In the anime
Pod appeared in BW005 alongside fellow Gym Leaders Dent and Corn. Along with Corn, he made his first appearance when serving Ash. Ash declined, and said he wanted to battle the Gym Leader, and the three brothers introduced themselves. They followed Ash to the battleground where they revealed their Pokémon. Pod was the first to battle Ash, and lost.
He appeared again in BW006, where he said goodbye to Dent, who decided to travel with Ash and Iris.
Dent mentioned in BW010 that Shooti had battled Pod and defeated his Baoppu with his Janovy, earning himself the Tri Badge.
He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in Pod's case, fire. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Pod tends to accentuate words with his fists.

| Pod's Baoppu | ||
| Baoppu is Pod's only known Pokémon. It first appeared when Pod showed what Pokémon he has and Ash scans it on his Pokédex. It is the first Pokémon Ash battled in his gym battle. Tepig's attacks didn't do much damage to Baoppu, but Baoppu hit Tepig hard with Fire Punch, Flamethrower and Dig. One of Baoppu's Dig attacks knocked Tepig into the air. But Ash commanded it to use Tackle into the hole that Baoppu was in and it managed to bite down on Baoppu's tail. Tepig then spun Baoppu around and threw it on the ground, used Ember successfully, and then knocked it out with powerful Tackle.
It was revealed in BW010 that Baoppu faced Shooti's Janovy in battle and lost. Baoppu's known moves are Flamethrower, Fire Punch and Dig. | ||
