Treecko battled a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'' to rescue a [[Nurse Joy]]. Ash revealed in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'' that the Shiftry had inspired him to try to teach Treecko how to use Bullet Seed. This became a reality when they met [[Natasha]] and her {{p|Grovyle}}, who helped Treecko learn the move using watermelon seeds. | Treecko battled a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'' to rescue a [[Nurse Joy]].

It went up against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}} despite a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|type disadvantage}}. After using its speed to dodge Slugma's {{m|Flamethrower}}, Treecko used Quick Attack but the damage was halved thanks to {{p|Magcargo}}'s {{m|Reflect}} earlier in the Gym Battle. After dodging another Flamethrower, Treecko used Pound which was also weakened by Reflect. Slugma then used {{m|Smog}}, hiding itself. Treecko used multiple Bullet Seed attacks but they all missed. Treecko was then hit by Slugma's {{m|Body Slam}}. It used Bullet Seed to escape but was [[Burn (status condition)|burned]] by Flamethrower while escaping. Ash then recalled Treecko. Ash later sent out Treecko to battle Flannery's final Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}, despite being still injured from the burn. Torkoal ended up defeating it with a powerful {{m|Overheat}}. | ||
In ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear!]]'', while the other Pokémon ate food, Treecko didn't eat and acted distant, hiding up a tree and ignoring attempts by Ash and Corphish to be friendly. This worried [[Max]] but Ash assumed that it was just in a bad mood. All of a sudden, a {{p|Loudred}} started rampaging through the area, which caught Treecko's interest. The Loudred's rampage was stopped by its Trainer {{OBP|Guy|AG066}}. Guy mentioned his Loudred had been acting weird lately, which Ash compared to his Treecko. Ash decided to battle Guy and his Loudred as he thought exercise could solve its problems and Treecko volunteered itself to battle. After battling hard both Pokémon [[Evolution|evolved]] at the same time, Loudred into {{p|Exploud}} and Treecko into Grovyle. Grovyle demonstrated its new Leaf Blade attack, putting a twig in its mouth. Ash and Guy decided to continue the battle, but Exploud [[Obedience|ignored]] its trainer's commands, rampaging off. The two then followed Exploud. While looking for Exploud, Grovyle refused to return to its [[Poké Ball]] and went to higher ground, which caused {{an|May}} to comment that Grovyle was more stubborn after evolving. After {{TRT}} angered Exploud, Grovyle heard Exploud and followed it to a waterfall, battling it again. Ash and the others eventually caught up with Grovyle and Exploud with Ash and Guy deciding to pick up the battle, with Exploud ignoring Guy's commands again. Team Rocket then tried to capture Exploud again but Guy was able to protect it, earning its respect. With Exploud obeying Guy again, Ash decided to finish the battle using Grovyle again. The outcome of the battle was unknown. | |||
