Arbok first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' as an {{p|Ekans}}. Throwing their [[Poké Ball]]s down from their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]], Jessie and [[James]] used both it and [[James's Koffing]] to quickly overtake the defenseless {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. Koffing's job was to create a {{m|SmokeScreen}} while Ekans destroyed the computers. Chasing everyone into the back room, Ekans scared away the Pokémon that were sent out by Ash, which causes {{an|Misty}} to decide to battle Team Rocket. This is a failed effort, however, as both of them manage to catch up to Ash in no time at all. Just then, [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} come out and healed [[Ash's Pikachu]] with a {{m|Thunder Shock}} attack, while at the same time attacking the [[Team Rocket trio]]. Giving Ash's Pikachu enough power to stand up, Ash charged-up Pikachu using Misty's charred bike, and he let him have his own Thunder Shock. As the group are being electrocuted, Koffing releases a stream of {{m|Smog}} from one of the craters on its body, and the electricity climbs up the toxic gas, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode, and sending Team Rocket blasting off.

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.

Jessie used Arbok as her main battling Pokémon in [[Johto]], preferring it over {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and later {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.

In ''[[EP173|Wobbu-Palooza!]]'', Arbok was used alongside {{TP|James|Victreebel}} to try to stop the [[Wobbuffet Festival crashers]], since everyone else refused to fight due to festival rules. Arbok battled against their {{p|Hitmonlee}} and lost quickly to his [[Rolling Kick|kicking]] [[High Jump Kick|attacks]]. Wobbuffet was sent out afterwards and managed to defeat them with its {{m|Counter}} attack.

In ''[[AG002|A Ruin With A View]]'', Jessie sent out Arbok alongside [[James's Weezing]] to battle [[Team Magma]] grunts who approached them. Not long after being sent out, Team Magma's Houndoom used Roar to send Arbok and Weezing back into their Poké Balls.

In ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'', {{TRT}} found a [[Rico|poacher]] holding a herd of Ekans and {{p|Koffing}} captive in [[Hoenn]]. After freeing them, James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Weezing and Arbok to stay in the wild and guard their fellow Pokémon. Arbok and Weezing had to when the poacher used his {{p|Tyranitar}} to attack Jessie, James, and {{MTR}}, even though it was clear that they wanted to stay and defend them. The two Pokémon have not been seen since then.
