In the anime

A Pikashunium Z in the anime

In 10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!, Ash's Electrium Z abruptly turned into a Pikashunium Z as he was about to attack Nihilego, the Ultra Beast holding Lusamine captive. Using the power of this new Z-Crystal, Ash and Pikachu used 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat UB-01 Symbiont and free Lusamine. The Pikashunium Z reverted back to Electrium Z after the move was performed.

It reappeared in A Battle Hand-Off!, where Ash used it to perform 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once again to defeat Jessie's Mimikyu at the Thrifty Megamart. Afterwards, it once again reverted back to an Electrium Z.

Ash's Electrium Z transformed into Pikashunium Z once more in From Z to Shining Z!, appearing in response to Professor Kukui performing Guardian of Alola with Tapu Koko. With their signature Z-Move, Ash and Pikachu were able to overpower Tapu Koko's Z-Move and defeat it. This time, however, the Pikashunium Z did not revert back into an Electrium Z afterwards.

In Legend? Go! Friends? Go!, the Pikashunium Z was briefly seen in Ash's room in Pallet Town, along with his Z-Power Ring and his other trophies, awards, and memorabilia.

In Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!, Ash was shown to have retrieved his Z-Power Ring and Pikashunium Z in preparation for his World Coronation Series match against Volkner. At the end of the match, Ash used them to perform 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt against Volkner's Electivire, overloading its Motor Drive and defeating it. The Pikashunium Z also saw usage in several more battles during Pokémon Journeys: The Series, most notably during Ash's Masters Eight Tournament matches against Steven and Leon.
