Meloetta originally lived among [[Ridley]]'s ancestors in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], watching over the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Reveal Glass}}. They often had to fend off others who sought the power of the Reveal Glass for themselves, with the attacks growing increasingly frequent over time. Eventually, Meloetta sealed the Ruins—along with the Reveal Glass—and fled with the guardian tribe to the forest, where they resettled and lived in peace.  

Meloetta appeared again in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]'' where it was again pursued and attacked by Team Rocket. Jessie had {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} attack it with {{m|Air Slash}}, and James had {{TP|James|Yamask}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}, respectively. {{MTR}} then tried to catch it in an electric net but once again, Meloetta escaped by invisibility. However, it still managed to get injured in the process and wandered into the street in a daze, and almost got run over by [[Cynthia]]'s car. Although Ash hadn't seen it before, he was able to recognize it from before and Cynthia applied [[Potion]] to its wounds. Then they attempted to get its fever down with a bag of ice they had previously smashed from a nearby lake. While {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} searched for an [[Oran Berry]] for it, Ash kept watch.  

In [[BW086|the following episode]], Meloetta appeared once again while [[Jervis]] was taking them to Cynthia's villa. Although it was reluctant to show itself to {{an|Dawn}} at first, it eventually did with encouragement from Ash. Immediately, [[Dawn's Piplup]] fell in love with it too. This angered Oshawott, and caused it and Piplup to constantly fight over Meloetta, and get angry when it chose one over the other. In ''[[BW086|Expedition to Onix Island]]'', it interacted with all of the other Pokémon while at the beach.

In [[BW097|the following episode]], using the Reveal Glass, {{an|Giovanni}} summoned the [[Kami Trio]] to fight Ash, Iris, Cilan, Ridley and Cynthia. After various failed attempts, Meloetta managed to calm the trio down with its song. After [[Team Rocket]] retreated back to [[Kanto]], Meloetta reunited with Ridley at last, and accompanied him back to the village, much to Oshawott's dismay.

Normally Meloetta is an extremely shy Pokémon and will hide from strangers because of its tragic past. However it will quickly warm up to someone new and is willing to help them if needed. Though a genderless species in the games, Meloetta displays many feminine traits. It seems to like Ash most of all, at times exhibiting signs of a crush on him, while Oshawott and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} like it. While it's timid in its Aria Forme, it becomes a strong battler after transforming into its Pirouette Forme and can take on opponents much larger than it is.  

Meloetta can use its voice to calm down the Pokémon around it if they happen to be irritated, which has a similar effect to [[Oración]]. It can turn invisible but it can be seen in this state if proper equipment is used, such as the kind Team Rocket has. It also possesses a song that will unseal the Undersea Temple, which it restrained itself from singing. Following the interaction with Ash, it let its guard down and eventually sang the whole song on a seashore which was recorded by Team Rocket. It also has the ability to channel the energy required to control the Kami trio while they are in Therian Forme. However, this will cause Meloetta a lot of pain.

* In the English dub, [[Bella Hudson|Erica Schroeder]] occasionally provided Meloetta's singing voice when its Japanese singing voice was not separated to its own track.
