Snivy debuted in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', where [[Professor Juniper]] gave it to [[Trip]] as his [[starter Pokémon]]. He was able to defeat [[Ash's Pikachu]] with {{m|Leaf Tornado}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} they had, due to Pikachu being unable to use {{type|Electric}} attacks at the time. Eventually, when {{Ash}} and Trip met again in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', his Snivy had evolved into Servine.

Snivy is featured as one of the starter Pokémon in Professor Juniper's lab. While talking on the phone to [[Fennel]], {{p|Tepig}} spilled some [[Berry Juice]] on Snivy, causing him to fight with [[Tep|Tepig]]. Eventually, Oshawott joined in on the commotion until the three starter Pokémon had managed to make a mess of her office, after which Juniper returned them to their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, commenting that she was worried that the three might be too much for their future Trainers. Snivy was given to {{adv|Cheren}} by {{adv|Bianca}} because she thought he resembled him. He first appeared in ''[[PS461|Fussing and Fighting]]''.

* Shortly after its release, much like many other [[Generation V]] Pokémon newly introduced, Snivy received the fan-made moniker, "Smugleaf". This name was picked up on and published in an article on the video gaming-focused blog [http://kotaku.com/5538319/pokemons-smugleaf-a-meme-in-the-making/ Kotaku] and later in an issue of [[Media:NZAU Magazine Scan.jpg|Official Nintendo Magazine Australia and New Zealand]], as well as its United Kingdom counterpart.

* Snivy is the only {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its [[regional Pokédex]], although it is still #001; this is because the {{p|Victini|Pokémon before it}} has a Pokédex number of #000. It is also the only Grass-type starter Pokémon that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in [[National Pokédex]] order.

* In {{g|Black and White}}, Snivy, along with {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}}, has the lowest [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, with a base value of 28. This was done specifically for the first two battles of the games, so the player's starter wouldn't level up after defeating [[Bianca]] and thus have a level advantage over [[Cheren]].
