Although Arbok lost nearly every battle, as is traditional for Pokémon owned by Team Rocket, it has occasionally been shown to have extraordinary power and endurance to match its massive size. For example, in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Arbok was able to single handedly battle Horsea, Starmie, Squirtle and Seaking underwater (where water Pokémon have the advantage) without the help of Weezing, enduring a huge amount of offense and eventually cornering all its opponents for the victory before Seel evolved into Dewgong and defeated it with Ice Beam. | Although Arbok lost nearly every battle, as is traditional for Pokémon owned by Team Rocket, it has occasionally been shown to have extraordinary power and endurance to match its massive size.

Arbok and Weezing seem to be both very emotional. This was first shown in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', where they got very sad for being separated from Jessie and James, crying desperately, with {{AP|Pikachu}} trying to cheer them up. At the end of the episode, when every lost Pokémon got reunited with their partners, Ekans and Jessie, along with James and Koffing, were happily crying, while Ash was only smiling with Pikachu, which may mean that Jessie's bond with Arbok was stronger than Ash's bond with Pikachu. It was also in this episode that it explained to {{MTR}} along with James's Koffing "Pokémon do bad things because master bad. Pokémon not bad." In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quacktion]]'' both Arbok and Weezing got depressed for being rejected as the main characters in the movie. It was only with Jessie's and James's help that they got over it. On their last appearance, in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', they were reluctant in leaving Jessie and James, and when they did, they strongly cried. | |||
