Anime

Mesozoic Meltdown

Sheer first used Yangchuanosaurus in There's No Place Like Rome to intercept the D-Team and Sophia in an alley. After capturing Sophia, Sheer gave "Yang" its Spectral Armor form against Chomp, easily knocking him into a wall. Even when Ace was summoned, they didn't stand a chance, but when they used Thunder Storm Bazooka, Sheer recalled it before the attack hit.

Later that same episode, she summoned and armored Yang again in the Coliseum beside Spiny to attack Spartacus and get the Yellow Cosmos Stone in his sword; its Fire Element and Spectral Armor blocked the Cosmos Stone's Lightning-based attack. After Spiny was recalled by the Alpha Gang, Spartacus' powered-up sword broke on Yang's armor, but as Yang closed in, Chomp knocked it away with Lightning Strike. Yang used Venom Fang, calling Piatnitzkysaurus to attack Chomp while Ace and Paris were summoned to battle Yang. Although Chomp beat Piatnitzkysaurus with Thunder Bazooka, Yang easily defeated Ace and Paris with Burning Dash. Fortunately, Dr. Z arrived just in time…to get grabbed up by Yang and hastily tell Max how to use his new Element Booster, which gave Chomp his DinoTector Armor, allowing Chomp to fight back on Yang's level and defeat it with Ultimate Thunder. Its card was then reclaimed by Max.

Later on in the series, Max saw a pack of recolored wild Yangchuanosaurus walking up a hill in the Jurassic Period. The pack was seen again running back down the hill from a forest fire that was caused by Gigas' Magma Blaster.
