Turffield first appeared in Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw, where Milo was informed of the new Gym Challengers endorsed by Leon.
In Watch Out!! Strong Rivals, Professor Magnolia mentioned that she had been given permission to investigate the Turffield geoglyph, but as she was unable to arrange enough time to visit it, she asked Henry, Casey, and Sonia to investigate it in her stead.
