Yamask appeared before {{TRT}} in a warehouse in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. {{MTR}} suggested that they capture it to increase their strength. [[Jessie]] agreed and called out her {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} to battle it, but James claimed it was hungry and he proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's [[Poké Ball]], the trio welcoming their newest addition with enthusiasm.

In ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'', Yamask befriended a group of {{p|Litwick}} in a mansion that Team Rocket was temporarily using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, Jessie and Meowth into a trap. Yamask teamed up with Jessie's Woobat, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} to defeat the Litwick and their {{p|Lampent}} leader.

Yamask was used in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'' to capture a {{p|Tirtouga}} that [[Dr. Zager]] had just resurrected, however it escaped after blowing a hole in the helicopter with {{m|AncientPower}}. In [[BW076|next episode]] Yamask ambushed [[Ferris]] and the group with {{m|Night Shade}} and battled to capture the Prototurtle Pokémon alongside Woobat. After Tirtouga evolved into {{p|Carracosta}} and fled the scene, Yamask used its {{m|Haze}} to stop {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} from following {{TRT}}. Yamask later battled Pikachu and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, revealing its {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} attack, as they tied to rescue the captured Carracosta before the time gate at [[Twist Mountain]].  

Yamask also helped to fight off [[Team Plasma]]'s controlled Pokémon in [[BW122]].

Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon, as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Unlike most of James's other Pokémon, such as his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball.

As seen in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', it can use its mask to deflect attacks, much like how [[Ash's Oshawott]] uses his scalchop. It can also, like [[Jessie's Seviper]] before it, use {{m|Haze}} to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick escape.
