Ash has used Grovyle in almost every Gym battle since its evolution, including his battle against [[Norman]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', where it battled [[Norman's Slaking]] and activated its Ability {{a|Overgrow}}. In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Grovyle battled [[Winona]]'s {{p|Altaria}} and won, despite the type disadvantage, and was later used against Winona's {{p|Swellow}}, though he lost. In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' it once again battles an Altaria, this time belonging to the Hoenn [[Elite Four]]'s [[Drake]]—with its incredible jumping ability, Grovyle was able to attack Altaria while it was in the sky, but was unable to defeat it. It was sent out to fight [[Juan]]'s {{p|Luvdisc}} in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. It was confused by {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and thrashed about, causing itself serious damage and fainting in the [[AG111|next episode]].
In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power!]]'', Ash used Grovyle as his third and final Pokémon in his [[Petalburg Gym]] Battle against [[Norman]], it went up against Norman's final Pokémon, his {{TP|Norman|Slaking}}, both Pokémon stared off against each other initially with May mentioning that both Pokémon were big and scary, Grovyle used Bullet Seed which {{p|Slaking}} blocked with its hands, dealing it no damage. Norman mentioned that since Slaking was the Lazy Pokémon, weak attacks won't arouse interest. Grovyle launched a Leaf Blade attack, which Slaking caught and then it threw Grovyle. Slaking used {{m|Focus Punch}}, which Grovyle responded to with Bullet Seed, causing the Focus Punch to end as Slaking lost its focus. However this just made Slaking angry. Slaking launched a powerful {{m|Earthquake}}, which had the indirect effect of causing Team Rocket to be attacked by {{p|Dugtrio}}. Ash had Grovyle jump and use Pound but it got caught again by Slaking who sent Grovyle flying, causing it to hit the roof. Grovyle used Bullet Seed, but Slaking launched a {{m|Hyper Beam}} overwhelming Bullet Seed, dealing major damage. Grovyle got up but looked weak, Norman suggested Ash forfeit for Grovyle's safety but Grovyle convinced Ash to continue. Grovyle's {{a|Overgrow}} ability immediately activated, since it was weak the power of its {{type|Grass}} moves increased significantly. Norman commented that the real battle was beginning. Slaking used Earthquake but Grovyle jumped and then jumped off Slaking when it tried to catch Grovyle, then Slaking used Hyper Beam but Grovyle jumped off a wall to dodge. It then hit Slaking with a powerful {{m|Pound}}, but Slaking didn't look hurt at all. Slaking launched a full power Focus Punch, with Grovyle launching a full power Leaf Blade, although it struggled to remain up, only Grovyle remained standing, defeating Slaking and earning Ash the {{badge|Balance}}.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', it battled {{ho|Katie}}'s {{p|Walrein}} and won the match for Ash, and in Ash's next battle against [[Morrison]] in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', it beats Morrison's seemingly unstoppable {{p|Steelix}} only to be beaten by Morrison's speedy {{p|Gligar}}. In Ash's battle against {{ho|Tyson}} in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', it battled {{p|Metagross}}, and even after the damage {{AP|Swellow}} had caused, Grovyle was unable to beat Metagross.
