Nebby was brought to the Altar of the Sunne by Ash in ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]''. In [[SM052|the next episode]], Ash gave Nebby to the Tapu, asking for their help. After being blessed by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}} and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}, the four deities sung at the Altar, opening the mechanism within and causing Nebby to evolve into {{p|Solgaleo}}, much to the surprise of everyone present. After greeting the others warmly, Nebby accepted Ash, Lillie, and Gladion's plea to help {{an|Lusamine}}, giving Ash a [[Solganium Z]]. After having his [[Z-Ring]] upgraded to a [[Z-Power Ring]] by the Tapu, Ash and the others climbed on Nebby's back, and using the power of the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, created an [[Ultra Wormhole]] to travel to the place Lusamine awaited them.

After arriving in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Nebby and Ash cornered Lusamine during [[SM054|the following episode]]. As a result, Lusamine flooded their island with a poisonous liquid. Due to Nebby's {{type|Steel}} giving it immunity to poison, it protected Ash from the liquid, and then carried him across it, dodging Lusamine's attacks along the way. After that, it went back with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] to help the others fight off Lusamine's Pokémon, who continued to heal themselves due to the Nihilego's energy. Everyone later succeeded after Lusamine was freed from Nihilego's control by Ash. Nebby then carried the group, now joined by the revived Lusamine, back to the Altar of the Sunne. After the conclusion of the episode, it parted from the group.

In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', Nebby appeared above the site of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and Professor Burnet's wedding. The class thanked it for its help in Ultra Space, to which it smiled back at them.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', Nebby and Lunala were playing in an [[Ultra Wormhole]] when they were attacked by a Necrozma. They fled as Necrozma pursued them through the Ultra Wormhole. It eventually wound up being injured by one of Necrozma's attacks and was left behind.

In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nebby arrived in Alola, where it met up with Ash again and fought {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}} in an effort to free Lunala from its control. With its {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, Nebby managed to knock Necrozma off of Lunala, causing it to break apart and fall into the sea. Shortly after, the elite [[Team Rocket]] unit, the [[Matori]] Matrix, attacked Nebby and Lunala by trapping them in an electrified net. After being freed by Ash's Pikachu and [[Gladion's Silvally]], Nebby retaliated by attacking the unit's aircraft, forcing them to retreat. Immediately after, Necrozma emerged from the sea and possessed Nebby, causing it become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane Necrozma}}. Ash tried to free Nebby, but was unable to stop Necrozma, and it fled into an Ultra Wormhole.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', Nebby remained fused with Necrozma. The Ultra Guardians, with Lunala's help, pursued Necrozma to [[Ash's Poipole]]'s [[Poipole's world|home world]], and learned that Necrozma was preying on the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] in order to absorb their light and restore itself to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}. After being asked by {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nagandel}} to save Necrozma, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion attempted to use their Z-Moves to supply Necrozma with Ultra Aura and separate it from Nebby. [[SM090|However]], they were only successful in making it more powerful. Communication between the Guardians and their home base was soon reestablished. After Lusamine, Wicke, and Professor Burnet shared what they knew, they arranged for the people and Pokémon attending the [[Manalo Festival]] to follow the lead of the [[guardian deities]] and share a portion of their Ultra Aura with Necrozma. Combined with the Ultra Aura of the Ultra Guardians and their Pokémon, Necrozma received enough light to separate from Nebby. Nebby then joined forces with Ash, Gladion, and Lunala, giving Necrozma one last boost of power with the combined Ultra Aura of their [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Through these efforts, Necrozma's strength was finally restored. After Ash and Pikachu bade farewell to Poipole, Nebby and Lunala led the Ultra Guardians back to Alola.

After evolving into {{p|Cosmoem}}, Nebby hardly spoke, moved, or emoted, reflective of its coccoon-like state. However, after evolving into {{p|Solgaleo}}, it appeared to have grown into a more mature version of itself physically and mentally, letting Lillie hug it, happily accepting the Star candy from Ash, and licking him affectionately. As a Solgaleo, Nebby can create Ultra Wormholes at will with the help of a Trainer with a [[Z-Power Ring]], a Solganium Z, and its Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash.

