Haxorus, as an Axew, was the first Pokémon that Iris was known to have obtained. She obtained Axew from the elder of her hometown when he was just a few days old. She was given the task of journeying with Axew in order to help raise him into a great Haxorus. Before he evolved, he preferred being outside of his Poké Ball, traveling inside Iris's long hair.
Power Rangers Forever: Galar Arc[]
During Iris's travels after parting ways with Ash, Axew eventually evolved all the way into a Haxorus, like he had always dreamed of doing. As later revealed by Iris, Haxorus was the Pokémon responsible for winning the battle that won her the title of Unova Champion.
In Thrash of the Titans!, Haxorus was sent out against Ash's Dracovish during Iris's World Coronation Series battle against her former traveling companion. After Haxorus successfully defeated Dracovish, it went up against Ash's Dragonite. During the match, Ash used Dragonite's Hurricane to redirect Haxorus's Dragon Pulse into the sky and reformed it into Draco Meteor, which is then used to defeat Haxorus, giving Ash the victory.
In The Fiery Road to Mastership!, Haxorus was Iris’s third Pokémon in her Masters Eight Tournament match against Cynthia. He first battled against Milotic, breaking through its attacks with brute force and knocking it out. He then had a rematch against Garchomp, now facing her on an equal footing. The two traded multiple blows, after which Cynthia decided to Mega Evolve Garchomp. Due to this increase in strength, Garchomp was able to defeat Haxorus, eliminating Iris from the tournament.

Personality[]
As an Axew, he proved to be a friendly Pokémon, making quick friends with Ash's Pikachu in Enter Iris and Axew! and later with other Pokémon. He and Iris have a strong relationship, as seen in A Sandile Gusher of Change!, after a Sandile had caught him in his jaws, Iris tried everything to get him out. This was also seen in BWS02, when Iris kept trying to shake her Gible, who had been wild at the time, off of Axew when he kept biting on his head, which happened twice.
Though lacking superior battle skills, Axew makes up for it with a kind personality as mentioned by Cilan. If Iris feels sad, he will go off to collect fruit in order to cheer her up. Axew is also somewhat of a pacifist and often hides or panics when the other Pokémon who accompany him start to fight each other as seen in Emolga and the New Volt Switch!, when he was seen running around in circles when Oshawott, Tepig, Scraggy, and Swadloon started fighting over food. However, he has been shown to have some childish traits, such as in Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!, where he fought with Pikachu when he thought Pikachu was the one who ate all the food.
Axew will often express concern for other Pokémon. In Emolga the Irresistible!, he was grateful when an Emolga stopped his apple from rolling down a hill and wanted to share some of it with her. When she left after being smothered by Bianca, he was desperate to find her again. However, this could be because Axew has a little crush on Emolga, as confirmed by Iris in the same episode.
Axew also seems to see Scraggy as a little brother, since Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild! when Iris told him he was Scraggy's big brother. Since then, Axew always had kept a close eye on Scraggy to keep him out of trouble, and the two have become training partners, and best friends, most likely due to the fact that they're the youngest. In Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita! he was horrified that he might never see him again if Scraggy was given to Katharine, even having a nightmare about it.
It is unknown whether he still holds on to these traits after his evolution, although he seems more serious. Evolution also made Haxorus much more powerful, strong enough to stand toe to toe with Champion-level opponents.
