In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Metapod was sent out in a battle against [[Samurai]]. Despite only being able to use {{m|Harden}}, it managed to defeat his {{p|Pinsir}} by solidifying so much that the Stag Beetle Pokémon's pincers broke. Samurai then decided to send his own Metapod out against Ash's; neither could attack, and both had to sit stationary and keep hardening. This was interrupted by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} that snatched Ash's Metapod away when he forgot to pick him up before running off. Ash felt guilty about this and became determined to get his Metapod back, finding him with a hive of {{p|Kakuna}}. {{TRT}} showed up and woke up the whole hive of Beedrill with their {{motto}}, giving Ash a chance to rescue his Metapod. He was unhappy with Ash, but the Trainer tried to make an excuse and claim he didn't abandon Metapod—however, when he tripped on a rock and dropped Metapod, Ash owned up to his mistake and swore to never leave his Pokémon behind again. Metapod was moved by this and, seeing a Beedrill about to attack Ash, leapt up and took the blow, breaking the Beedrill's stinger and getting a large gash in his shell. Metapod then evolved into Butterfree and stopped all the Beedrill with his {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack. | In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Metapod was sent out in a battle against [[Samurai]].

While he was with him, Butterfree was a close companion of Ash's who fought in many battles, although it did not have the battling pedigree of his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Most of its battles resulted in losses, including his battle against Misty at the [[Cerulean Gym]] during ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. Here, it managed to cripple her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} with {{m|Stun Spore}}, but Staryu recovered underwater. When Butterfree attempted a Sleep Powder, Staryu knocked Butterfree into the water with {{m|Tackle}}.

It also battled [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}} in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', but was knocked out by {{m|Dig}}. Ash took morbid offense at Sandshrew's ability to defeat the {{type|Flying}} with a {{type|Ground}} move (something not normally possible). Its third successive loss was in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', to a wild {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Bulbasaur used {{m|Whirlwind}} to send Butterfree's Sleep Powder back at it, deterring it long enough for Bulbasaur to escape. | It also battled [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}} in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'', but was knocked out by {{m|Dig}}.
