Zangoose debuted in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', under the ownership of [[Nicholai]]. It battled {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Treecko}}, but suddenly, Zangoose noticed [[Jessie's Seviper]] and started to battle it instead. Ash, {{ashfr}}, and even {{TRT}} did not know what was going on, but it was Zangoose and {{p|Seviper}}'s natural rivalry that got the two fighting.

In ''[[BW114|Saving Braviary!]]'', [[Schwarz and Weiss|Weiss]] sent out a Zangoose after he and Schwarz caught {{an|N}} getting away with an injured {{p|Braviary}}.

Zangoose is likely based on the {{wp|mongoose}}, a cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill {{wp|venomous snake}}s. It also bears a physical resemblance to the {{wp|Turkish Angora}} and {{wp|Persian cat}} breeds. The rivalry Zangoose shares with {{p|Seviper}} is based on the relationship both cats and mongooses have towards {{wp|snake}}s.
