His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same "selling strategy" in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho, and also selling Magikarp disguised as a {{p|Feebas}} for a {{an|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which {{TRT}} stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket. | His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S.

He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. | He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

His latest appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him. | His latest appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''.

===Personality and charasteristics=== | |||
He is the main reason why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne, and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{jo|Benny}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode. | He is the main reason why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
