Jessie's Frillish was seen with James' Amoonguss when Team Rocket attacked Ash and his friends for the first time since their "Operation Tempest" and temporary retreat back to Kanto, while Ash, Iris, and Cilan were helping a rookie trainer named Nanette get her new Tepig some experience. Team Rocket then came out of nowhere to capture Ash's Pikachu and Nanette's Tepig, but got defeated by Ash's Unfezant. After that she made a couple of appearances in the series. In the series finale of Pokémon Black and White, Frillish was given away to Giovanni at Team Rocket Headquarters.
