History

Zirc debuted in HZ001 alongside the other members of the Explorers. Zirc was the first one to find Liko and her Sprigatito after they tried to escape and confronted them with his Rhydon, only for it to be subdued by Sprigatito's aroma. When Friede from the Rising Volt Tacklers swoop in to defend Liko, Amethio stopped him and Onia from assisting. After Friede escaped with Liko in the next episode, him and the rest of the Explorers gave chase, broke through the airship's defenses, and threatened Liko to give herself up. Friede stopped them from leaving and battled Amethio once more, but they managed to escape after Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a Leafage strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, taking it as a hostage in the process.

In HZ003, Zirc kept an eye on the Brave Asagi whilst most of the members of the Rising Volt Tacklers were searching for Sprigatito. Unseen by Ludlow who remained onboard the Brave Asagi fishing, Zirc was able to place an unknown device on the ship.

As of HZ006, after leaving without a mission to complete, that was now given by Spinel, Zirc decided to follow Amethio in order to discover more about the Black Rayquaza that was summoned from Roy's ancient Poké Ball.

In HZ021, Zirc with Amethio and Onia arrived in the Galar region in order to investigate the Galar Mine. In the next episode, Zirc and his team arrived at the Galar Mine where they came across Roy, Liko, and Friede as they battled them. However, the two groups witness a Galarian Moltres that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them. Seeing how powerful Moltres is, Zirc and Onia retreated from their battle against Roy and Liko. In the following episode, Zirc and Onia were with Amethio as they agree to help him get the Pokémon that was in the pedant.

In HZ024, Zirc, Amethio, and Onia reported his findings to Hamber. After giving his information to Hamber, Zirc, Amethio, and Onia followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to an old castle in Hammerlocke. Once they found them at the old castle, Zirc and his teammates surrounded them in order to take the Pokémon away. In the next episode, Zirc tried to prevent Roy and Liko's escape, but failed. However, Zirc was able to find Roy and Liko again, as he and Onia forced them to battle. During the battle, Zirc was overwhelmed by Roy's improvement in battle, which led him to lose.
