Oleana debuted inCrackle!! Practice Battle. She was first seen atRose Tower, whereRose received a call fromLeon aboutendorsingHenry Sword andCasey Shield for theGym Challenge.
InToasty!! Battle Against Toxapex, Oleana appeared with Rose atHulbury, where they met Henry andMarvin. Seeing potential in Henry, Rose invited the boy to dinner at the Captain's Table restaurant, only to be dragged away by Oleana, who noted he didn't have free time to spare. Later, she took Henry andSonia to meet with Rose, whose insistence on having dinner forced her to add it to his schedule. Noting Sonia's investigation of theDynamax phenomenon, Rose suggested she may find hints about it in Galar's history. He had Oleana make arrangements for Sonia to be allowed access to the vault inHammerlocke.
InTeary!! The Voice of the Master, Oleana and Rose stoppedBede from destroying theStow-on-Side mural to obtainWishing Stars. Rose reprimanded Bede for damaging an important piece of Galar's history and punished him with disqualification from the Gym Challenge.
InStealth!! Infiltrate the Energy Plant, after an earthquake shook Hammerlocke,Raihan went into theEnergy Plant to see if Rose was safe. There, he found Oleana and Rose, who explained the shaking was due to an experiment with Wishing Stars. They hoped to find a new source of electricity to prevent an energy crisis a thousand years away. Raihan agreed to keep what he learned secret and left without issue, though Oleana noted he didn't believe their explanation. They then prepared to feed the Wishing Stars to anEternatus they held captive.
InChomp!! It's Dracovish, Oleana was revealed to have sent a groupMacro Cosmos's to deal with aDracovish that suddenlyDynamaxed due to the Energy Plant incident. When they reported their failure, an annoyed Oleana informed Rose of the situation and ordered the team to stand back inWyndon.
InRumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day, after discovering Rose was working together withSordward andShielbert, the Gym Leaders gathered at Rose Tower to find out if Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. Oleana faced the Gym Leaders to prevent them from getting inside, but Henry, Casey, Bede,Hop, andMarnie managed to sneak by. Rose wasn't in the building, but appeared on a video screen, where he revealed his plan to release Eternatus and restart theDarkest Day, thus ensuring the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start Dynamaxing at random.
InShock!! Chairman Rose's Plan, after Sordward and Shielbert failed to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from going out of control, Oleana was ordered by Rose to begin plan B. While Rose faced Eternatus with hisGigantamax Copperajah, Oleana asked Henry's group to help assist Rose. They agreed and went to the summit, where they found Rose had already lost. While Oleana and Bede tended to Rose, Leon's group took Eternatus down, only for it to get back up, change into its Eternamax form, and quickly overwhelm everyone. The others were saved byZacian andZamazenta, but when the two Pokémon tried using theRusted Sword andShield, Eternatus snatched the artifacts and Henry out of the air.
InOh My!! The Disappearance of Henry, Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus with a doubleGiga Impact, causing a massive explosion of energy and light. Once the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had all vanished. Casey and Marvin reviewed footage of the incident and discovered somethingteleporting Henry away just as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus clashed. By tracking samples of the poison on Henry's body and the material of the rusted artifacts, they found matching signals on both theIsle of Armor and theCrown Tundra. With no idea where Henry ended up, Oleana sent Casey, Marvin, Bede, Hop, and Marnie to both locations.
InBAAM!! Incredible Evolution of the Three Pokémon, she received news that the antidote has been collected and send a Macro Cosmos's employee to collect. Later inBom Bom!! Kubfu and Intense Training, she checked in on the hospitalized Gym Leaders along with Sonia.
InClip-Clop!! The King's Horse, she was seen monitoring the situation with some Macro Cosmos employees after the Darkest Day has restarted. InRumble!! The Darkest Day Returns, she entrusted the situation of the Darkest Day to the recovered Gym Leaders and Leon to handle.
InShing!! Final Form, she called Leon to inform Eternatus is being protected byGigantamax Sandaconda,Gigantamax Kingler,Gigantamax Orbeetle due to the interference of other nobles who are taking advantage of the chaos to demand the release of Sordward and Shielbert.
InCraaash!! Triple March, she contacted the nobles to try to persuade them to surrender to no avail due to their arrogance and stubborness. She later informed Casey that Henry started ascending towards Eternatus at the summit on the back of Zacian.
InFwoom!! Goodbye, Galar, after Eternatus had finally been defeated, Oleana and several Macro Cosmos's arrived to seal it back underneath the Energy Plant. Casey suggested that instead of keeping Eternatus locked up against its will, that they try to uncover a way for it to live in Galar peacefully which she agrees to do so.
