Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded its territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]]. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}} and was captured by Ash. | Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded its territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]].

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well, avoiding Stoutland's attacks and dealing out powerful blows.

Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well, avoiding Stoutland's attacks and dealing out powerful blows. Eventually Palpitoad was caught in Stoutland's mouth when it used {{m|Thunder Fang}}, though he avoided damage from the {{type|Electric}} move, being part {{type|Ground}}. However Burgundy took the chance and ordered an {{m|Ice Fang}} attack, which became a problem for Palpitoad until he used {{m|Supersonic}} to shatter the ice and knock Stoutland back. After blocking Stoutland's {{m|Fire Fang}} with {{m|Mud Shot}}, Palpitoad won the match with a direct hit from {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals. | ||
In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being immune to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle and was Ash's sole strategy for the battle. Palpitoad took many ineffective hits from Zebstrika's {{m|Flame Charge}} and a {{m|Double Kick}} attack, proving unable to dodge. As Zebstrika headed towards Palpitoad using {{m|Quick Attack}}, Ash commanded a Supersonic attack which blocked and confused Zebstrika, Palpitoad then finished the match with a Mud Shot followed by a Hydro Pump. Palpitoad showed signs of fatigue after Elesa recalled Zebstrika so both Iris and Cilan suggested that Ash should recall him and switch to another Pokémon but Ash decided to stick with Palpitoad when Elesa brought out Emolga, however Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with {{p|Emolga}}'s fast moves and was hit by an {{m|Acrobatics}} attack and several {{m|Aerial Ace}} attacks before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}} causing him to become immobilized by infatuation. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out, ruining Ash's strategy for the battle. | In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa.

* Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]], however, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance. | * Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size.
