Pumpmon appeared in episode 33 of Digimon Adventure. He was with Gottsumon in Shibuya, and they were very enthusiastic to be there and play, instead of searching for the eighth child as Vamdemon ordered. After they tried to hide Yamato, Takeru and Gabumon from Vamdemon, Vamdemon seemingly kills them.

A it turns out, the duo hadn't died. They had faked their deaths and fled to the human world in which they spent 11 years partying. Gabumon winds up coming across them, enraging him as Yamato had cried over their deaths.

Ishida Yamato and Takaishi Takeru found Pumpmon and Gottsumon at the Main Street in Shibuya in Episode 44, "Pump and Gottsu are Shibuya-type Digimon", as they asked a woman what time it was, though she just ran from them. Pumpmon was mad about it but Gottsumon was just happy about how fun Shibuya was. Recognizing the two as Vamdemon's minions, Tunomon evolved into Gabumon and the group confronted the duo. However, they weren't searching for the eighth Chosen Child anymore because hanging out in Shibuya was more fun, which made them become "Shibuya-type Digimon". They left after explaining themselves, with Yamato, Takeru and Gabumon chasing them for ten minutes until they found them eating ice cream from a stand, enjoying an experience they couldn't have in the Digital World. Yamato called their attention and they ran away again. This time, the group found them looking at mirrors. Once again, Yamato called their attention and they ran away, and so they chased them for yet another ten minutes, though this time they stopped because they were too tired to continue. Surprisingly, who they found this time was Patamon and they chased him instead. Pumpmon and Gottsumon, confused at not being chased anymore, decided to wait and see what would happen. Vamdemon then appeared in front of them, who asked them if they had found the eighth Chosen Child, which they hadn't, and if so, why they didn't take the Crests off Yamato and Takeru. In fear, they faked that that was their plan.

Yamato, Takeru and Gabumon found Patamon in an empty lot. Patamon was still angry at Takeru, and Takeru asked for his forgiveness as he had been too harsh on him. Patamon also said sorry and they made up. Pumpmon and Gottsumon then arrived and ordered the Chosen Children to hand them their Tags and Crests, with their sudden change in personality confusing Yamato though Gabumon thought it was to be expected as they were Vamdemon's minions. Realizing there was no way out, Yamato decided to fight them.

Pumpmon, alongside Gottsumon, are the 49th obligatory boss of the game, fighting Gabumon and Patamon at the end of Episode 44, "Pump and Gottsu are Shibuya-type Digimon". He can deal damage to one Digimon and Shock with. Upon being defeated, they drop the Luck and Escape Master DigiPieces, the former of which increases item drop rate and the latter guarantees escape to the Digimon equipped with them.

After being defeated, they gave up because it was more fun to hang out in Shibuya than to fight the Chosen Children and they asked them to hang out with them. However, their joyous mood was broken as they felt Vamdemon coming. Indeed, he soon appeared, and asked them why they hadn't defeated the Chosen Children. Declaring them worthless, he killed both of them with a. Vamdemon decided to have the Chosen Children follow his minions, and his actions angered Yamato and saddened Takeru, who was also scared for their lives. To protect Takeru, Patamon regained the ability to evolve into Angemon. Recognizing Angemon as "the one who holds holy power", Vamdemon decided to retreat. Afterwards, Yamato recognized Pumpmon and Gottsumon as their friends despite how short the time they had together was. Yamato and Takeru then went back home, solemnly.
