=====Orange Islands=====

Ash began using Tauros when he needed a replacement for {{AP|Snorlax}} in his battle for the [[Winner's Cup]] of the [[Orange League]] in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. He sent the now-sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy he had used in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] with {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} would work again. Tauros seemed shocked but very pleased when Ash chose him.

In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tauros was reunited with the herd when Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to [[Pallet Town]].

=====Johto=====

In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Tauros crowded into Ash's screen with Kingler, Muk, and Snorlax to wish him luck for his next [[Gym]] battle with [[Whitney]].

In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', the Tauros herd made a cameo appearance, telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

On Ash's return from [[Hoenn]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were so pleased to see him that they got carried away and stampeded off with Ash on their backs, and Ash had to be retrieved by his {{AP|Bayleef}} before he could be reunited with his other Pokémon.  

Ash used Tauros in his battle against [[Anabel]] in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', first against her {{p|Alakazam}}. He went on an offensive charge, but was easily defeated by a combination of {{m|Focus Punch}} and {{m|Psybeam}}.

After training the next day—and being so spooked by a {{p|Beedrill}}'s {{m|Twineedle}} that he managed to hurl Ash, Anabel, Pikachu, and {{AP|Corphish}} flying into a lake—he was used in the [[rematch]] in ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''. Tauros took on Anabel's {{p|Metagross}}, matching brute force with brute force. The matchup eventually led to a collision of Take Down and {{m|Meteor Mash}}, which took out both Pokémon.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====

In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', the Tauros reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]], knocking him into the air out of excitement.

===Personality and characteristics===

[[File:Tauros Herd.png|thumb|220px|The Tauros stampeding]]

The Tauros' main characteristic is stampeding. Luckily, [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] includes large open plains, making it a perfect place for the Tauros to freely roam around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up [[Ash's Snorlax]] in times of crisis. However, their stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time {{Ash}} returned to [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', they stampeded through a fence and sent {{TRT}} blasting off. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall.

==Trivia==

* It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time.
