Ecruteak City first appeared in ''[[EP181|A Ghost of a Chance]]'' and ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived there for Ash's next Johto Gym {{pkmn|battle}}. On their way, they encountered a street artist and {{tc|Firebreather}} named [[Infernando]], who tried to sell them a "[[Dowsing Machine|Treasure Detector]]", but they declined the offer. When [[James]] later encountered him as well, he gladly bought the detector with the money he had been supposed to spend for food.

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Ash and his friends returned to Ecruteak City on their way to [[Mahogany Town]], and encountered the Kimono Girls again, finding out that Sakura had evolved her {{p|Eevee}} into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}. By the end of the episode, Sakura finally embarked on her own journey to collect Badges, heading to [[Violet City]]. In ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]'', the group met [[Eusine]], a friend of Morty's and a pursuer of the Legendary Pokémon {{OBP|Suicune|recurring}}. Upon finding out that Ash had seen Suicune, Eusine accused him of lying and tried to challenge him to a battle, but the match was interrupted when {{t|Bug}} Pokémon started going wild around the city due to Team Rocket having stolen and accidentally broken one of the four [[Clear Bell|Crystal Bells]]. While dealing with the trio of thieves, the group came face to face with Suicune itself. Eusine attempted to battle the Legendary beast, but the Aurora Pokémon easily [[escape]]d by using {{m|Roar}} on Eusine's {{p|Alakazam}}.

In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]] were shown watching {{an|May}}'s [[Wallace Cup]] performance from Ecruteak City. In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', the city was featured in {{an|Lyra}}'s presentation of the Johto region during the [[Johto Festival]].

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup—Hello, Adventure!]]'', Ecruteak City was mentioned by {{un|Cameron}}. He had planned to travel there, because he believed that the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|League Conference|tournament}} would be held there, having to be corrected by Ash and his friends.

In ''[[JN009|Finding a Legend!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] visited Ecruteak City to investigate the Ho-Oh sightings made there. However, it turned out that the sighted "Ho-Oh" was just a disguised {{p|Fearow}} belonging to a boy named [[Chad]], who desperately wanted his grandfather [[Jaye]] to see Ho-Oh so that he could regain his fate of its existence. With Goh's advice, they started climbing the Bell Tower, but they were caught in illusions created by a {{TP|Goh|Misdreavus}} and a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Stantler}} until Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} them. At the top of the tower, they started waving Jaye's [[Rainbow Wing]] around and calling for Ho-Oh to appear. Though their calls didn't seem to work, the Rainbow Wing started glowing in response to a rainbow appearing in the sky. When they started to leave, Jaye managed to get a view of Ho-Oh flying in the distance, though the others didn't see it.
