Togedemaru first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'' alongside her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, where they first welcomed {{Ash}} to the [[Pokémon School|school]]. Togedemaru later watched as a group of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s battled Ash and {{an|Kiawe}}. In ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'', she was used to help welcome Ash to the school, competing in Sophocles's challenge against Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} to pop balloons the fastest. Sophocles and Togedemaru quickly took the lead, using Togedemaru's spikes to efficiently break the balloons. After Ash attempted to use Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} to turn the tides, Togedemaru used her {{a|Lightning Rod}} [[Ability]] to absorb the attack and quickly pop the remaining balloons with {{m|Zing Zap}}.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Sophocles used Togedemaru alongside [[Snowy]] in a battle against {{an|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}. Geodude took no damage from Togedemaru's Zing Zap and knocked away Snowy's {{m|Powder Snow}} with {{m|Gyro Ball}}.

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Togedemaru was sent out at the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in order to rescue {{an|Lillie}}'s mother, [[Lusamine]], from the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}} that had captured and possessed her. When the possessed Lusamine sent out her {{p|Mismagius}} to attack everyone, Togedemaru absorbed its Electric-type moves with Lightning Rod. Lusamine's {{p|Lilligant}} then made it dance with {{m|Teeter Dance}}. [[Ash's Litten]] and {{AP|Rowlet}} released it from the dance, and it rejoined the fight. In [[SM054|the next episode]], Togedemaru and Charjabug used Zing Zap and Discharge, respectively, on {{p|Milotic}}. Although Milotic appeared to have been defeated by this move, Nihilego made it get back up and continue battling. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Togedemaru joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Light trio (anime)|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In [[SM129]], Sophocles used Togedemaru in the [[Manalo Conference]] preliminary round [[Battle Royal]], where she battled a {{p|Shiinotic}} before defeating a {{p|Politoed}} with her newly learned {{m|Spiky Shield}}. Togedemaru was among the 16 Pokémon still standing in the end, allowing Sophocles to proceed to the next round.

Togedemaru has a strong relationship with her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, often being seen attached to Sophocles's side. Sophocles even goes to sleep with her by his side, using her glowing cheeks as a {{wp|nightlight}} to help with his fear of the dark. Togedemaru loves to be helpful, as seen when she seems very pleased to help Sophocles run his programs, and is very proud to have helped him win a balloon popping challenge.

She seems to be very fond of [[Ash's Pikachu]], even going so far as to jump on Pikachu in order to show her affection towards him. Togedemaru is also a really energetic Pokémon who is very fond of playing, whether by repeatedly rolling and bouncing around or dancing with Pikachu. At the prospect of being separated from Pikachu, Togedemaru cried a lot, but upon learning that she would not be moving far away, she was overcome with joy and bounced around uncontrollably and shocked the others out of happiness. In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', when Pikachu was hit by [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and another {{p|Marowak}} commanded by {{an|Brock}}, Togedemaru got angry and fought back. When Pikachu went missing in ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', Togedemaru began crying and had to be comforted by Sophocles and Charjabug.

She is a sore loser, as shown in ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'' when she attacked her Trainer after he got eliminated from the [[Pokémon Pancake Race]]. She also has a slightly darker side, as seen in the [[Poké Problem]] segment for [[SM083]], where she smirked at the idea of scaring students and their Pokémon at the Pokémon School due to her increase in size from [[Faba]]'s size altering machine. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Togedemaru was shown to have a distaste for [[Poni Island]] {{wp|daikon}}.

In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', while Sophocles was trying to battle with Charjabug so it could evolve into {{p|Vikavolt}}, Togedemaru was shown to be inconsiderate, absorbing Charjabug's {{m|Discharge}} and attacking a wild {{p|Golduck}} with {{m|Zing Zap}}. In the same episode, she was revealed to enjoy riding on Vikavolt without fear.
