In the anime

Maylene and her Meditite in the anime.

Meditite first appeared under the ownership of Shauna in A Meditite Fight.

In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Meditite and its evolved form, Medicham, worked for a traveling family of circus performers. The two Meditation Pokémon used Psychic to make balls of water retain their form.

In Lost Leader Strategy!, it was revealed that Maylene used a Meditite in her gym battle with Paul. Her Meditite also appeared again in Crossing the Battle Line! in a battle with Dawn, where it battled against her Buneary and won, then it battled against her Ambipom, where it lost. Meditite was also used to battle Ash's Staravia in A Triple Fighting Chance!.
