Juan debuted in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', where he was first seen putting on a show with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at the inauguration of an art piece in [[Sootopolis City]]. Impressed by how Juan's Pokémon took the stage, {{an|May}} commented that Juan could be a great {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and that she had never seen someone using {{type|Water}} [[Move|attacks]] in such a beautiful and creative manner. Following his water show, {{TRT}} appeared to try to steal Juan's Pokémon. Juan initially mistook them for artists, but when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} told him that they were a trio of thieves, he easily sent them blasting off.
Juan debuted in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', where he was first seen putting on a show with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at the inauguration of an art piece in [[Sootopolis City]]. Following his water show, {{TRT}} appeared to try to steal Juan's Pokémon. After hearing {{TP|James|Chimecho}}'s melodic voice, Juan initially mistook the trio for artists, but when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} told him that they were a trio of thieves, he easily sent them blasting off.


After that, Ash challenged him to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, which Juan accepted. He then offered the group a ride to the [[Sootopolis Gym]] on his boat, where May complimented Juan for his performance. Juan then revealed that he was once a Pokémon Coordinator. After winning the five required [[Ribbon]]s, he entered the [[Grand Festival]] and won with the help of {{p|Milotic}} and the others, earning the [[Ribbon Cup]] and receiving the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

Juan also explained how he ended up [[Type expert|specializing]] in Water-type Pokémon, revealing that he admired their streamlined physiques and their weakness to {{type|Electric}} moves. Max became intrigued by Juan liking a weakness, and Juan explained that, throughout his years competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, he learned that being close to making a mistake is one of the best ways to add appeal to a [[Contest Battle]]. He added that he has learned to wait for attacks, then defend from them accordingly.
When they got to the Gym, Juan was welcomed by his butler and {{cat|Gym assistants|assistant}}, {{ho|Sebastian}}, who informed Ash about the Gym rules. In order to test his challengers and make sure that they are ready to compete in the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|League Conference|Championships}}, Juan provides {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with a unique challenge: the Gym battle is divided into four rounds, with the first one being a [[Double Battle]] held in a large {{wp|swimming pool}}, while the other three rounds consist of one-on-one battles conducted on a battlefield resembling a lake surrounded by land. Ash was able to overcome the obstacles imposed by Juan, and in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', he succeeded in defeating Juan's ace Pokémon, Milotic, thus winning the {{Badge|Rain}} and qualifying for the [[Ever Grande Conference]].

Juan's position as [[Gym Leader]] and his Coordinator past has made him a well-known personality in Sootopolis City. He is particularly popular with young women. Team Rocket went on to use his popularity for their latest scheme, and had [[James]] [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|pose as Juan]] to make money selling memorabilia and signatures in ''Eight Ain't Enough]]''.


Juan reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]''.
