In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', Nando used Kricketune along with his {{p|Lopunny}} to battle [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} in the semifinals. He had devised an elaborate battle strategy for the pair in which Kricketune mimicked a violinist and Lopunny danced like a ballerina. In harmony with his music-themed battling style, he commanded Kricketune to use {{m|Sing}} while Lopunny posed elegantly by its side. However, Zoey had {{pkmn|training|trained}} her Mismagius specifically to use {{m|Lucky Chant}} to counter Sing, a plan which proved successful as it lowered Nando's score. Eventually, Zoey's powerful [[Contest combination|combinations]] forced Nando to fight more directly, and Kricketune performed a vicious exchange of blows with Leafeon before the time ran out, resulting in Zoey's victory. | In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', Nando used Kricketune along with his {{p|Lopunny}} to battle [[Zoey]]'s {{p|Mismagius}} and {{p|Leafeon}} in the semifinals.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', Kricketune was the final Pokémon used by Nando during his battle against {{Ash}} in the first round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It faced off against [[Ash's Heracross]], and similarly to its battle with Leafeon, was evenly matched. During the battle, Kricketune used Sing, but just as Zoey in the [[Grand Festival]], Ash was prepared for Nando's signature technique, having taught Heracross {{m|Sleep Talk}} to allow the {{pkmn|category|Single Horn Pokémon}} to execute | In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', Kricketune was the final Pokémon used by Nando during his battle against {{Ash}} in the first round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

After a fierce battle, Kricketune was defeated by Heracross's {{m|Horn Attack}}, resulting in Nando's elimination from the tournament. | ||
