In the anime

Phanpy first appeared in Spell of the Unown, however, it was just a Pokémon that Molly Hale dreamed up and made real by the power of the Unown.

The first time a real Phanpy made an appearance was in EP230. The Long Nose Pokémon hatched from an Egg that Ash Ketchum recieved in EP228. Phanpy was the baby of Ash's team, but its power made up for lack of experience. Ash left Phanpy and the rest of his Pokémon (save for Pikachu) at Prof. Oak's lab when he set out for the Hoenn region. Ash's Phanpy made a return to his team and evolved into Donphan in AG154.
