========
The Plasma Frigate debuted in Unforgettable Memories. It was created by Team Plasma to wage war on the Unova region after their defeat .
The Frigate was fully unveiled in Therian Forme III, where it was taken to the abandoned Cold Storage in Driftveil City, where Colress was battling against . Using his Colress Machine, Colress took control of the that Zinzolin had and had it enter a special chamber aboard the ship. Afterwards, Colress activated the Plasma Frigate's engines, allowing the ship to fly through the air. Although Blake successfully got on the ship's deck before it flew away, Colress decided to let him roam free.
In Frozen World, the Plasma Frigate was flown to Castelia City, where Colress attacked the city with the ship's Kyurem Cannon. The beam fired from the cannon froze the entire city and most of the people there in an instant. Shortly afterwards, Ghetsis spotted Rood, a traitor to Team Plasma, and ordered Colress to capture him. Colress reluctantly agreed, but ended up accidentally grabbing instead. After Rood escaped, Whitley was thrown into an empty cabin and held prisoner.
After Blake freed Whitley from the cabin, they teamed up to try and free Kyurem from the machine powering the Kyurem Cannon. Though they successfully destroyed the machine, they found out that Kyurem wasn't inside it. Colress appeared and revealed that they had already drained enough energy from Kyurem to power the ship and freeze all of Unova, so the machine's destruction was inconsequential to them. He then summoned Kyurem and had it Blake and Whitley, before telling some to throw the two into the ocean. Afterwards, Colress set off to freeze more of Unova's cities.
As of Pink Slip, the Plasma Frigate had successfully frozen over seven different populated areas across the Unova region.
In Giant Chasm, the Plasma Frigate arrived at the Giant Chasm after following Kyurem there, taking off again when Colress lost control of Kyurem and it started to threaten the flying ship. In The Final Battle, , , Alder, and Whitley confronted Ghetsis in a storage room full of Poké Balls containing the Pokémon "liberated" by Team Plasma. Willing to die rather than be arrested, Ghetsis triggered an explosion that tore the ship open, causing all the Poké Balls to fall out and the ship to fly out of control, which eventually led to it colliding into N's Castle and requiring all the Unova first partner Pokémon to combine their pledge moves to put our the resulting fire. Ghetsis was subsequently arrested by the International Police, which, combined with Blake arresting Colress, meant an end for Team Plasma.
