In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Ash used Rowlet as his first Pokémon in the [[Melemele Island]] grand trial, where it battled against [[Hala]]'s {{DL|Hala|Crabrawler}}. It managed to hit Crabrawler with a super effective {{m|Peck}} after dodging a {{m|Bubble Beam}}. Rowlet's attempt to hit a second Peck was stopped however, allowing Crabrawler to hurl it in the air using {{m|Brutal Swing}} followed by a hit from {{m|Power-Up Punch}}. Using a collision between Leafage and Bubble Beam, Rowlet turned the tables by sneaking up on Crabrawler and hit it with a series of Pecks. After barely dodging another Power-Up Punch, it managed to outmaneuver Crabrawler and defeat it with Tackle. Afterwards, Rowlet fell asleep, preventing Ash from using it for the next battle.

In ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', Rowlet was asleep on the beach while Ash, {{an|Lana}}, Mallow, Pikachu, and {{AP|Rockruff}} watched [[Lana's Popplio]] practice making balloons. However, as Popplio was making a balloon, Mallow's Bounsweet sneezed, and blasted out its sweet scent by accident. The scent promptly awoke Rowlet and it flew towards Bounsweet, who instinctively deflected it. Rowlet was sent flying at a high speed into Popplio, and the two eventually floated away in Popplio's balloon. While the others looked for the duo, Rowlet accidentally popped the balloon, causing the duo to fall straight onto a radar that Team Rocket was constructing, with Rowlet getting caught in a ring that was part of the machinery. With this ring, Rowlet was unable to fly. Popplio distracted Team Rocket by using {{m|Bubble Beam}}, then bounced Rowlet on its nose so the two could escape. The two were then confronted by {{MTR}} and [[James's Mareanie]], but were saved by a {{AP|Litten}}. Litten took the duo to its home, where {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}} advised it to take the two back to their Trainers. During their long search, the trio got caught by Team Rocket. However, they managed to escape thanks to Litten and blasted Team Rocket off with their combined attacks. Afterwards, Rowlet and Popplio were reunited with their Trainers, with Ash removing Rowlet's ring.

In ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', Rowlet was sent out to assist Litten in battling a Totem {{p|Lurantis}} and its ally {{p|Castform}} in the [[Lush Jungle]] trial. When Litten was tired and about to be hit by a super effective {{m|Water Gun}} from Castform, Rowlet jumped in and took the attack, easily shaking it off. It then knocked out the Castform with a single Tackle, getting rid of the {{m|Sunny Day}} it had set up in the process. This allowed Litten to defeat Lurantis, meaning Ash cleared the trial and earning him a [[Grassium Z]].

Rowlet also seems to be a very relaxed Pokémon, as shown in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'', when it spent most of the episode not being bothered by what was going on around it, whether that included being splashed by water or being kidnapped by Team Rocket. Rowlet is often seen sleeping during the day, only waking up when it is needed by someone else, such as its Trainer. This character trait was shown in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'' and ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', when Ash called Rowlet out to battle against a Totem Pokémon and its ally, only to find it sleeping, in need of awakening. In its time as a wild Pokémon, it was even seen nodding off while being lectured by its caretaker, {{p|Trumbeak}}. However, in ''[[SM029|Lulled to La-La Land!]]'', Rotom noted that Rowlet shouldn't be sleeping so much. Rowlet has been show to sleep through almost anything, such as during battles and whilst being buried under sand, as shown in ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. Despite this, it is loyal towards its friends, and would do anything to protect them. Due to its naivety and inexperience, Rowlet tends to panic when it is separated from Ash; however, this shows its closeness to Ash. Its closeness to its Trainer was also shown when it would sit or sleep on Ash's head, although it would also sometimes sit on Ash's shoulders.

Ash and Rowlet quickly bonded after meeting each other. Rowlet likes roosting and sleeping in his backpack, and even doesn't mind having company inside the bag as well, which was mainly shown with {{an|Light trio|Nebby}} and Meltan. Like other members of its species, Rowlet is capable of flying silently, as first shown in ''To Top a Totem!''. In the same episode, it took a chance by fighting against the Yungoos without being commanded. Additionally, in ''Currying Favor and Flavor!'', it was shown instinctively protecting Litten from getting hit by a {{m|Water Gun}}. These situations have shown that it is an independent and quick thinking Pokémon. In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', Ash noticed this and used its ability to get the upper hand over [[Hala]] and his {{p|Crabrawler}}. Rowlet is also a fast flyer, as shown in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'' when it was able to dodge a Z-Move with Rockruff in tow. Rowlet has been shown to be easily startled, as shown in ''[[SM016|They Might Not Be Giants!]]'', where it was cowering in fear from the presence of a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stoutland}}, despite the fact that Stoutland was only licking it out of affection. It was also shown to be happy at the thought that Ash would be brought to tears of joy after it reunites with its Trainer and at the thought of {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} being scolded by {{an|Lana|its Trainer}}.
