Acerola debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]''. She is close friends with [[Ula'ula Island]] residents [[Piko]] and {{OBP|Nene|Alola}}, who refer to her as "Big Sis". She read them a story regarding a mischievous spirit known as the Greedy Rapooh and later went for a walk with them. During the walk, they came across {{TRT}}, who had accidentally released Greedy Rapooh, which was actually a {{p|Gengar}}, from the shrine that it had been sealed in.

Acerola found herself kidnapped by Greedy Rapooh, who then began to steal various items despite her requests for it to stop. Her {{Shiny}} {{p|Mimikyu}}, [[nickname]]d Mimikins, eventually rescued her from Greedy Rapooh, which resulted in them falling to the ground. Greedy Rapooh then started begging Acerola to take it with her, offering her all the items in its possession, but she refused, believing her work at the library to be more important and valuable. Throwing a tantrum, Gengar tried to forcibly take Acerola with it, but she was saved by {{TRT}}, who had followed Gengar in an attempt to get back the [[Darkinium Z]] it had stolen from them. Having seen Team Rocket saving Acerola, [[Nanu]] chose to give them a [[Z-Power Ring]], allowing them to defeat Gengar. Later, a sympathetic Acerola told Gengar that it could come to visit her at the library from time to time, filling it with happiness. After Nanu had let Team Rocket keep the Z-Power Ring, Mimikins gave Jessie a [[Mimikium Z]] as a gift.

In ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', Acerola took Ash through [[Haina Desert]] to meet with Tapu Bulu at the [[Ruins of Abundance]]. There, she watched Ash train with Tapu Bulu to get stronger for his rematch with Nanu. In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Acerola accompanied Ash to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} so that Ash could participate in his next trial. After arriving, Acerola refereed the battle between Ash and Pikachu against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]]. In ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', Acerola refereed the grand trial between Ash and Nanu. After Ash won, she bade him farewell as he headed back to [[Melemele Island]].

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Acerola joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

Team Rocket later saved Acerola with the help of [[Nanu]], their new [[Z-Power Ring]], and {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}. Gengar initially felt rejected by Acerola, but after being told that it can visit her in the library she works in at any time, it happily accepted the offer.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Gengar joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}.

Greedy Rapooh's known moves are {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Shadow Punch}}, and {{m|Thief}}, and its [[Ability]] is {{a|Cursed Body}}.}}

In ''[[PASM16|A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart]]'', Acerola introduced herself to Sun and Lillie and took them to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site|abandoned Thrifty Megamart}}. She gave Sun a [[Island challenge|trial]] and tasked him with photographing the [[Totem Pokémon]] that lived inside the building. While  Sun did the trial, Acerola left to go meet with Mallow's group. Later, she received a photo of the Totem {{p|Mimikyu}} from Sun, who had successfully completed the trial.

In [[PASM26]], the Trial Captains and [[Island Kahuna]]s were revealed to have spent six months on [[Exeggutor Island]] training to prepare for another clash with the Ultra Beasts. After their training was finished, Acerola and the other Captains went to [[Hokulani Observatory]] under Molayne's orders. Once they gathered together, Acerola and the others traveled to [[Mount Lanakila]], where a wormhole had opened up earlier. Shortly after they arrived, their ship was attacked by a group of {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s and their Ultra Beasts. During the battle, Acerola was assisted by {{p|Tapu Lele}}, who transported her to [[Akala Island]] in order to battle with some {{p|Kartana}}.
