Initially, Wulfric is not at the Snowbelle Gym, instead being said to be at the {{rt|20|Kalos|Winding Woods}}. Indeed, Wulfric is found at the [[Pokémon Village]], a location west of the woods, where he explains the place to the player. From there, he goes back to his gym, which is now able to be challenged.

Wulfric debuted in ''[[XY120|All Hail the Ice Battlefield!]]'', in which Ash battled him in an attempt to earn his eighth Kalos Gym [[Badge]]. Despite only using two Pokémon to battle Ash's three, Wulfric emerged victorious. Wulfric then explained that Ash is not having enough trust in his bond with {{AP|Greninja}}, which left the latter in serious doubt.

Wulfric reappeared in ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', where Ash, having gotten over a subsequent bout of depression from Wulfric's explanation, challenged him to a [[rematch]]. This time, Ash put up a much better fight, eventually leading both sides with one Pokémon each: Ash's Greninja standing up against Wulfric's {{p|Abomasnow}}. With its now-perfected Ash-Greninja form, Greninja was easily able to gain an upper hand in the battle. However, Wulfric then suddenly [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] his Abomasnow, giving it a massive power boost. Despite this, Ash was eventually able to win the battle, earning him the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

Wulfric appeared in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', where he was in the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]], watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from [[Lumiose City]] while being surrounded by some wild Pokémon in the forest. He appeared again in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where he was among those who helped to destroy the [[Giant Rock]] along with Abomasnow.

He appeared again in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during a flashback.

====On hand====

|desc={{p|Abomasnow}} was the first Pokémon Wulfric used during his Gym battle with Ash. Although he ended up being soon defeated by [[Ash's Hawlucha]], he managed to set up a {{OBP|hail|weather condition}}storm, which proved troublesome for Ash later in the battle.

Abomasnow reappeared in ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', where he was Wulfric's final Pokémon in his rematch with Ash. He soon defeated [[Ash's Talonflame]], despite the massive type disadvantage. Ash's next choice was {{AP|Greninja}}, who soon gained an upper hand on Abomasnow and turned into its Ash-Greninja form, overpowering Abomasnow even further . Wulfric then revealed that Abomasnow was capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], making Ash-Greninja's opponent a Mega Abomasnow. Despite the increase in power, Mega Abomasnow was eventually defeated by Ash-Greninja, winning the match for Ash and earning him the {{badge|Iceberg}}.

He reappeared in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where he helped to destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

He appeared again in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during a flashback.

Abomasnow's known moves are {{m|Ice Shard}}, {{m|Wood Hammer}}, {{m|Blizzard}}{{tt|*|In the Poké TV segment for XY120}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, and {{m|Ice Punch}} and his Ability is {{a|Snow Warning}}.}}

|desc={{p|Avalugg}} was the second Pokémon used by Wulfric in his Gym battle with Ash. With the hailstorm set up by Abomasnow, Avalugg was able to use its Ice Body Ability to keep regaining health during the entire battle. It quickly defeated Ash's Hawlucha, after which Ash chose to use {{AP|Talonflame}}. Using Talonflame's great {{stat|Speed}} to his advantage, Wulfric had Avalugg use Avalanche, which was powered up due to Avalugg acting after its opponent. This eventually led to Talonflame's defeat, and Ash sent out {{AP|Greninja}} as his final Pokémon. Even though Greninja managed to freeze Avalugg's legs with quickly freezing {{m|Water Shuriken}}s and transform into its Ash-Greninja form, it still wound up defeated, costing Ash the battle. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[XY121|next episode]].

|desc={{p|Bergmite}} was used by Wulfric in Ash's rematch against him in ''[[XY122|A Real Icebreaker!]]'', where it battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Despite proving to be surprisingly tough, it was eventually defeated with a super effective {{m|Iron Tail}}.

It's unknown if this Bergmite is one of the five Bergmite that greet visiting Trainers at the Gym, or a separate one Wulfric uses for Gym battles.

Wulfric debuted in the {{chap|X & Y}}. He was first mentioned by Grant as having not yet arrived to a meeting between the Kalos Gym Leaders about what to do with Team Flare. Once he arrived and the meeting finished, Wulfric and four other Gym Leaders meet up with {{adv|Y}}'s group. They travel by sea on Wulfric's Avalugg to Geosenge Town, where Team Flare's base is located. Upon arriving, they find the ultimate weapon in the process of being activated. When Y leaps in to keep the weapon's petals from opening, the Gym Leaders assist her by also using their strength and their Pokémon to keep the weapon closed.

Despite their best efforts, the Gym Leaders are unable to prevent the ultimate weapon from blooming and firing on the Kalos region. The attack hits many areas and damages several buildings, but the heroes' efforts managed to weaken the weapon's power and prevent any lives from being taken. The Gym Leaders and Y were also protected from the attack thanks to [[Olympia]] and [[Valerie]]'s Pokémon surrounding them in barriers.  

Later, the Kalos Gym Leaders help rebuild the damaged buildings that were destroyed by the ultimate weapon's blast. Due to Team Flare's influence over the media, the Gym Leaders and X's group were blamed for the incident.  

Sometime later, Team Flare attempts to reactivate the plan to use the ultimate weapon by extracting life energy from wild Pokémon captured at the [[Pokémon Village]]. The plan is interrupted by the arrival of [[Viola]], [[Clemont]], [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]], who lead a charge to free the captured Pokémon. When {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Chalmers}} attempts to call for backup, Wulfric picks up the line and informs him that he and the other Gym Leaders have defeated the other members of Team Flare that were stationed at [[Cyllage City]]. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Wulfric and his allies meet with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory.  

* Wulfric's Avalugg is the highest-leveled Pokémon used by a Gym Leader prior to entering the Hall of Fame, at level 59.

* In the Battle Chateau during the initial battle, Wulfric's Cryogonal knows {{m|Confuse Ray}} at level 40 even though it can [[Game move errors|only learn it at level 45]].
