In the anime

Route 3 in the anime

Route 3 appeared in SM078, where the Ultra Guardians were dispatched there after being informed of the presence of an Ultra Beast in the area. Initially, they assumed that it was the Blacephalon they had met the night before, but upon arriving, they discovered that the Ultra Beast was actually a Xurkitree, which was absorbing electricity from a power line. The Ultra Guardians attempted to capture Xurkitree, but were interrupted when Blacephalon suddenly appeared. The two Ultra Beasts then started a performance showdown, with both of them trying to outdo each other in their display of moves.

The Beast Balls that the Ultra Guardians attempted to throw at the combatting Ultra Beasts were deflected by the air pressure caused by their moves, so they needed to figure out another way of dealing with them before their performance battle would escalate too much. Eventually, Ash came up with the idea of the group using their Pokémon to create an even more spectacular performance to distract the Ultra Beasts, which would give him an opening to use his Lycanroc's Z-Move on them. The plan was successfully executed, and while Blacephalon and Xurkitree were still recovering from Lycanroc's Splintered Stormshards, Lana and Lillie seized the chance and successfully captured the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be safely returned to their respective homeworlds the next day.
