Palpitoad was first seen in [[BW034]], where [[Trip]] attempted to capture it, but because of Ash accidentally interrupting, it was able to escape. It then appeared in [[BW035]], where it was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. It was not happy about Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} invading its territory and sent its Tympole friends to attack them. When they could not defeat Oshawott, Palpitoad called for {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. Palpitoad and Stunfisk were ultimately defeated by Ash and {{an|Cilan}} and captured by them, respectively.
Palpitoad was first seen in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', where he was the leader of a group of {{p|Tympole}} that lived in a lake. {{Ash}} and {{AP|Oshawott}} had unknowingly invaded its territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, {{an|Cilan}}'s, and {{an|Iris}}'s Pokémon heal after being {{status|poisoned}} by {{p|Foongus}} that were disturbed by [[Ash's Scraggy]]. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}}'s help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly mastered {{m|Aqua Jet}} and was captured by Ash.
 
In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'' he was used in the [[Club Battle]] Tournament against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well and with patience, they managed to defeat Burgundy's powerful Stoutland with a combination of {{m|Supersonic}}, {{m|Mud Shot}}, and a powerful {{m|Hydro Pump}}. In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Palpitoad battled [[Dino]]'s {{p|Darumaka}} in the semifinals, and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.
 
In [[BW050]], Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being resistant to {{type|Electric}} moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle and was able to defeat Elesa's powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}. However next up was Elesa's {{p|Emolga}} and Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with Emolga's fast moves and was hit by several {{m|Aerial Ace}}s before he was hit with Emolga's {{m|Attract}} causing him to become immobilized. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out.
 
==Personality and characteristics==
Palpitoad was once quite the rowdy Pokémon, and liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of {{p|Tympole}} and a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} to attack Ash and his {{AP|Oshawott}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, Palpitoad has been shown to be quite the powerhouse. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer and they were able to work well together despite only recently being captured and it being the first battle Palpitoad participated in.

==Trivia==
* Like [[Dawn's Togekiss]], there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his [[BW032|debut appearance]], he was similar to the size of [[Ash's Oshawott]], however, in his [[BW039|second appearance]], he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in [[BW050]], he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.
