In the core series games

Pokémon X and Y

Sina and Dexio meeting the player on Route 4

Dexio and Sina are first met by the player in Route 4 where they discuss about Flabébé and the Fairy type. Dexio then introduces himself as a Pokémon-voyage veteran who received his Pokédex from Professor Sycamore two years beforehand. In the gate to Lumiose City, Dexio tells the player about friendship and gives the player TM27 (Return). After arriving at Lumiose City, Dexio tells the player to follow Sina to Professor Sycamore's lab.

Further on, he and Sina give the player the Coastal Kalos Pokédex at Route 8 and the Mountain Dex in Coumarine City.

Sina and Dexio as the masked heroes

The duo are soon met again at the Kalos Power Plant, disguised as the defenders of Kalos. They arrive to stop Team Flare, but by the time they get there, the player has already driven the villains away. They thank the player for their help and offers their assistance before taking off. Dexio is met alongside Professor Sycamore when the player reaches Dendemille Town to discuss the legend of Xerneas^X/Yveltal^Y. The player meets them again in their disguises in Lysandre Labs, where they ask if the player has seen a man as tall as a stretched-out Seviper that Team Flare has been searching for. There, they pretend that they have never met the player and warns them to be safe when fighting against Team Flare.

After Lysandre is defeated in the Team Flare Secret HQ, the masked Dexio and Sina thanks the player for their victory. Tierno reveals that he and Trevor teamed up with Dexio and Sina to free the Pokémon Team Flare tied to the stones on Route 10 to power their ultimate weapon. When Tierno states their names, Sina denies their true identities. Dexio also reveals that he and Sina destroyed the machine Lysandre used to spy on peoples' Holo Casters.

After the player has become Champion, Dexio is seen with Sina in the parade Professor Sycamore made for the player and their friends.

The player later meets the duo in an Aether Foundation Laboratory on Route 16, where they explain how to use the Zygarde Core to create a Zygarde to add to their team.

After becoming the first Champion of the Alola League, the player meets Dexio and Sina again at Ancient Poni Path. Dexio begins to mention Mega Evolution, and battles the player to demonstrate it, using his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his Alakazam. After defeating him, Dexio and Sina explain Key Stones and Mega Stones to the player, and give them a Key Stone of their own, suggesting that they attach it to the opposite end of their Z-Ring. Dexio also gives the player Alakazam's Mega Stone, Alakazite.

Dexio in the fourteenth chapter

X & Y arc

Dexio first appeared in Kangaskhan...Kangascan't. He and Sina were first seen being called by Professor Sycamore to make a copy of the footage of Vaniville Town's destruction so that Lysandre may study it.

In What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes, Dexio and Sina were sent to find Professor Sycamore's missing Charmander, which had escaped from his lab. They found Charmander with X and his friends. Mistaking the children for thieves, Dexio and Sina took Charmander, but were stopped by Tierno, who used his Roller Skates to take Charmander back. After Tierno explained that they were merely returning Charmander to its proper owner, Dexio and Sina excused themselves and left.

In Zygarde Appears, Dexio and Sina infiltrated Lysandre Café. There, they defeated a disguised Team Flare Grunt and interrogated him for information on Team Flare's whereabouts. After getting what they wanted, Dexio and Sina reported to Professor Sycamore that Team Flare went into hiding at the Pokémon Village.

In Floette Returns, after Team Flare's defeat, Professor Sycamore had Dexio and Sina sent to Alola to investigate the Zygarde Cells that have been spotted around the region.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

In A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, Dexio and Sina arrived on Ula'ula Island. In the five months that passed since they arrived in Alola, the duo managed to gather sixty percent of Zygarde's Cells. Later, they spotted Sun using Stoutland Search and decided to ask him to help find the remaining Cells.

In Confusion and Monsters from Another World, Dexio and Sina infiltrated the Aether House, where they met Sun and requested that he help them find Zygarde's Cells. While he was initially reluctant, Sun agreed after Dexio and Sina offered to pay him a large amount of money for each Cell he found. After receiving a Zygarde Cube to store the Cells in as well as a Mecha Fletchling to keep in touch with Dexio and Sina, Sun set off.

In Darkness!! The Mysterious Claws of Necrozma!, Dexio and Sina introduced Samson Oak to the Reassembly Unit at the Aether Base on Route 16, which they planned to use to control Zygarde's forms. Later, Dexio, Sina, Samson, and Lillie set off to Mount Lanakila to investigate an Ultra Wormhole that appeared above the area. Before they could leave, a large swarm of Zygarde Cells and a Core converged into the Reassembly Unit and emerged as a Complete Forme Zygarde. Shortly afterward, Sun emerged from the wormhole and was rescued by Zygarde. Dexio and the others traveled to Mount Lanakila, where they found an injured Lunala and Lusamine. After Lillie helped free her mother from the Nihilego she was fused with, Lusamine fainted. Sun tried getting Zygarde to take Lusamine to a hospital, only to notice that Necrozma had arrived.

Sun and Samson stayed behind to battle Necrozma while Dexio and Sina took Lillie and Lusamine to a safer place. They tried taking an elevator to the base of the mountain, only for Dexio to be hit by a poison arrow fired by Plumeria, who had disguised herself as Moon. In Regeneration!! The Power of the Sun and the Moon!, both Sina and Dexio's Pokémon were taken out, where it was then up to Lillie to stop Plumeria.
