In the anime
Stow-on-Side first appeared in Sword and Shield: The Darkest Day!, where Sonia took Goh to visit the ancient mural. When they were about to leave, one of Oleana's subordinates attacked them with his Gigantamax Garbodor. In response, Goh Dynamaxed his Raboot. During the ensuing battle, Raboot accidentally destroyed the mural, revealing a set of statues hidden behind it. The battle concluded in the next episode, with Raboot defeating its opponent. After examining the statues and identifying them as Zacian and Zamazenta, Goh and Sonia headed to the Slumbering Weald to go find the two Legendary Pokémon.
In Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!, a Galarian Yamask was shown to have involuntarily Dynamaxed at Stow-on-Side due to Eternatus's influence. Once Eternatus was defeated and the Darkest Day ended, it reverted back to normal.
