Pansage was given to Cilan at a young age when his brothers also received their first Pokémon; he made his first appearance in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' where he showed him to {{Ash}} who scanned him on his [[Pokédex]] before battling.

Pansage was the third and final Pokémon Ash faced in his [[Striaton City]] Gym battle, where he went up against [[Ash's Oshawott]]. However, Pansage dodged all of his attacks with ease and hit Oshawott quite hard with {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks. After Oshawott finally hit a midair Pansage with {{m|Water Gun}}, Pansage started charging {{m|SolarBeam}}, which petrified Oshawott with fear. He appeared again in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' where Oshawott deflected the SolarBeam and Pansage was soon defeated by Oshawott, earning Ash his [[Badge#Trio Badge|first Badge]] in the [[Unova]] region. At the end of the episode, Cilan takes Pansage with him while he travels with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', Cilan used Pansage in a battle against [[Iris's Axew]] to help Axew gain some battle experience. Even though Pansage significantly lowered his own attack power (twenty percent lower, according to Cilan), Axew was thrown off by his attacks. The battle ended when Axew used {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but he accidentally misfired it, which caused a massive explosion that took Pansage, as well as everyone else, by surprise.

In ''[[BW011|A Home for Dwebble!]]'', Pansage was used to help track down a group of {{p|Dwebble}} by using {{m|Dig}}. He was accidentally injured by the {{TP|Cilan|one Dwebble|Dwebble}} that he was trying to help. He was hit in the head by a small rock. Dwebble apologized and a friendship was formed between the two Pokémon. He later fell ill because of the injury and was given an herbal remedy made by Iris. In the morning, after Pansage recovered, he assisted Dwebble in getting its rock back. Pansage was very happy when Dwebble decided to travel with Cilan and himself, so that their friendship could continue.

Pansage battled against [[Burgundy]], another [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]''. Cilan chose him to battle her {{p|Sawsbuck}}, which he defeated after confusing it with Dig and hitting it with strong {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} attacks, not taking a single hit in the process, showing that Pansage was a better battler than Ash and Iris originally thought.

Pansage's abilities as a swimmer were shown in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]''. Cilan used him in a fishing competition to battle a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Basculin}} both in and out of the water. He was able to subdue it with SolarBeam and Cilan was able to capture it. However, it was later released. Later, Pansage was used to help stop {{TRT}} from stealing the Pokémon that were captured by the fishing competition contestants.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Pansage appeared in [[Luke]]'s movie alongside Cilan, as the main antagonists of the film. Later when Team Rocket had stolen {{TP|Luke|Zorua}} he switched roles and helped save Zorua when Cilan began to ad-lib his part, claiming to be a Magician now freed by Team Rocket's evil influence.

In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', Cilan used Pansage to battle with [[Chili]]'s {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}, after they were challenged. During the battle, Pansage was revealed to know {{m|Rock Tomb}}, which he used to defeat the High Temp Pokémon. He also calmed Pansear down after it had a fight with its Trainer. Pansage, Cilan and the others all later helped Chili and Pansear train and even learn his own most powerful attack: SolarBeam.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Cilan called upon Pansage to hold off {{p|Tornadus}} while Ash, Iris and [[Lewis]] ran ahead to {{p|Landorus}}'s shrine. However, Pansage was soon overcome by the legendary Pokémon who had a type advantage and was returned to his [[Poké Ball]]. Then in [[BW060|the next episode]], he helped rescue the members of the [[Forces of Nature]] from {{TRT}} after they were captured, repeatedly using {{m|SolarBeam}} on Dr. Zager's helicopter until he was joined by Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], [[Iris's Axew]] and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'', Cilan called upon Pansage to participate in [[Skyla]]'s 'Air battle' simulation. Skyla then predicted that Pansage would not be able to beat her {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Pansage battled Skyla's {{p|Swoobat}} and proved her right by falling quickly to Swoobat's {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Gust}} attacks without landing a single hit.

Pansage was Cilan's chosen Pokémon for the [[Clubsplosion]] tournament. He battled [[Flora]]'s {{p|Gothorita}} in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'' for the first round. After his SolarBeam collided with Gothorita's {{m|Psyshock}}, Pansage was able to win the battle, using Dig whilst covered by the smoke created by the collision. He later battled [[Stephan's Sawk]] in ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]''. Pansage was overwhelmed when Sawk easily defended against his Bullet Seed with {{m|Close Combat}} and hit him hard. Pansage attempted to stop Sawk's {{m|Karate Chop}} with Bite, but it only allowed Sawk a better method of attack, slamming Pansage to the ground. After the brutal attack, Pansage was able to stand back up, only to immediately be defeated by {{m|Low Sweep}}, knocking Cilan out of the tournament.

In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', he was chosen to battle {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. However, Pansage found it difficult to compete with Piplup's Pokémon Contest techniques; having a Bullet Seed knocked back at him by {{m|Drill Peck}} and Rock Tomb destroyed by a {{m|BubbleBeam}} [[Counter Shield]]. Eventually, Pansage launched a SolarBeam which clashed with Piplup's {{m|Ice Beam}} causing a firework-like explosion. Upon seeing this, {{an|Meloetta}} became over-excited and interrupted the battle; [[Jervis]] then called an official time out.

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Pansage helped his trainer to gather fruit for lunch. When the gang encountered an {{p|Abomasnow}}, Pansage offered a piece of fruit to the Frost Tree Pokémon, only to be attacked instead. The Abomasnow was revealed to be owned by [[Morana]] who had come to challenge Cilan. Pansage briefly reunited with Chili's Pansear and [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}} before confronting Morana and her Abomasnow with his trainer. When the battle started, Abomasnow's {{a|Snow Warning}} ability lay snow across their battle field. Both Pokémon collided their equally powerful Bullet Seed attacks before Pansage dodged and struck Abomasnow with Dig, only to take a hit from Abomasnow's {{m|Strength}}. Pansage's Solarbeam was then matched by Abomasnow's {{m|Blizzard}}. Pansage then managed to avoid {{m|Sheer Cold}} with Dig and strike his opponent with Bullet Seed from within the hole. Pansage readied a Rock Tomb to finish the battle but was frozen by Blizzard. As Abomasnow charged towards the frozen Pansage using Strength, Pansage managed to charge a Solarbeam which broke through the ice and stopped Abomasnow's attack. Pansage finally knocked out his opponent with Rock Tomb. After the battle, Pansage graciously healed Abomasnow with herbs from his head.

Much like his Trainer, Pansage is kind and cheerful to others. He was patient and gentle when battling the severely disadvantaged {{TP|Iris|Axew}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' as well as on the wild {{p|Venipede}} in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He had no problem with adjusting his own attack power on these Pokémon. He is also shown to be very forgiving in ''[[BW011|A Home For Dwebble!]]'' as he held no grudge against {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}} despite being injured by it and eventually made ill. However, he can also be very competitive as seen in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' when he battled against [[Burgundy]]'s {{p|Sawsbuck}}, as well as quick tempered as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' when he was suddenly attacked while taking a nap and knocked out {{TP|Bianca|Minccino}} without being given orders.

Pansage was shown to have a close relationship with [[Chili's Pansear]] in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', as the two happily greeted each other with a handshake. He also consoled Pansear after it and Chili had a fight, and was happy to train with it so Pansear could learn {{m|SolarBeam}}. This relationship was shown again in ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', while Cress's Panpour was also shown to share this close bond. Pansage was shown to be gracious in victory in the same episode, healing the Abomasnow that had previously been aggressive towards him.
