In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'', Buneary was close by when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was almost run over by [[Officer Jenny]] while trying to get back [[Ash's hat]] from his {{AP|Aipom}}. It managed to rescue Pikachu and stayed near {{ashfr|the group}}'s campsite after that, but [[Brock's Croagunk]] noticed it was hiding in the bushes and it ran off. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} rushed to catch Buneary, but Dawn was determined to battle the Pokémon after failing to catch a {{p|Buneary}} in her [[DP002|previous]] [[DP004|attempts]] to do so. She quickly commanded {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to use {{m|Bubble Beam}}. However, Buneary was able to dodge Piplup's moves and {{status|confusion|confuse}} him with {{m|Dizzy Punch}} before using {{m|Bounce}} to [[Fainting|knock him out]]. | In ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'', Buneary was close by when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was almost run over by [[Officer Jenny]] while trying to get back [[Ash's hat]] from his {{AP|Aipom}}.

After that, it was Ash's turn to try to catch Buneary. He used his Pikachu to battle Buneary, but it acted completely different than when battling Piplup before, covering its face with its fur. It then froze Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}} with {{m|Ice Beam}} and started dancing with Pikachu. Pikachu later scolded Buneary for its actions, upsetting it and making it cry. Buneary stopped crying when it heard something. However, this did not prevent it from being locked inside a glass ball from {{TRT}}'s newest mecha. Pikachu offered to go with [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} if they agreed to free Buneary, but the trio had no plans of letting Buneary go and just wanted to capture Pikachu for {{an|Giovanni|their boss}}. Using {{m|Iron Tail}}, Pikachu managed to break free and save Buneary. Together, they were able to wreck Team Rocket's mecha and then jump before it could explode, with Ash grabbing Pikachu and Buneary landing safely on Dawn's arms. Buneary was later asked if it would like to travel with Dawn. It agreed, but Dawn said they still should have a [[Pokémon battle]]. | After that, it was Ash's turn to try to catch Buneary.

This time, Piplup was prepared for Buneary's moves. Their battle began with Piplup using Bubble Beam, which Buneary dodged. Piplup followed with {{m|Peck}}, only for Buneary to dodge again. When Piplup used another Bubble Beam, Buneary countered with Ice Beam. The two moves clashed, creating an explosion.

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Buneary was called out to help Dawn perfect her newest [[Contest combination]], the Ice Chandelier. It used its Ice Beam to trap {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a ball of ice and Pachirisu used its {{m|Discharge}} to make the ice shine brightly.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Buneary was used in the Performance Stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] along with {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. Both of them were sent out with [[Seal|Line Seals]] and Buneary used Ice Beam to create a large frozen path resembling a roller coaster. Cyndaquil proceeded with {{m|Flame Wheel}}, rolling over the path and melting a trench for Buneary to slide on. After that, Buneary charged an Ice Beam and Cyndaquil used {{m|Smokescreen}} in order to cloak themselves above a large frozen spike.

Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance Dawn to the final round. | ||
It was revealed in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' that Buneary had been chosen by [[Hermione]] to be a model of the Poké Chic magazine. As a result, Dawn decided to remain in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] while {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} returned to [[Kanto]]. | It was revealed in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' that Buneary had been chosen by [[Hermione]] to be a model of the Poké Chic magazine.
