Nanu debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where {{TRT}} hoped to get a [[Z-Ring]] from him at the recommendation of {{an|Giovanni}}. However, he initially refused to give one to them, even claiming that the [[Island Kahuna]] was away at the time. Later, when [[Acerola]] had been kidnapped by a {{p|Gengar}} [[nickname]]d Greedy Rapooh and Team Rocket helped save her, Nanu reconsidered and gave them a [[Z-Power Ring]], which they used in conjunction with their [[Darkinium Z]] to activate {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}} and defeat Rapooh. | Nanu debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', where {{TRT}} hoped to get a [[Z-Ring]] from him at the recommendation of {{an|Giovanni}}.

In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Nanu was revisited by the Rocket trio, who were looking for Ash. He sent them to the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, and later sent Ash as well in a ploy to delay the grand trial. Nanu was shocked that Ash had defeated the trio, leaving him with no choice but to accept Ash’s challenge for a grand trial. | In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Nanu was revisited by the Rocket trio, who were looking for Ash.

Under these conditions, Ash chose to use Lycanroc. During the battle, Nanu noticed that Lycanroc's red-eyed state boosted its power while Ash continued to mistake the occurrence for another rage attack. Nanu attempted to use this to his advantage by taunting Ash and questioning his skills as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Ash, however, saw through the distraction tactic and eventually managed to clear the grand trial, partially thanks to {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}} healing Lycanroc with a [[Sitrus Berry]] in between the second and third rounds. After being defeated, Nanu considered giving Ash a Darkinium Z, but quickly changed his mind and gave him a [[Lycanium Z]] instead. | ||
In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nanu and Acerola were seen praying at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] while they waited for the [[Manalo Festival]] to begin. In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Nanu joined the rest of Alola in restoring {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}} by lending it some of his Z-Power. | In ''[[SM088|Full Moon and Many Arms!]]'', Nanu and Acerola were seen praying at the [[Ruins of Abundance]] while they waited for the [[Manalo Festival]] to begin.