{{p|Lunala}} first appeared in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where it was playfully chasing [[Nebby]] through an Ultra Wormhole. However, both of them soon found themselves being chased by {{p|Necrozma}}. Lunala later emerged out of the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], appearing before {{Ash}}, {{ashcl}}, {{an|Gladion}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], {{an|Faba}}, and [[Professor Burnet]], with Necrozma still chasing it.

Lunala reappeared in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where Necrozma continued to chase it around [[Melemele Island]]. Despite the best efforts of {{p|Tapu Koko}}, Necrozma was able to merge with Lunala, becoming {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. Lunala was later freed when Nebby appeared and forced Necrozma to separate from it. Lunala was subsequently taken to the [[Ultra Guardians]] base below the [[Pokémon School]] to be healed. Later, Lunala was able to recover itself by using the energy emitted from Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and Gladion's [[Z-Ring]]s.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Lunala helped Necrozma by giving it some of its Z-Power. The attempt was successful in getting Necrozma to let go of Nebby, but it also angered Necrozma into attacking everyone again. After giving Gladion a [[Lunalium Z]], Lunala and Gladion performed {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} while Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. The combined Z-Moves successfully gave Necrozma enough light to regain its true form and restore Poipole's home world back to normal. Afterwards, it, Nebby, and the Ultra Guardians went back to Alola.

Lunala has a caring attitude towards humans, as evident in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where it saved {{an|Lillie}}, a girl it barely knew, from falling when she was knocked off her [[Poké Ride|Ride]] {{p|Altaria}}. Lunala is also playful, as evident by the way it was chasing [[Nebby]] through an Ultra Wormhole.

{{p|Necrozma}} first appeared in ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', where it chased after [[Nebby]] and {{p|Lunala}} in an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. They emerged out of the Ultra Wormhole at the [[Altar of the Sunne]], appearing before {{Ash}}, {{ashcl}}, {{an|Gladion}}, {{an|Lusamine}}, [[Wicke]], {{an|Faba}}, and [[Professor Burnet]].

It reappeared in ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', where, despite the best efforts of {{p|Tapu Koko}} and the [[Ultra Guardians]], it was able to merge with Lunala and form {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings Necrozma}}. In this state, a special unit from [[Team Rocket]] attempted to catch it, but it was able to break through the net easily. Nebby then appeared and attacked Necrozma with {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, forcing it to separate from Lunala. However, Necrozma then merged with Nebby to form Dusk Mane Necrozma, and left through another Ultra Wormhole.

In ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', the Ultra Guardians and Lunala followed Necrozma through an Ultra Wormhole and arrived at {{AP|Poipole}}'s [[Poipole's world|home world]]. While Lunala went ahead to face Necrozma again, the Ultra Guardians stayed behind with {{p|Naganadel}} and were told of how Necrozma lost its light saving the world from a meteor. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians found Lunala in the process of being defeated by Necrozma and rescued it. Intent on freeing Nebby and restoring Poipole's home world, Ash, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Gladion}} fired simultaneous Z-Moves at Necrozma, hoping that their Z-Power would restore Necrozma to its true self as the Blinding One.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Necrozma absorbed the Z-Moves, but that wasn't enough to get it to let go of Nebby. However, with the combined Z-Power of the Ultra Guardians and their allies back in Alola, Necrozma was filled with enough light to release Nebby from its grasp. Despite their success, Necrozma was only angered by the attempt and attacked everyone so it could absorb Nebby once again. With the Z-Crystals they received from Nebby and Lunala, Ash and Gladion performed {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}, respectively. The two Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma back to its original self, Ultra Necrozma. Necrozma then used its power to restore Poipole's home world back to its previous state. Afterwards, Necrozma appeared in Alola before dissipating into light.

In its weakened, black state, Necrozma was shown to be a highly aggressive Pokémon. It had a strong desire to absorb the light emitted by Lunala, determinedly chasing it all the way to [[Alola]]. It also took out anything that stood in its way, such as [[Nebby]] when it fought to protect Lunala. According to a legend regarding Necrozma, it was once a benevolent Pokémon that gave light to the Alola region along with the other members of the [[Light trio]]. This benevolent side was first seen in a flashback in ''[[SM089|The Prism Between Light and Darkness!]]'', where it stopped a meteor from crashing into Poipole's world.
