Rowlet debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''. A flashback showed that Rowlet had been born into a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, led by a {{p|Toucannon}} and {{p|Trumbeak}}. Later, it joined its flock to gather fruit from a town on [[Melemele Island]]. Rowlet mistook a wind chime for food, and brought its bounty to its nest, only to be scolded by Trumbeak that evening and being sent back to gather more.
Rowlet debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]''. A flashback revealed that Rowlet had been born into a flock of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Pikipek}}, led by a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Toucannon}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Trumbeak}}. Later, it joined its flock to gather fruit from a town on [[Melemele Island]]. Rowlet mistook a wind chime for food, and brought its bounty to its nest, only to be scolded by Trumbeak that evening and being sent back to gather more.


The next day, a tired Rowlet noticed a sweet smell being produced by [[Mallow's Bounsweet]]. Believing it to be fruit, Rowlet tried to take Bounsweet, only to be deflected each time it tried. Eventually, an exhausted Rowlet fell out of the sky, but was caught in time by {{Ash}}. It was then given a bunch of fruit to eat and after finishing its meal, it took a watermelon and returned to its nest, prompting Ash and {{an|Mallow}} to follow it.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Rowlet and Litten joined Lana, {{an|Sophocles}}, and Mallow in the fight against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}, {{p|Milotic}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which were being controlled by {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Rowlet used Tackle to free [[Ash's friends]] and their Pokémon from Lilligant's Teeter Dance, but Lilligant drew Rowlet towards it with its {{m|Sweet Scent}} move. In [[SM054|the next episode]], Mallow's Steenee emitted its own Sweet Scent to bring Rowlet back to her. Rowlet was then launched into the air by Steenee's Double Slap and afterwards kicked back towards the ground, allowing Rowlet to perform a high-speed Peck attack, dubbed "Rowlaunch" by Lana, on Lilligant. The attack angered Lilligant, causing it to charge up its {{m|Solar Beam}} attack, but Litten interrupted the move with {{m|Fire Fang}}. Although Lilligant appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In [[SM075]], Ash went to see {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Bulu}} so it could help train for a rematch with [[Nanu]]. After agreeing to help, Tapu Bulu used its powers to make several large trees grow instantly before resting on them to absorb their energy. When Rowlet decided to roost on the trees, it absorbed some of the trees' energy as well, causing it to learn {{m|Razor Leaf}}.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Rowlet joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.
 
In [[SM097]], Rowlet was used in Ash's battle against [[Hau]], where it went up against its evolved form {{p|Dartrix}}. Rowlet's tendency to fall asleep caused trouble for it, and it was eventually defeated when Ash ended up dropping his Grassium Z while trying to use it. That night, Rowlet became serious, attacking the {{m|Substitute}} {{pkmn|doll}} in {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house. The next day, Ash and Rowlet visited Rowlet's old foster family, who demonstrated how to use {{m|Bullet Seed}}, despite {{Rotom}} telling Ash that Rowlet can't learn the move. While searching for small rocks suitable for its Bullet Seed training, Rowlet found an [[Everstone]] and swallowed it, much to Ash's horror. Even though Rowlet was able to spit out the stone, it immediately swallowed it again, having taken a liking to it. Using the example of its foster parents, it subsequently learned to use {{m|Seed Bomb}} with the Everstone. The next day, Rowlet and Ash had a rematch against Hau, managing to pull off a win this time around with Bloom Doom.

Rowlet is somewhat naive and inexperienced. In its [[SM004|debut episode]], Rowlet brought a wind chime from a market on [[Melemele Island]] to its nest, thinking it was {{pkmn|food}}. When Ash asked it to find {{an|Lillie}} in ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it returned with a watermelon instead. Similarly, when Ash asked it to try and find Pikachu in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', it got distracted by the scent of {{TRT}}'s honey donuts. It is drawn to the aroma of Sweet Scent, such as when used by [[Mallow's Bounsweet]] in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' or by [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Lilligant}} in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''.

Rowlet also seems to be a very relaxed Pokémon, as shown in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', when it spent most of the episode not being bothered by what was going on around it, whether that included being splashed by water or being kidnapped by Team Rocket. Rowlet is often seen sleeping during the day, only waking up when it is needed by someone else, such as its Trainer. This character trait was shown in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'' and ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', when Ash called Rowlet out to battle against a Totem Pokémon and its ally, only to find it sleeping, in need of awakening. In its time as a wild Pokémon, it was even seen nodding off while being lectured by its caretaker, {{p|Trumbeak}}. However, in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', Rotom noted that Rowlet shouldn't be sleeping so much. Due to its naivety and inexperience, Rowlet tends to panic when it is separated from Ash; however, this shows its closeness to Ash. Despite this, it is loyal towards its friends, and would do anything to protect them.

However, in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', Rotom noted that Rowlet shouldn't be sleeping so much. Rowlet has been show to sleep through almost anything, such as during battles and whilst being buried under sand, as shown in [[SM109]]. Due to its naivety and inexperience, Rowlet tends to panic when it is separated from Ash; however, this shows its closeness to Ash. Despite this, it is loyal towards its friends, and would do anything to protect them.
 
Ash and Rowlet quickly bonded after meeting each other. Rowlet likes roosting and sleeping in his backpack. Like other members of its species, Rowlet is capable of flying silently, as first shown in ''To Top a Totem!''. In the same episode, it took a chance by fighting against the Yungoos without being commanded. Additionally, in ''Currying Favor and Flavor!'', it was shown instinctively protecting Litten from getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}. These situations have shown that it's an independent and quick thinking Pokémon. In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Ash noticed this and used its ability to get the upper hand over [[Hala]] and his {{p|Crabrawler}}. Rowlet is also seen as a fast flyer as shown in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'' when it was able to dodge a Z-Move with Rockruff in tow. Rowlet has been shown to be easily startled, as shown in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', where it was cowering in fear from the presence of a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}}, despite the fact that Stoutland was only licking it out of affection. It was also shown to be happy at the thought that Ash would be brought to tears of joy after it reunites with its Trainer and at the thought of {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} being scolded by its {{an|Lana|Trainer}}.


Ash and Rowlet quickly bonded after meeting each other. Rowlet likes roosting and sleeping in his backpack also it doesn't mind sharing its resting place with other Pokémon, shown with [[Nebby]] and [[Ash's Poipole]], much like how [[Clemont's Dedenne]] likes resting in Bonnie's bag as he also doesn't mind sharing the bag with another Pokémon so they can have a place to rest, shown when he had to share it with [[Squishy]].

Rowlet started to take a more serious approach to battling after its loss to [[Hau]]'s {{p|Dartrix}} in [[SM097]]. This can be seen when it kept attacking the Substitute Doll, and when it even visited its old foster family for some training. Unlike other Pokémon in the anime who have prevented themselves from evolving, like Ash's Pikachu or [[Dawn's Piplup]], Rowlet doesn't seem disinterested or afraid of [[evolution]], but decided it liked the [[Everstone]] it picked up after it allowed it to perform {{m|Seed Bomb}}.
