In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Croagunk was briefly seen battling a {{p|Furret}} and a {{p|Hitmonchan}} alongside [[Holly]]'s {{p|Nosepass}} in the second round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance their Trainers to the semifinal round. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' he was used in the semi-finals, being paired off with Holly's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and was up against [[Ash's Staravia]] and [[Paul's Torterra]]. Paul showed total disregard for Ash, ordering Torterra to blast Farfetch'd with Hyper Beam, not caring that Staravia was hit as well. With Farfetch'd out, Croagunk challenged Torterra and managed to damage it with a powerful Brick Break to the head. Before Croagunk could follow up, Torterra recharged and hit Croagunk with Leaf Storm, winning the round single-handedly. | In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Croagunk was briefly seen battling a {{p|Furret}} and a {{p|Hitmonchan}} alongside [[Holly]]'s {{p|Nosepass}} in the second round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]].

In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', Croagunk protects Brock from a {{m|Dark Pulse}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]]. The two quickly gain a strong disliking of each other and begin fighting. The fight is ended prematurely when Saturn recalls {{p|Toxicroak}} so [[Team Galactic]] can escape. | In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', Croagunk protects Brock from a {{m|Dark Pulse}} launched by [[Saturn's Toxicroak]].

In ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'', Croagunk and Brock enter the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival]]. Croagunk initially enters the stage and has his physical condition judged alongside the other Croagunk, with the judges becoming impressed with Brock's Croagunk. The next part has Croagunk go through a brick-breaking contest, with he does flawlessly, allowing him to challenge the former champion, Craig. The two take to the boxing ring and begin the match and Craig quickly lands a powerful {{m|Cross Chop}} and follows up with {{m|Dynamic Punch}}. Croagunk dodges and lands multiple {{m|Poison Jab}} attacks against Craig. The two seem evenly matched but are interrupted by Team Rocket. The two Croagunk, alongside the rest of the participants, attack the mecha, only to be trapped inside. However, Nurse Joy and her Croagunk, Chrissy, stopped them with a {{m|Vacuum Wave}}. Chrissy's heroism led to the coronation of Nurse Joy and her Croagunk as champions of the festival, giving Brock's Croagunk an automatic disqualification. | In ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'', Croagunk and Brock enter the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival]].

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Brock begins flirting with a Nurse Joy, but after a few seconds feels that something is wrong and notices that Croagunk didn't stop him. He notices him instead staring out a window, causing Brock to worry over Croagunk's behavior. The reason is later revealed to be Croagunk sensing Saturn's Toxicroak with his {{a|Anticipation}} [[Ability]]. When it ends up getting close to Brock's location, Croagunk releases himself from his Poké Ball and runs off to find it and start a battle. Later on Croagunk is seen falling through the skylight and lands hard on the ground. Toxicroak follows and hits Croagunk dead-on with a Poison Jab, knocking him out while Brock watches helplessly on from the roof. | In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'', Brock begins flirting with a Nurse Joy, but after a few seconds feels that something is wrong and notices that Croagunk didn't stop him.

He is a very powerful Pokémon, as demonstrated in [[DP008|his debut episode]] where he beat many Trainers while he was under Jessie's command. He has since become Brock's main battling Pokémon and has proved his power again and again, even stopping a {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He has developed a rivalry with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Ash's Buizel]]. He also has an extreme rivalry with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], to the point of actually ignoring Brock's advances on women. | He is a very powerful Pokémon, as demonstrated in [[DP008|his debut episode]] where he beat many Trainers while he was under Jessie's command.

Croagunk often attacks Brock to keep him away from the girls who are the objects of his affection (similar to how [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] or [[Max (anime)|Max]] would pull him away by the ear), to the point that even Croagunk's presence can be sensed by Brock, which may make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances. When forcefully dragging Brock away from girls, he usually uses {{m|Poison Jab}}, which makes Brock suddenly collapse so Croagunk can easily drag Brock away. However, when Brock pledged to save [[Oralie]]'s {{p|Magikarp}} and [[Haley]]'s {{p|Feebas}} in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', Croagunk still jabbed Brock, which caused {{an|Dawn}} to remark that Croagunk may have gone too far. Croagunk generally chuckles or laughs after attacking Brock, so it is possible that he actually enjoys it. However, Croagunk has also protected Brock from harm, such as falling off a bridge in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and from Saturn's Toxicroak's {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''. According to the [[Pokétch]] in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Croagunk is [[friendship|very close]] to Brock. In fact, Croagunk is about as close to Brock as {{AP|Pikachu}} is to {{Ash}}, despite at the time having only been with him for two episodes, as opposed to Pikachu, which has been with Ash since [[EP001|the very first episode]]. | Croagunk often attacks Brock to keep him away from the girls who are the objects of his affection (similar to how [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] or [[Max (anime)|Max]] would pull him away by the ear), to the point that even Croagunk's presence can be sensed by Brock, which may make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances.

Croagunk generally chuckles or laughs after attacking Brock, so it is possible that he actually enjoys it. Croagunk also didn't mind having help in keeping Brock away from girls, as seen in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', when [[Noelle]]'s {{p|Bellossom}} {{m|Stun Spore}} his Trainer after he Poison Jab him. This was shown again in ''[[JN141|A Squad’s Worth of Passion!]]'', when Croagunk helped Misty drag Brock away, after he Poison Jab him.
