=====[[Original series]]=====

======Kanto======

Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, Pewter City's Nurse Joy called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a Nurse Joy with dreams of entering the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] took the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]]. She explained to Ash and his friends that she opted for taking the test because her work keeps her from traveling and gathering the required [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. She was one of the top-scoring applicants in the theoretical portions of the exam, but was later told by [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] that she would have to take the test again after a disturbance caused by Team Rocket.

Several Nurse Joys from all across [[Kanto]] were present at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to help heal all of the Pokémon League competitors' Pokémon. In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', a Nurse Joy reminded Ash that losing against a friend like [[Ritchie]] meant he could support him.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', upon returning to [[Viridian City]], it was revealed that the local Nurse Joy had since repaired Misty's bicycle after it was [[EP001|stolen and destroyed]] by Ash. Misty was thrilled to have her bike finally returned to her, though she was also saddened because this meant she was officially splitting up with Ash and Brock because of her acquired responsibilities at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

======Hoenn======

In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced to [[Oldale Town]]'s Nurse Joy and learned about the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy allowed [[Professor Alden]] to use one the Center's rooms as an office for his ongoing research. Nurse Joy, May, and Ash were later locked in a storage room by [[Team Magma]] but escaped through the vents.

In ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Scott introduced Ash and his friends to [[Fennel Valley]]'s Nurse Joy, who was a big fan of battles and Pokémon Contests. Nurse Joy, a former Pokémon Trainer, offered Ash a practice battle to prepare him against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, which he accepts. Her Chansey battled {{AP|Corphish}} and won with a close-range {{m|Solar Beam}}. This Nurse Joy appeared from ''Overjoyed!'' to ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the surname of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', three Nurse Joys judged the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]: the Nurse Joy from [[Jubilife City]] judged the Red Stage along with [[Top Coordinator]] [[Fantina]], the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]] judged the Green Stage along with [[Mr. Sukizo]], and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]] judged the Blue Stage along with [[Raoul Contesta]]. After the Performance Stage was over, the only Nurse Joy who judged the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] was the one from Lilycove City.

======Unova======

In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Nurse Joy's redesign debuted. {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}, the standard partner of the Nurse Joys of [[Unova]], debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]]'', Nurse Joy participated in [[Alexa]]'s recording. She explained how the latest equipment functioned at twice the normal speed and allowed her to repair any equipment or medicine she might need for a Pokémon's treatment. She was then seen carrying Ash and {{ashfr}}' Poké Balls for a thorough inspection of their Pokémon.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Nurse Joy starred in a [[Pokévision]] video with her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} where they made it to the top 10.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', Nurse Joy searched for a Mega Stone for her Audino. While doing so, her leg became stuck in a fissure. She was unable to get out until Ash and his friends found her stuck there. Using {{an|Clemont}}'s [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], the group was able to get Nurse Joy out of the fissure. As a reward, she took the group to the Pokémon Center she worked in. Inside, an Audino she was working with did not get along with her as she left without telling it where she was going. When a Trainer was rushing in with an injured {{p|Makuhita}}, both Nurse Joy and Audino put aside their differences and treated the Makuhita right away, only to go back to fighting again. Nurse Joy revealed that their fighting occurred ever since the [[Head Nurse]] put Audino with her. Outside, Team Rocket broke in the Pokémon Center and stole all the Poké Balls. Nurse Joy took on Team Rocket with Audino by Mega Evolving it. After using Mega Audino's {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Ash was able to defeat Team Rocket with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As a result, Nurse Joy and Audino both got along with each other.

[[Melemele Island]]'s Nurse Joy, who runs the {{rt|1|Alola}} [[Pokémon Center]], debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', in which she met {{Ash}} for the first time and treated his {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Nurse Joy from [[Akala Island]] first appeared in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she was seen working in her Pokémon Center in [[Paniola Town]].

All four Nurse Joy sisters appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', where they were on standby during the [[Manalo Conference]].

In [[JN006]], {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] visited Nurse Joy after {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} was {{status|poison}}ed by a wild {{p|Venonat}}'s {{m|Poison Powder}}. She briefly took Scorbunny into her care and healed it.
