Pokémon the Series
The Reveal Glass first appeared in Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!, where Team Rocket used Meloetta and its recorded song in order to open its seal inside the Abyssal Ruins. Giovanni then used it to summon and subsequently transform the forces of nature into their Therian Formes so that he could use them to take over Unova.
In Unova's Survival Crisis!, when Ash's Pikachu freed Meloetta and sent the Team Rocket members flying with a powered-up Electro Ball caused by excess energy he absorbed from Thundurus earlier, Giovanni was struck by a beam of light from the Reveal Glass, causing him to become overwhelmed by its power and send the Legendary Pokémon on a rampage to destroy the region instead. Giovanni was eventually released from its possession when Jessie, James, and Meowth pushed him out of the spell circle he had been standing in. Following Team Rocket's subsequent retreat, Ridley used the Reveal Glass and Meloetta's song to calm down the rampaging Legendary Pokémon. Afterwards, the Reveal Glass was sealed away once again.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
The Reveal Glass was first hinted at in The Power of Dreams, where Hood Man realized that the forces of nature needed a special mirror to unlock their alternate forms.
Team Plasma managed to obtain the Reveal Glass sometime before Legendary Tornadus, where a group of Team Plasma Grunts used it on Tornadus from a distance while attempting to capture Giallo.
The Reveal Glass made its first proper appearance in Colress Machine, where it was shown to be in Colress's possession, using it to transform Thundurus and Landorus into their Therian Formes to fight Blake.
In The Final Battle, Keldeo broke the Reveal Glass while trying to strike down Colress, causing the forces of nature to revert to their Incarnate Formes and allowing the Swords of Justice to defeat them.
Trivia
Origin
The Reveal Glass may be based on the Demon Detecting Mirror, an item in Chinese mythology that could reflect the true identity of a yaoguai. Its design is based on the colors of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus, with the Legends: Arceus design adding the colors of Enamorus.
