Emboar made his debut as a Pignite in ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'' when Bianca attempted to use him to capture a wild {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} that had stolen the dirty Badge case that she had given to {{Ash}}. He fought with an impressive {{m|Flame Charge}} attack but Minccino managed to escape it. Though he had overwhelming power, he was taken down by Minccino with a combination of {{m|Hyper Voice}} and {{m|Tickle}}.

Bianca later used Pignite to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. He managed to catch Pikachu off guard by rushing it with {{m|Take Down}} followed by a powerful {{m|Heat Crash}} attack. Despite him having the upper hand at first, the Fire Pig Pokémon was taken down by a single {{m|Volt Tackle}} from Pikachu.

In ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'' it was revealed that Pignite had evolved into an Emboar sometime before the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament. He began a battle against [[Trip's Conkeldurr]] in the first round. Demonstrating his new capabilities, {{m|Arm Thrust}} and {{m|Hammer Arm}}, Emboar fought hard, but was unable to break through Conkeldurr's defenses. He was soon smashed into the ground, after Conkeldurr attacked him with a {{m|Bulk Up}} powered {{m|Strength}}, and then trapped by {{m|Rock Tomb}}. Emboar attempted to use Arm Thrust to destroy the rocks surrounding him but grew tired, just as his opponent launched a {{m|Stone Edge}} attack. In the [[BW072|next episode]] Emboar was shown to have caught Conkeldurr's Stone Edge then used {{m|Fling}} to send them back at it. While Conkeldurr was blocking the stones with its concrete pillars, Emboar got closer, snatched the pillars, and used Fling to hurl them at Conkeldurr, defeating the Muscular Pokémon and allowing Bianca to proceed to the next round of the tournament. Later in the second round, Emboar faced [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Bisharp}}. He started the battle with Flamethrower before Georgia could finish her lecture. Flamethrower did a lot of damage to the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. He collided with Bisharp's {{m|Guillotine}} attack with Hammer Arm and after enduring a {{m|Metal Sound}}-{{m|Iron Head}} combo, Emboar won the match with a second Flamethrower. In [[BW073|the next episode]], Emboar faced off against [[Stephan's Sawk]]. After Emboar missed with a Hammer Arm attack, he was hit hard by a {{m|Bulk Up}} powered {{m|Karate Chop}}. Emboar's attacks continued to prove too slow for Sawk's speedy movements and he was defeated by a Bulk Up powered {{m|Close Combat}} attack and a double Karate Chop, eliminating him and Bianca from the tournament.

Emboar was sent out to battle against {{un|Michael}}'s {{p|Watchog}} in the first round of the [[Higaki Conference]] in [[BW103]].

Emboar is, undoubtedly, the powerhouse of Bianca's team. He alone was able to earn Bianca her first two Badges. As a Pignite, his personality was a lot like his Trainer's, as he can become pouty and throw a tantrum when his attacks fail to work as shown in ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]].'' However, ever since he evolved into Emboar, he has shown to grow out of this behavior. He is now proud of his power, obedient to his trainer, and able to take hits and defeats calmly, almost in the same way as Bianca has developed in her journey. He also has been shown to be clumsy like Bianca, seen in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'' when Bianca tripped on the battlefield and Emboar tried to catch her from falling, but to no avail.
