At the beginning of Mewtwo Strikes Back, a pirate trainer by the name of Kezoki used a Venomoth to battle alongside his Golem and Pinsir. Kezoki's Golem, Pinsir and Venomoth fought Ash's Pikachu and were defeated afterwards.
Venomoth debuts in The Secret of Kangaskhan in the Red, Green & Blue where Green defeats a wild one but don't catches it because he already has one. This was the first Pokémon to be shown with a Pokédex entry.
Pokédex entry: The dust-like scales covering its wings are coloed coded to indicate the kinds of poison it has. It has a short life span, and appears to be the evolved form of a Venomat.
