In [[XY127]], Hawlucha was used in the semi-finals of the Conference as Ash's first Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against Sawyer, where he entered the battlefield wearing a special wrestling suit made by {{an|Serena}}. He faced off against Sawyer's {{p|Slaking}}. Despite the type-advantage and Slaking's Ability {{a|Truant}}, Hawlucha wasn't able to deal serious damage to Slaking as it was able to take his attacks with ease and restore its health using {{m|Slack Off}}. As Hawlucha went for a Flying Press, Slaking finally retaliated with {{m|Counter}}, knocking Hawlucha out with a single hit.

Ash chose Hawlucha as his third Pokémon in the finals of the Conference against [[Alain]]'s {{p|Weavile}}, in [[XY130]]. He first exited his [[Poké Ball]] to console Noivern with his defeat, and then vowed to defeat Weavile for him. Hawlucha first attempted to hit Weavile with Karate Chop, but Weavile used its great speed to dodge all of his attempts while leading him into the water stream. Weavile then attempted to freeze Hawlucha's legs, but Hawlucha dodged the incoming Ice Beam which froze the water. Afterwards, Hawlucha took every single one of Weavile's attacks head-on, enduring them and becoming stronger from them. As Weavile went for another {{m|Night Slash}}, Hawlucha disrupted it mid-attack by throwing it to the ground, and then finished Weavile off with Flying Press. Next, he faced Alain's {{p|Bisharp}}. Despite the type-advantage, Bisharp proved to be a tough opponent. It immediately used {{m|Thunder Wave}} which {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} Hawlucha. After a collision between X-Scissor and {{m|Guillotine}}, Hawlucha attacked with High Jump Kick. Bisharp, however, dodged the attack, causing Hawlucha to crash into the ground and suffer recoil damage. While being immobilized by his paralysis, Hawlucha was then hit by a Guillotine, a [[One-hit knockout move]], and was knocked out.

Hawlucha was taken captive by [[Lysandre]], alongside Ash and his other Pokémon in [[XY132]]. He could only watch in horror while Ash and Greninja were hit by [[Team Flare]]'s Mega Evolution energy weapon, until Ash and Greninja freed themselves using [[Bond Phenomenon]], in [[XY133|the following episode]]. [[Alain's Charizard]] broke Hawlucha and the other Pokémon free with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, leaving everyone to battle [[Lysandre's Pyroar]] and his Shiny Mega {{p|Gyarados}} together. During the battle, Hawlucha landed a devastating Karate Chop on Pyroar before Pikachu knocked the Royal Pokémon out with Thunderbolt. After Noivern had been defeated by Gyarados in [[XY134]], he jumped in to avenge his friend and struck the Atrocious Pokémon with a super effective High Jump Kick. Gyarados, however, recovered and bit Hawlucha before throwing him to the ground, defeating him.

Hawlucha also seems to have good parental instincts, as shown with Noibat. He actively helped the young Sound Wave Pokémon with flying practice, and trusted him enough to execute a plan to escape from Team Rocket. His closeness to Noibat was also displayed in ''[[XY104|A Windswept Encounter!]]'', when he rushed to go help Noibat before anyone else upon hearing it scream, and trusted his abilities enough not to interfere with Noibat's battle with a wild {{p|Breloom}}. Their close friendship was also shown in ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]'' when Hawlucha saved him from falling rocks and when Noibat saved Hawlucha, evolving in the process. During [[XY130]], he popped out of his Poké Ball to make sure Noivern was alright after he got defeated by Weavile.

| colspan="3" style="text-align:left" |'''Description:''' '''Trick Room Breaker'''  Hawlucha jumps off a wall and uses X-Scissor to hit the opponent while spinning at the same time. This was used to break through {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} in order to destroy {{m|Trick Room}} during Ash's battle against [[Valerie]].

* Hawlucha is the first, and so far only one, of Ash's Pokémon that {{pkmn|battle}}d against him to a draw before allowing himself to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]].
