Stunfisk was first seen inhabiting a lake with its friend {{AP|Palpitoad}} and a group of {{p|Tympole}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad asked for Stunfisk's help to get rid of {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} as it viewed them as intruders. Stunfisk managed to get them out of the lake and planned to guard against them, but {{an|Cilan}} used his [[fishing]] skills with his special lure to catch and pull Stunfisk to shore. Palpitoad then appeared before the group and had Stunfisk fire {{m|Mud Bomb}} at the [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] but he managed to evade it. Cilan then lifted his fishing rod in the air and started to spin Stunfisk around, keeping it at bay until Ash was able to defeat Palpitoad. Once he did, Cilan dropped the Trap Pokémon to the ground which, with the combination of dizziness, knocked it out and Cilan captured it.

In ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'', it battled against [[Luke]]'s {{p|Larvesta}} in the quarter finals of the [[Club Battle]] tournament, in which Stunfisk showed the remarkable ability to leap into the air and glide, flapping its fins as wings. Even though Stunfisk's {{m|Scald}} was super effective against Larvesta, Larvesta minimized the damage by covering itself in its own {{m|String Shot}}, acting as a shield. Larvesta then roasted Stunfisk with a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}}, knocking it out.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' Stunfisk was called out to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, blocking a {{m|Thunder}} attack aimed at {{TP|Iris|Axew}} with its Mud Bomb, it then teamed up with {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle. Stunfisk used its amazing jumping ability to get itself and Pikachu into the air so that they could launch a {{m|ThunderShock}}—{{m|Thunderbolt}} combination at the two [[legendary Pokémon]]. However, Pikachu was knocked off Stunfisk's back and it was then struck by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}} attack, knocking it out.

In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'', Cilan called upon Stunfisk to participate in [[Skyla]]'s 'Air battle' simulation, during which she predicted that Stunfisk would be defeated by her {{p|Swoobat}}. However, by the time Stunfisk was sent out to battle her, Swoobat had already been defeated by {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}.
[[File:Cilan and Stunfisk.png|thumb|280px|Cilan and Stunfisk]]
Stunfisk was sent out to fight Skyla's {{p|Swanna}} after Crustle was defeated. Despite ThunderShock being extremely effective against Swanna, it was still able to throw Stunfisk off momentum and into the air with {{m|Hurricane}}.

Despite Thunder Shock being extremely effective against Swanna, it was still able to throw Stunfisk off momentum and into the air with {{m|Hurricane}}. Cilan had Stunfisk take advantage of its situation and use Scald while spinning, showering Swanna in hot water, which {{status|burn}}t it. Stunfisk was then defeated after Swanna used {{m|Aqua Ring}} to heal the burn and hit it with {{m|Brave Bird}}.

In ''[[BW081|Crisis at Ferroseed Research!]]'', Stunfisk helped a group of {{p|Ferroseed}}, who had become overcharged with electricity, by soaking up the excess electrical energy then releasing it outside.

In [[BW091]], Stunfisk battled [[Akihiro]]'s {{p|Cinccino}} during the second round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Stunfisk won the battle with its newly learned {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack, allowing Cilan to advance to the semi-final round.
In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Stunfisk battled [[Horatio]]'s {{p|Cinccino}} during the second round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Stunfisk won the battle with its newly learned {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack, allowing Cilan to advance to the semi-final round.
 
===Decolore Islands===
Stunfisk was called out in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]'' by Cilan to find out how its Thunder Shock attack would taste to a trio of {{p|Rotom}}. Much to Stunfisk's embarrassment, the Plasma Pokémon disliked the electricity it produced. When {{TRT}} began their plan to capture the Rotom by feeding them electricity, Stunfisk volunteered to help by feeding them its own, but was shot down by Cilan. However, Stunfisk managed to rescue the Rotom alongside {{AP|Krookodile}} and {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} by shielding them from the electricity, absorbing it as a {{type|Ground}}.
 
===Johto===
Stunfisk appeared in [[SS027]] to help out a beginning Trainer named [[Ayumi]] and her partner {{p|Pikachu}} perfect Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. After a few attempts, they finally landed a hit on Stunfisk, who giddily enjoyed absorbing the electricity. Stunfisk was later seen playing with Pikachu while Cilan, {{an|Brock}}, and Ayumi ate lunch.

In its debut, Stunfisk was quite aggressive, like the other Pokémon living in the lake. However strong Stunfisk was, it still obeyed {{AP|Palpitoad}}, proving it doesn't function well in a group without being a 'follower'. After Cilan caught Stunfisk, its personality did not change; as shown in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'' where after being brought out by {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}'s {{m|Volt Switch}} it attacked a newly revived curious {{p|Archen}} with a {{m|ThunderShock}} attack when Archen bit it and subsequently laughed. However, it seems to have completely accepted Cilan as its Trainer, and new leader figure. In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', Stunfisk did not show any aggression towards the other Pokémon, even smiling as it watched {{AP|Oshawott}} flirt with Emolga, showing that it is satisfied with its group.
