In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Dawn used | In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Dawn used Ambipom in the Battle Stage of the {{to|Celestic}} Contest. Ambipom was shown defeating a {{p|Delibird}} and a {{p|Nosepass}} to advance to the finals, where she went up against [[Lila]]'s {{p|Delcatty}}. The battle started with Ambipom using Swift, which seemed to hit Delcatty. However, it was actually a decoy created through the use of {{m|Substitute}} while the real Delcatty sneaked behind Ambipom and wrapped himself up in her tails before using {{m|Shock Wave}}, landing a clean hit and costing Dawn some points. After that, Ambipom used Double Team and then Focus Punch, hitting Delcatty but unknowingly activating his {{a|Cute Charm}} [[Ability]]. This left Ambipom {{status|infatuation|infatuated}} and allowed Delcatty to use {{m|Sing}} to put Ambipom to {{status|sleep}}. Delcatty proceeded to hit Ambipom with {{m|Iron Tail}}, sending Ambipom flying in the air and posing in an elegant manner while she was falling. The {{pkmn|category|Prim Pokémon}} then used Shock Wave and the attack woke Ambipom up. Ambipom used Swift but Delcatty once again avoided the attack with Substitute. This time, however, Ambipom surprised Delcatty and attacked him with Double Hit, becoming infatuated in the process. | ||
Despite the infatuation, Ambipom was able to use Double Team. Delcatty then used Sing but Ambipom used Double Hit to defend herself from Sing and attack Delcatty at the same time—something which inspired Ash to come up with the [[Counter Shield]]. When the infatuation wore off, Ambipom used Swift while spinning around to make the golden stars swirl. Delcatty tried to avoid the attack with Substitute but failed and then used Shock Wave. When the {{type|Electric}} [[move]] came into contact with the Swift stars, it formed a flat, rotating disk containing stars and dust at the center of the stage. Ambipom kept on using Swift on one side of the stage while Delcatty used Shock Wave on the other. A few seconds before time ran out, Swift broke through the disc and a massive amount of stars hit Delcatty. When the smoke cleared, Dawn was shown to have more points on the scoreboard, winning the battle and earning the Celestic Ribbon, her third Contest Ribbon overall. | |||
In | In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', Ambipom was used in the [[Sandalstraw Town]] Pokémon Contest. In the Performance Stage, Dawn sent her out of her [[Poké Ball]] with a [[Seal|Song Seal]] and asked her to use Double Team followed by Focus Punch. Ambipom created multiple copies of herself and then punched all the {{wp|musical note}}s with her long tails, taking advantage of the Seal's effect to begin her performance. Ambipom proceeded to use Swift as if she was serving a ping pong ball. She then spun around rapidly, causing the golden stars to move in a spiraling pattern before destroying them with Double Hit, which resulted in sparkles pouring down on both Ambipom and Dawn as they posed together to mark the end of the performance. The presentation was well-received by the judges and allowed Dawn to move on to the second round. | ||
Seeing that, Kenny asked Prinplup to repel the bubbles with Metal Claw. The bubbles went back and forth for a while until Prinplup used Bubble Beam again. This time, instead of repelling the bubbles, Ambipom used Double Hit to destroy them. The bubbles were keeping Ambipom busy and Prinplup took the opportunity to try to attack her with Drill Peck, but Ambipom saw Prinplup coming and countered with Focus Punch. The two clashed in midair but Prinplup quickly recovered, jumping high and then using Drill Peck while nosediving and spinning. Ambipom proceeded to use Double Hit, but the move was unable to stop Prinplup. Ambipom was taken aback by this and Prinplup attacked her with another Drill Peck, knocking her out. As a result, she lost the battle. | [[File:Dawn and Ambipom.png|thumb|220px|Dawn and Ambipom]] | ||
In the Battle Stage, Ambipom squared off against Jessilina's {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} in the semifinals and managed to win the battle. She proceeded to the finals, where she found herself up against [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. The battle started with Prinplup using {{m|Drill Peck}}, which Ambipom blocked with Swift before using Double Team. After that, Prinplup used {{m|Bubble Beam}} to destroy the illusory copies Ambipom had created. However, before the attack could hit the real Ambipom, Dawn had the idea to implement ping pong moves into the battle and asked Ambipom to use Focus Punch, sending the bubbles back to Prinplup. Seeing that, Kenny asked Prinplup to repel the bubbles with {{m|Metal Claw}}. The bubbles went back and forth for a while until Prinplup used Bubble Beam again. This time, instead of repelling the bubbles, Ambipom used Double Hit to destroy them.

After deciding to pursue ping pong over her love of Pokémon Contests, Ambipom bid farewell to Dawn and Ash and left the group in order to follow her new ambition. | ||
