Floccesy Town appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. On the way there, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were attacked by a group of wild {{p|Amoonguss}}, which, as they soon found out, were only some of the many wild Pokémon that had attacked the town recently. Wanting to find the reason to all this, they decided to investigate an old, abandoned observatory on a nearby mountain. On the way there, they encountered [[Looker]], who revealed that he was in [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]]. Sure enough, the group soon found out that Team Plasma was behind the mysterious Pokémon rampages, it being the side effect of [[Colress]]'s Pokémon controlling experiments. During the group's confrontation with Team Plasma, {{TRT}} used one of their mini-drones to hack Colress's computer and steal his research data. Team Plasma promptly left the observatory and blew it up in their wake, destroying any evidence of their actions there. Afterwards, Ash and his friends continued their journey to the [[White Ruins]], while Looker departed them to continue his investigations.
