Golurk debuted in That's Some Spicy Island Research!, where it was first seen assisting Hapu in a radish (大根 daikon) field. When Ash passed by with his classmates, he was excited to see Golurk and jumped into the field, only to be stopped when Hapu accused him of being the thief who stole some of the radishes. Ash tried to explain he didn't steal it, but Hapu wouldn't listen and had Golurk battle Ash and Pikachu. With Normal and Electric-type moves having no effect against each other, Golurk had an advantage and defeated Pikachu with High Horsepower.
Golurk later continued to assist Hapu in the field when she noticed more of the radishes had gone missing and flew off on Golurk. They arrived on the beach, where they spotted Ash confronting the real thieves, Team Skull Grunts Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp. Golurk watched as Hapu defeated Team Skull with her Mudsdale. It later flew Hapu back to the field once Team Skull left and Hapu apologized to Ash for her mis-identification.
In Memories in the Mist!, Hapu used her Golurk to battle Tapu Fini with Flash Cannon, before Tapu Fini created an apparition of her grandfather.
In Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!, Hapu used Golurk in her grand trial match against Gladion. It battled his Lycanroc, attacking with Flash Cannon, only to be defeated with Devastating Drake.
