Ash and Mallow soon found Rowlet's nest, but their reunion was cut short by {{TRT}}, who arrived to take back the {{Berries}} the flock had taken from {{an|Bewear}}. After trapping the flock in nets, Team Rocket set their sights on {{AP|Pikachu}}. While Pikachu battled [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], Rowlet freed its friends and then used {{m|Leafage}} to save Pikachu from Mimikyu's attack. Before the battle could go on any longer, Bewear returned and carried Team Rocket back to its den. Ash thanked Rowlet for saving the day before saying goodbye, not wanting to separate it from its family in its nest. Seeing how it wanted to join Ash, Toucannon gave Rowlet its permission to leave the nest. Rowlet happily dove into Ash's [[bag|backpack]] and waved goodbye to its family. Delighted, Ash threw a {{ball|Poké}} at Rowlet and caught it.

Rowlet participated in its first official {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', in which it battled [[Hobbes]] and his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Oricorio|Pom-Pom Style}} {{p|Oricorio}}. Hobbes showed his great battling skills by having Oricorio gracefully dodge Rowlet's Leafage and shock it afterwards using {{m|Revelation Dance}}. Furthermore, Oricorio was able to counter Rowlet's Tackle with {{m|Mirror Move}}. Rowlet, however, was able to overpower Oricorio and knock it back using its sheer leg strength. Eventually, Oricorio used {{m|Teeter Dance}} which {{status|confusion|confused}} Rowlet, allowing the Dancing Pokémon to knock it out with {{m|Double Slap}}.

In ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', Rowlet was used in Ash's first [[island challenge]] trial in [[Verdant Cavern]]. Alongside Pikachu, it first fought a {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}. The two {{type|Normal}}s showed to be tough opponents, as they were able to use {{m|Sand Attack}} to obstruct Rowlet and Pikachu's sight and movements before hitting them with their attacks. Ash then came up a similar tactic using its Leafage, allowing it to knock Yungoos out with {{m|Tackle}}, while Pikachu defeated Gumshoos. Afterwards, Rowlet and Pikachu had to face a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos. Rowlet attempted to assist Pikachu in battle, but was defeated by a single hit from Gumshoos's {{m|Fling}}.

In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Rowlet was asleep on the beach while Ash, {{an|Lana}}, Mallow, Pikachu, and {{AP|Rockruff}} watched [[Lana's Popplio]] practice making balloons. However, as Popplio was making a balloon, Mallow's Bounsweet sneezed, and blasted out its sweet scent by accident. The scent promptly awoke Rowlet and it flew towards Bounsweet, who instinctively deflected it. Rowlet was sent flying at a high speed into Popplio, and the two eventually floated away in Popplio's balloon. While the others looked for the duo, Rowlet accidentally popped the balloon, causing the duo to fall straight onto a radar that Team Rocket was constructing, with Rowlet getting caught in a ring that was part of the machinery. With this ring, Rowlet was unable to fly. Popplio distracted Team Rocket by using {{m|Bubble Beam}}, then bounced Rowlet on its nose so the two could escape. The two were then confronted by {{MTR}} and [[James's Mareanie]], but were saved by a {{AP|Litten}}. Litten took the duo to its home, where {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}} advised it to take the two back to their Trainers. During their long search, the trio got caught by Team Rocket. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. Afterwards, Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, with Ash removing Rowlet's ring.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Rowlet was sent out to assist Litten in battling a Totem {{p|Lurantis}} and its ally {{p|Castform}} in the [[Lush Jungle]] trial. When Litten was tired and about to be hit by a super effective {{m|Water Gun}} from Castform, Rowlet jumped in and took the attack, easily shaking it off. It then knocked out the Castform with a single Tackle, getting rid of the {{m|Sunny Day}} it had set up in the process. This allowed Litten to defeat Lurantis, meaning Ash cleared the trial and earning him a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Grassium Z}}.

In ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', Rowlet was used in the [[Akala Island]] grand trial alongside Rockruff, battling Olivia's {{p|Lycanroc}} and {{p|Probopass}}. Despite their opponents giving them tough times with their combination tactics, Rowlet eventually managed to defeat Probopass with {{m|Bloom Doom}}. Unfortunately for Ash, Rockruff impulsively attacked Rowlet in a fit of aggression, accidentally knocking it out and leaving the Puppy Pokémon to face Lycanroc alone.
