Bridget received an Africpo from Professor Maple's lab. She then battled Ash's Pikachu and won. It evolved into Oasispo in Pocket Monsters! Dream of Light! Episode 13 during the battle with Ash's Vixleaf. Bridget later battles Ash in the Victory Road with it as a Desertperior.
From Pocket Monsters! Dream of Lights! Episode 10, Ash also has an Africpo where it originally belonged to another trainer, who dislikes weak Pokémon. He released it because it lost to a Darumakka, and Ash officially owns it. In Episode 102, after it defeated a group of Skunkuru owned by Team Plasma, it evolved into Oasispo and starts disobeying Ash. In Episode 108, it evolved into Desertperior while battling Team Plasma and still remains its bad behaviour until Episode 114, where it regains its loyalty to Ash.
