James's Amoonguss first appeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', debuting along with [[Jessie's Frillish]] when {{TRT}} attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for the first time since their "Operation Tempest" and temporary retreat back to [[Kanto]].


When Ash and friends were helping the rookie Trainer [[Nonomi]] to gain some experience, Team Rocket surprised them, sent out their new Pokémon, and used a combination of {{m|Mist}} and {{m|Stun Spore}} on them and their Pokémon, reducing the visibility to almost nothing and paralyzing {{an|Iris}}'s {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} at the same time, thus leaving Ash alone to face Team Rocket with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Using the Mist as his advantage, James had Amoonguss use {{m|Body Slam}}, which was strong enough to actually knock Pikachu out. As Ash sent out his {{AP|Unfezant}} to blow the Mist away, Team Rocket was close to stealing Pikachu inside of their {{TP|Team Rocket|mecha|mechas}}. However, thanks to the distraction of Nonomi and her {{p|Tepig}}, Pikachu was freed, although Tepig got caught in the process. For a getaway distraction, Team Rocket fired a combination attack of {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}, which, much to their surprise, was endured by Unfezant, followed by an {{m|Air Cutter}} and an {{m|Aerial Ace}} to defeat Frillish and Amoonguss, respectively.
When Ash and friends were helping the rookie Trainer [[Nanette]] to gain some experience, Team Rocket surprised them, sent out their new Pokémon, and used a combination of {{m|Mist}} and {{m|Stun Spore}} on them and their Pokémon, reducing the visibility to almost nothing and paralyzing [[Iris's Emolga]] and [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] at the same time, thus leaving Ash alone to face Team Rocket with {{AP|Pikachu}}. Using the Mist as his advantage, James had Amoonguss use {{m|Body Slam}}, which was strong enough to actually knock Pikachu out.

Amoonguss reappeared in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', where James sent it out after catching Pikachu. It distracted Ash from holding on to his {{AP|Snivy}} when she used {{m|Vine Whip}} to grab onto their balloon. It once again battled Unfezant after she freed Pikachu with Aerial Ace. Pikachu joined in the battle and tried to finish off Team Rocket with Thunderbolt but Amoonguss paralyzed him with Stun Spore before the attack can blast them off completely. Amoonguss was taken out along with Frillish by Unfezant's Air Cutter which slammed them into Team Rocket's balloon, sending them away in the process.
 
Amoonguss was used to battle [[Aldith]]'s {{p|Liepard}} in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', alongside {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} as [[Jessie]], James and {{MTR}} tried to steal [[Colress]]'s Pokémon manipulation machine. Eventually Liepard's {{m|Shadow Ball}} veered and hit Colress's machine, releasing [[Iris's Dragonite]] and [[Rhoder]]'s {{p|Haxorus}} which were under his control. 
 
After Team Plasma took control of Meowth with their machine in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Jessie and James decided to attack their friend in order to get him out of the trance. James commanded Amoonguss to use Stun Spore and paralyzed Meowth, then use Body Slam so they could completely weaken him, orders that it didn't hesitate to fulfill. Having Meowth out of Team Plasma's control, Team Rocket managed to get out of their headquarters using Frillish's Mist.
 
Amoonguss was given away to {{an|Giovanni}} for Team Rocket in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
 
==Personality and characteristics==
Amoonguss has been shown to be a very serious Pokémon in and out of battle. It has never smiled onscreen, in contrast to Jessie's mischievous-looking Frillish. It doesn't appear to have bonded with James like his previous Pokémon did, being his only Grass-type to never attack him when called out, but in terms of loyalty, it is not hesitant to follow James's orders. In battle it can be physically tough, being shown to be capable of knocking out {{AP|Pikachu}} with just one Body Slam.
