Pokémon the Series: Sun and Moon
Plumeria debuted inThat's Some Spicy Island Research!, where she confrontedTeam Skull GruntsTupp,Zipp, andRapp atPoni Beach following their defeat at the hands ofHapu. Plumeria wasn't pleased that they weren't following her orders to capture a group ofOricorio and made them leave with her.
InThe Dealer of Destruction!, Plumeria arrived at theShady House alongside Guzma. Upon learning from the Team Skull Grunts aboutProfessor Kukui's announcement of the first-everAlola League, she visitedMelemele Island'sPokémon School alongside Guzma, Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp. Plumeria watched as Guzma confronted Professor Kukui and then battledAsh. After the battle prematurely ended withGolisopod activatingEmergency Exit, Plumeria suggested that Ash joinTeam Skull, which he refused to do. Back at the Shady House, she informed Tupp that Guzma was planning the destruction of the Alola League.
InLeague Offenders and Defenders!, Plumeria arrived to see Tupp, Zipp, and Rapp being confronted by Ash andHau. She also witnessed Guzma's confrontation with Professor Kukui. Plumeria was later seen among the crowd of competitors preparing to join the Alola League.
InBattle Royal 151!, Plumeria participated in theManalo Conference, where she focused all of her attention onIlima, the crowd favorite who was expected to win the Alola League. Using herSalazzle in theBattle Royal preliminary round, Plumeria battled Ilima and hisEevee after they had defeated the participating Team Skull Grunts. Although Plumeria was defeated herself, she managed to seriously injure Eevee, thus accomplishing what she had set out to do in the first place.
InThe Road to The Semifinals!, Plumeria supported Guzma during his battle againstLana, standing alongside Tupp, Zipp, Rapp, and the other Team Skull Grunts as they cheered him on. InThe Final Four!, she spoke to Guzma prior to his battle against Ash, advising him not to let his guard down, only to be brushed off by Guzma. InGetting Down to The Ire! andThe Wisdom Not to Run!, Plumeria watched Guzma's battle against Ash and comforted him following his loss. When Guzma announced that he would disband Team Skull, Plumeria stood with the Grunts in support of him, encouraging him to continue training with them.

Character
Plumeria is respected and equally feared by the Team Skull Grunts. Much like in thegames, Plumeria is referred to as "Big Sis" by them. She particularly dislikes disobedient or reckless Grunts likeTupp and his followers. Plumeria is also tactical and will order a withdrawal if the situation is not going in Team Skull's favor, as seen inThat's Some Spicy Island Research!.
While she is quiet about her own past, Plumeria is aware ofGuzma's own history and aggression towardsProfessor Kukui. When Guzma was prepared to disband Team Skull following hisManalo Conference defeat byAsh inThe Wisdom Not to Run!, Plumeria reassured him that he pushed himself beyond his limits and performed extraordinarily well, despite the losing result.

Pokémon Adventures
Plumeria debuted inFlash and Cosmog's Secret, where she attackedGladion after he arrived inPo Town in order to see if he was skilled enough to be Team Skull's Enforcer. Though Gladion proved himself, his negative attitude annoyed Plumeria, who refused to accept him as a true member of Team Skull.
InA Raid and Po Town, Po Town was infiltrated by five of Alola'sTrial Captains andHau. Their presence alerted Plumeria andGuzma, who demanded to know why their base was being invaded. When the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned aPheromosa,Celesteela, andGuzzlord and had them attack the Captains and Hau, who were completely outmatched by the rampaging beasts. Annoyed the Captains were still fighting, Guzma used aCosmog and had it open more wormholes to summon more beasts. Gladion appeared and battled the beasts Guzma summoned with hisType: Null. Gladion also revealed theAether Foundation's president,Lusamine, was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. To Plumeria and Guzma's surprise, aXurkitree appeared from a wormhole and attacked them, knocking Plumeria unconscious.
InBattle in Vast Poni Canyon, Plumeria confrontedFaba atVast Poni Canyon, demanding that he tell her where Guzma was taken to after he was kidnapped by aNihilego that appeared from a wormhole. When Faba tried to feign ignorance, Plumeria revealed she had aCosmoem that evolved from the Cosmog Guzma received from the Aether Foundation. Faba tried to take Cosmoem by attacking Plumeria, but hisHypno was defeated by herSalazzle. Immediately after,Moon andAnabel, a member of theInternational Police, arrived. Faba, worried that his plans could be jeopardized, had theAether Foundation Employees with him battle Moon and Anabel as a distraction. During the commotion, Cosmoem flew out of Plumeria's hands and into the air, where it encounteredNebby. While Faba chased after the two Cosmoem, Plumeria, Moon, and Anabel traveled by air and secretly followed his movements. Near thePoni Altar, Faba revealed he knew he was being followed and attacked his pursuers. While Moon and Anabel dealt with the Employees, Faba told Plumeria that he help her find Guzma if she assisted him in taking over the Aether Foundation.
Six months later, Faba had successfully taken over the Aether Foundation, running it like a dictatorship. Later, Faba was informed by an Employee that Lusamine had returned to Alola after going intoUltra Space. Worried that Lusamine may have successfully capturedNecrozma, Faba requested Plumeria help him fight her. Disguised as Moon, Plumeria was sent toMount Lanakila in order to assassinate Lusamine with poison arrows, but her attempts were blocked byLillie,Sina, andDexio. Once Lillie contacted Guzma and convinced Plumeria that he was safe, she stopped her attack.
