In the movie
The PCL appeared in POKÉMON Detective Pikachu. It was where a team of scientists led by Dr. Ann Laurent conducted experiments on Pokémon evolution. Among the projects seen at the lab were experiments meant to enhance the strength of Greninja and create giant Torterra. Most notably, Mewtwo was imprisoned at the laboratory after Harry Goodman helped track it down at the behest of Howard Clifford. However, Harry learned the truth about Howard's plans for Mewtwo and the chemical R created from its DNA, and assisted it in escaping. Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory during its escape, leading to it being sealed off as a hazardous site.
Later, while investigating Harry's disappearance, Tim Goodman and Lucy Stevens broke into the abandoned laboratory. They found the Greninja and Torterra still present in the facility, as well as records of Laurent's work on R and a neural link device. Unbeknownst to them, they were being monitored by Ms. Norman, who was in the guise of Howard's son Roger. She released the Greninja to drive them away.
