and Lax helps fend them off alongside the other Pokémon.
