Pokémon the Series
Ramos debuted inThawing an Icy Panic!. He first appeared with hisGogoat, afterClemont accidentally broke the fence to hisGrass-type ranch. After an angryVanillish andVanilluxe created a snowstorm after hearingVanillite's wail, as it was captured byTeam Rocket, Ramos searchedCoumarine City for the cause. After Gogoat rescued Ash from Vanillish and Vanilluxe, he used hisJumpluff'sSunny Day to stop the snowstorm and then had multipleSunflora useSolar Beam to destroy the snow. Then, Vanillish and Vanilluxe, as well as Vanillite, were captured by Team Rocket's mecha mecha. As a result, Ramos used his Gogoat to destroy the mecha, assisted byAsh andhis friends' Pokémon. Afterwards, Ash and his friends' Pokémon sent Team Rocket blasting off, and the three captured Pokémon were rescued and went off happily. Later, Ramos went back to theCoumarine Gym, and Clemont correctly deduced that he was the Gym Leader.
Ramos had a three-on-threeGymbattle againstAsh inThe Green, Green Grass Types of Home! and lost. He reappeared inUnder the Pledging Tree!, where he told Ash and his friends about the annualCoumarine City Festival that was taking place.
Ramos appeared in a fantasy inA League of His Own!, when Ash was talking toEverett about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated inKalos, in order for him to be able to compete in theLumiose Conference.
InA Towering Takeover!, Ramos was seen in his Gym, watchingLysandre's broadcast fromLumiose City. InRocking Kalos Defenses! andForming a More Perfect Union!, Ramos and Gogoat were among those who helped destroy theGiant Rock.
Ramos reappeared in a flashback inTill We Compete Again!.
Character
Ramos enjoys a steady-paced life and he is often seen riding his faithfulGogoat. Ramos runs a Pokémon ranch on the outskirts ofCoumarine City, where he raises and studiesGrass Pokémon. In hisdebut, Ramos lecturedAsh on the importance of not only facing challenges head-on, but sometimes taking the "side road" as well. He demonstrated this by usingJumpluff andSunflora to melt the snow rather than attackVanillish andVanilluxe, and later by usingGogoat's attacks to immobilizeTeam Rocket's machine rather than trying to immediately destroy it. InThe Green, Green Grass Types of Home!, Ramos relied on overpowering attacks and his team's defenses in his Gym battle againstAsh, though he ultimately lost.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Ramos debuted inPyroar Breathes. He, the other Kalos Gym Leaders,Y,Trevor,Tierno, andShauna traveled toGeosenge Town to confrontTeam Flare. Shortly after they arrived, the group witnessed theultimate weapon emerging from underground like a flower bud. To prevent the weapon from blooming, the Gym Leaders and Y used their bodies to keep the petals in place by force, but were met with interference byBryony.
The ultimate weapon eventually fired anyway, but the combined efforts of the Gym Leaders and their allies successfully weakened the weapon enough to make it unable to take any innocent lives. Using her newly-obtainedXerneas,Xerxer, Y tried to destroy the ultimate weapon, but was interrupted byMalva and herYveltal. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched,Xerosic announced thatLysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.
InPinsir Glares, Ramos met withX and his friends at theLost Hotel. He revealed that Team Flare blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and theVaniville children. X and his friends were advised to keep out of the public's eye while the Gym Leaders helped rebuild the damaged areas. InXerneas Gives, Ramos,Grant,Valerie,Olympia, andWulfric helped stop Team Flare's attempt to reactivate the ultimate weapon by defeating a group of Grunts that were stationed aroundCyllage City. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Ramos and his allies met with X and his friends atLumiose City to congratulate them on their victory.
Ramos claims to have 50 years of gardening experience. He has also read aPokémon battling encyclopedia and thus managed a brief conversation with Bryony when she mentions the page numbers documentingMr. Mime's air-solidifying tactic.
