Decidueye debuted as a Dartrix in No Stone Unturned!, where it was first seen training with Hau. It fired a Razor Leaf, which ended up hitting Ash, Rotom, and Pikachu. Hau later used Dartrix in his battle against Ash, where it went up against his Rowlet. With Rowlet having a tendency to fall asleep, Dartrix had an advantage and was able to knock Rowlet out when Ash struggled to find his Grassium Z.
The next day, Dartrix had a rematch against Rowlet, and this time, it was defeated when Rowlet used Bloom Doom.
In SM128, Dartrix was revealed to have evolved into Decidueye when Hau met Ash and his classmates at the Manalo Conference. Hau later used Decidueye during the battle against Team Skull, where it went up against Rapp and her Zubat and won.
In SM132, Decidueye went up against Ash and Rowlet in the second round of the Manalo Conference. Rowlet attempted to attack with Bloom Doom, but Decidueye was able to dodge it before firing Spirit Shackle at Rowlet, which prevented it from escaping. Hau and Decidueye then performed Sinister Arrow Raid, but Rowlet narrowly escaped the attack. The match continued in the next episode, where, after a collision between Sky Attack and Brave Bird, Rowlet looked like it was unable to battle, only for Hala to realize it was actually sleeping. The match recommenced, with Decidueye hitting Rowlet with another Spirit Shackle before launching another Sky Attack. However, Rowlet was able to dodge it with Feather Dance before knocking Decidueye out.
