Amphy is at the top of Olivine's Glitter Lighthouse. However, it is sick when the player first arrives in Olivine City in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} {{pkmn|games}}. After climbing the Lighthouse, Jasmine asks the player to travel across the sea to [[Cianwood City]], to get the [[SecretPotion]] that will cure Amphy. After Amphy is cured, Jasmine may be battled in the [[Olivine Gym]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Trainers' [[walking Pokémon]] often react to Amphy's condition. While all Pokémon may greet Amphy or want to play with Amphy, any other Ampharos brought to the Lighthouse will "sparkle in concert" with it. Male Ampharos may occasionally act interested in Amphy.

==In the anime==

In the anime dub, Amphy was called '''Sparkle'''. It became sick shortly before {{Ash}} challenged Jasmine for the {{badge|Mineral}} in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]''. He, his friends and [[Janina]] traveled to [[Cianwood City]] to buy the medicine for Amphy—like in the games, Jasmine would not take challengers until Amphy was healed. While Janina went back to Olivine City, Ash and his friends traveled through the [[Whirl Islands]].

On the way back to Olivine in ''[[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]]'', the plane flown by [[Wings Alexander]] that was carrying Ash and the others in was blown off course. Thanks to Amphy's flashes of light, Wings was able to get back on course and safely land his plane.

Amphy made a brief cameo in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' during {{an|Lyra}}'s introduction to Johto.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Amphy appears in ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', where it is owned by Jasmine. It helped Jasmine by sending a distress signal when Jasmine was trapped in the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] during an {{m|Earthquake}} caused by [[Team Rocket]]. {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} saw this signal and tried to save the two, but only succeeded in getting Jasmine out of the ground floor on Amphy's back before becoming trapped themselves. Jasmine later awakens, accompanied by some doctors at a refuge camp. Jasmine still recalled the two boys who risked their lives to rescue her, but was almost led to believe it had been her imagination.

Later, in the Gym Leaders' tournament at the [[Pokémon League]], Amphy fights [[Brock]]'s {{p|Kabutops}}, but is easily beat around by the swift Pokémon, and almost faints.

It is also notable that in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of the manga, Amphy is called "Akari."
