The Devon Parts were first mentioned in Mowing Down Ludicolo, where Team Aqua succeeded in stealing them from Mr. Stone. After Team Magma later succeeded in stealing the Submarine Explorer 1, the two villainous teams formed a temporary alliance in order to safely reach Seafloor Cavern. When the parts stolen by Team Aqua were combined with the submarine stolen by Team Magma, the submersible became able to reach greater depths than usual, allowing it to reach Seafloor Cavern.
In Very Vexing Volbeat, after Amber had succeeded in stealing the Blue Orb from Tabitha and delivering it to Archie, the evil team boss trapped both Amber and Tabitha into the submarine and sent it diving into the ocean depths on autopilot. He then revealed that he had removed the Devon Parts from the submarine, dooming both men trapped inside it to die when the deep sea pressure would break the submarine's hull. Fortunately, the two Admins were saved from certain death by Blaise's Armaldo.
