In the anime

Bonsly follows Ash and co. on their mission to rescue Pikachu in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Later, Brock captures a baby Bonsly and takes care of it.

In King and Queen for a Day, a Bonsly and Mime Jr. that were stars of a television show went missing and were discovered to be sick when they were found, so Brock's Bonsly and James's Mime Jr. had to fill in for them.

Trivia

• Bonsly's US name was revealed on 16th June 2005.

Origin

It may be based on petrified wood, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a flowerpot. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the bonsai tree itself.

Name origin

Bonsly's name is a combination of bonsai, miniature trees, and sly.

It's Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘っぱち usoppachi, downright lie. It could also be a combination of 嘘 uso, false, and 鉢 hachi, flowerpot, which might be more likely since it can use an attack called fake tears.
