In ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', Red returns to Professor Oak's lab in order to find a way into [[Saffron City]]. The professor starts attacking and in response Red releases Saur to restrain Professor Oak with Vine Whip, but Professor Oak surprises them by exhibiting signs of Psychic power, and attacking Saur with a {{m|Psybeam}}. Recognizing the handiwork of a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, Red orders a {{m|Leech Seed}} from Saur, and as the "Professor's" energy is drained away it reveals itself as a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, which had been using its illusionary {{m|Hypnosis}} powers on [[Sabrina]]'s command. As the Gym Leader herself appears, she graces Red with a warning before teleporting away. Before she teleports Saur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but it goes right through Sabrina without doing anything to her. Saur later battled [[Lt. Surge]] and {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Zapdos}} in ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]''. Saur's attempts to fight back with Razor Leaf seem hopeless until Red has Saur redirect the leaves it scattered from his Razor Leaf at Lt. Surge and Zapdos. The attack not only severs the wires directing Zapdos's electric power away from Surge, but also ruptures the Gym Leader's insulated suit, giving him a crippling dose of Zapdos's electricity that promptly knocks him out cold.

In ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'', Saur, [[Blue's Charizard]], and [[Blasty]] battle against the {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|merged version}} of Zapdos, {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}}, and {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Articuno}}. During the attack Saur evolves into Venusaur, which tips the scales of the battle towards the three starters' favor, and eventually defeats Sabrina and also separates the conjoined [[Legendary Pokémon]].

In ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', Saur is Red's first Pokémon used in Red's battle against Blue and his Charizard in the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]]. Blue orders a {{m|Fire Spin}} that Saur barely dodges, but as Charizard lunges in for a follow-up attack Saur surprises him with a burst of {{m|Poison Powder}}. Red follows with a Razor Leaf that Blue is forced to assist his addled Charizard in dodging, before switching for [[Snor]] to continue. Saur is later sent back out against Charizard. Following [[Poli]] and [[Pika]], he was able to defeat Charizard by using the thundercloud created by his teammates in conjunction with his Vine Whip acting as a lightning rod.

In ''[[PS268|Return to Pallet Town]]'', Saur battled alongside Blue's Charizard against {{adv|Deoxys|Organism No. 1}}. Due to Organism No. 1's impressive speed, neither of them were able to land an attack before the DNA Pokémon fled.

In the [[Sevii Islands]] during ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Saur learned the move exclusive to the {{type|Grass}} starter families, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, after training on [[Ultima]]'s Jump Path, Catch Path, and Battle Path courses. Afterwards, the two boys' inability to perfect their respective move's accuracy would come to haunt them in the battle against [[Sird]], [[Carr]], and [[Orm]]. [[PS279|When]] Organism No. 2 appeared, Saur nearly died shielding Red from the fearsome Pokémon's {{m|Psycho Boost}} attack.

Saur still managed to gather the strength to fight and participated in the battle on [[Trainer Tower]] in ''[[PS286|Meet Deoxys, and Deoxys, and Deoxys, and...]]'' against Organism No. 2's clones. Saur [[PS288|then]] agreed to be traded to Blue again to allow Red to {{m|Fly}} on Charizard and defeat the evil leader. After Giovanni's defeat, Saur was traded back to his original owner, but the two [[PS302|soon]] found themselves petrified by Sird with the four other [[Pokédex holder]]s and their Pokémon.
