In the anime
Mira appeared in Sandshrew's Locker!. Wanting to use Dawn's Water Pokémon for her own purposes, she offered to Teleport everyone to Hearthome City using her Abra. However, she Teleported them to a flooded city and told them her grandmother's pendant was lost somewhere in the dam. Everyone went diving to recover the pendant, but they were repelled by a wild Gyarados.
Brock quickly realized that Mira was being deliberately deceptive, with everything planned from the very beginning. Mira apologized for the web of lies, admitting that no one would help her if she told the truth. After another confession, Mira explained that actually the Poké Ball containing a Sandshrew she and her friends used to play with was left at the school when the town was flooded because of the dam.
Ash had Pikachu defeat the wild Gyarados, and Mira was reunited with her Sandshrew. Filled with gratitude, she had her Abra Teleport everyone to Hearthome City.

Pokémon Adventures
Mira first makes an appearance in the Battleground battling with Cheryl. The battle was unseen and it is unknown who had won or lost.
Later, after Buck and Looker are sent to the hospital after escaping from Team Galactic on Stark Mountain, Mira is seen crying next to Buck's hospital bed.
Later, Mira and Cheryl manage to convince Palmer to let them join him, Platinum, and Riley on their trip to the Distortion World. After traveling far enough, they arrive at the Spring Path, but find that Marley has been captured by the Advanced level Grunt. However, the Grunt reveals that he does not want to fight and has escaped from Team Galactic. Platinum forces him to take them to where the Distortion World is and they enter it, but get separated upon arriving due to the dimension's strange gravity.
There, Mira finds Charon, the man that defeated Buck, and tries to stop him from escaping. She is stopped by Jupiter and the other Galactic Commanders, who challenges them to a battle. Mira faces Saturn and his Toxicroak, while Marley and Cheryl fight Jupiter and Mars, respectively. During the battle, Mira has her Alakazam constantly boost its defensive power in an attempt to make the battle longer and her opponent unable to damage it.
The battle is interrupted by Giratina after it flies past them to fight the other legendary Pokémon. Mira furiously exclaims she would have won the battle if it had never interrupted.
After Charon is defeated, Mira, along with Cheryl and Buck, goes to take Heatran back to its home on Stark Mountain.
