Rowlet also seems to be a very relaxed Pokémon, as shown in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', when it spent most of the episode not being bothered by what was going on around it, whether that included being splashed by water or being kidnapped by Team Rocket. Rowlet is often seen sleeping during the day, only waking up when it is needed by someone else, such as its Trainer. This character trait was shown in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'' and ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', when Ash called Rowlet out to battle against a Totem Pokémon and its ally, only to find it sleeping, in need of awakening. Moreover, it has been show to sleep through almost anything, even whilst being buried under sand, as shown in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', or even during battles, such as in ''[[SM133|Battling on the Wing!]]''. In its time as a wild Pokémon, it was even seen nodding off while being lectured by its caretaker, {{DL|Toucannon's flock|Trumbeak}}. However, this does not seems to be a trait common to Rowlet as a species, as in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', Rotom noted that it shouldn't be sleeping so much. Despite sleeping a lot, Rowlet doesn't get distracted by anything, as seen in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]'', when Ash decided to use it in his battle against [[Ryuki]] because it won't be distracted by his music.

Ash and Rowlet quickly bonded after meeting each other. Rowlet likes roosting and sleeping in his backpack, and even doesn't mind having company inside the bag as well, which was mainly shown with {{an|Light trio|Nebby}} and {{p|Meltan}}. Due to its naivety and inexperience, Rowlet tends to panic when it is separated from its Trainer; however, this shows its closeness to Ash. Its closeness to its Trainer was also shown when it would sit or sleep on Ash's head, although it would also sometimes sit on Ash's shoulders. Like other members of its species, Rowlet is capable of flying silently, as first shown in ''To Top a Totem!''. In the same episode, it took a chance by fighting against the Yungoos without being commanded. Additionally, in ''Currying Favor and Flavor!'', it was shown instinctively protecting Litten from getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}. These situations have shown that it is an independent and quick thinking Pokémon, as well as loyal to its friends. In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Ash noticed this and used its ability to get the upper hand over [[Hala]] and his {{p|Crabrawler}}. Rowlet is also a fast flyer, as shown in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'' when it was able to dodge a Z-Move with Rockruff in tow. Rowlet has been shown to be easily startled, as shown in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', where it was cowering in fear from the presence of a {{an|Stoutland}}, despite the fact that Stoutland was only licking it out of affection. It was also shown to be happy at the thought that Ash would be brought to tears of joy after it reunites with its Trainer and at the thought of {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} being scolded by {{an|Lana|its Trainer}}.

Rowlet started to take a more serious approach to battling after its loss to [[Hau]]'s {{p|Dartrix}} in ''[[SM097|No Stone Unturned!]]'', even visiting its old foster family for some training. Since the battle, Rowlet has developed a rivalry with {{p|Decidueye}}. While the rivalry is normally friendly, they are extremely competitive, as seen in ''[[SM131|The Battlefield of Truth and Love!]]'', when Rowlet and Decidueye interacted aggressively and passionately with each other upon learning that they would be battling each other in the [[Manalo Conference]]. Unlike other Pokémon in the anime who have prevented themselves from evolving, like Ash's Pikachu or [[Dawn's Piplup]], Rowlet doesn't seem uninterested in [[evolution]] or show a desire to become stronger just as it is, but decided it liked the [[Everstone]] it picked up after it allowed it to perform {{m|Seed Bomb}}.

Starting in ''[[SM111|Show Me the Metal!]]'', Rowlet formed a close friendship with a Meltan. When Meltan's nut head fell off of its body, Rowlet flew to catch it, saving it from a {{p|Murkrow}}. This was seen again in the [[SM112|next episode]], where it tried to substitute its lost nut head for many objects. Rowlet's protectiveness of Meltan saw it take {{MTR}}'s {{m|Fury Swipes}} in the place of the Hex Nut Pokémon, causing Rowlet's back to become badly damaged. However, Rowlet often has to prevent Meltan from causing damage, such as in ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess!]]'', where it prevented the Hex Nut Pokémon from eating a frying pan. Rowlet was asleep during Meltan's evolution into {{AP|Melmetal}} in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', but it instantly recognized its friend upon waking up, congratulating it and finding a nice place to rest inside the hole in its stomach, called '''Mel-Row-Tan''' (Japanese: '''メタルモロー''' ''Metalmoroh'') by Ash.
