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.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! | In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash used Palpitoad as his fifth Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Roxie]] and her final and strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Palpitoad first tried to use Mud Shot on the Trash Heap Pokémon, but Garbodor used its extendable arms to raise itself from the floor and dodge the attack. As Garbodor attacked with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, Palpitoad used Hydro Pump to block it. Palpitoad then tried another Mud Shot, but it was blocked and countered by a {{m|Gunk Shot}} attack, which {{status|poison}}ed Palpitoad as it hit. Garbodor attacked Palpitoad two times with {{m|Venoshock}}, being twice as powerful because of the poison, and he was knocked out. | ||
