[[File:Brock Pineco.png|thumb|220px|left|As a Pineco]] | {{an|Brock}} caught Forretress as a {{p|Pineco}} near [[Azalea Town]]. Having earlier expressed that Pineco's violently unstable temper and tendency to explode was both cool and a true challenge for a Pokémon Breeder, Brock attempted to capture one. However, he tripped on a rock and headbutted the tree, frightening the Pineco so much that they all exploded. Brock got his chance later, when {{TRT}} was attempting to steal all of the Apricorns. The giant fan ended up blowing all of the Pineco out instead, and Brock managed to catch one in his arms before it hit the ground. However, the Pineco pried itself free and attacked Team Rocket, tackling the trio off their machine. It engaged in a battle against [[Jessie's Arbok]] alone, but could not match the powerful snake and began to flee. [[Maizie]] told Brock that he could capture the Pineco in the {{ball|Fast}}, which he did just as Arbok tackled, causing Arbok to crash into its Trainer. Once Pikachu drove Team Rocket away, Brock sent out Pineco and promised that they would be good friends. Pineco enthusiastically used Self-Destruct on its new friend. | ||

Forretress was seen quite regularly during the early Hoenn episodes, along with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. However, it was rarely used as Brock's battling Pokémon, once he acquired {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} and {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. He would send it out to use its Rapid Spin or Spikes to drive away hostile Pokémon or Team Rocket. It was used to battle [[James's Cacnea]] in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', but was defeated when the cheer squad, led by [[Sheridan]], cheated by having his {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Makuhita}} use {{m|Helping Hand}} on Cacnea. | Forretress was seen quite regularly during the early Hoenn episodes, along with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
