First season (Digimon Adventure)
Garudamon first debuted when Myotismon made himself known to the DigiDestined. Biyomon, weakened from DemiDevimon's dart, was determined to protect Sora. Sora's refusal to allow her to fight made her realise that she did know what love was and that she felt it for Biyomon. This caused Sora's crest to glow and Birdramon to digivolve to Garudamon, who managed to stop Myotismon and to allow the DigiDestined to escape.

Garudamon was involved in several battles with Myotismon's henchmen and was involved in the final battle with the villain himself. Garudamon was also a needed ally in the fight against the Dark Masters Puppetmon and Piedmon, as well as Apocalymon.

Second season (Digimon Zero Two)
When Sora used the crest power to free the Sovereigns, Biyomon lost the power to become Garudamon. That was until three years later, on Christmas Day, Biyomon and the other old generation Digimon had that power restored to them by one of the DigiCores of Azulongmon. Garudamon, with Aquillamon and their human partners, when to Moscow to help the Russian DigiDestined with a swarm of Flymon and a stampede of Mammothmon.

But during the fight against SkullSatamon of the Daemon Corps, Garudamon and the other Ultimates were defeated and regressed due to the strain of their stay in the Real World for so long. Biyomon sacrificed her power again to energize Imperialdramon, allowing him to Mode Change to his Fighter Mode.
