With this team, he lost to the examiner, but was able to defeat the [[Team Rocket trio]]. The {{jo|Battle Park}} of Johto also uses rental Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Multiple rental Pokémon appeared at the Battle Frontier in the {{chap|Emerald}}. During his Battle Factory challenge, {{adv|Emerald}} rented a {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}, which he noticed to be on a higher [[level]] than the other rentals he used, making him realize that it wasn't a rental Pokémon to begin with, and was snuck into the facility by someone. This prompted him to take Sceptile him. {{adv|Ruby}} later revealed him that Sceptile was the very same {{p|Treecko}} that Emerald had been once supposed to receive from [[Professor Birch]].
 
All the rental Pokémon from the Battle Factory were later stolen by the villainous [[Guile Hideout]], using them against those opposing him while he was hunting down {{p|Jirachi}}. Once he successfully caught Jirachi, he unleashed the rental Pokémon upon the members of the press present during the Battle Frontier opening ceremony. He also used the rental Pokémon inside the Battle Tower to attack the [[Pokédex holder]]s until all the rampaging Pokémon were calmed down by Emerald's mud pellets.
 
{{adv|Platinum}} also used multiple rental Pokémon during her Battle Factory challenge in the {{chap|Platinum}}. This allowed her to send {{cat|Platinum's Pokémon|her own Pokémon}} off to help [[Buck]] and [[Looker]] at [[Stark Mountain]].
