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. | 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.

Jessie used Arbok as her main battling Pokémon in [[Johto]], preferring it over {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and later {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. | |||
In ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]'', when Team Rocket stole a whistle from Arielle, Meowth blew it in the right note to cause Arbok to dance around and cry out in reaction. This gave Meowth a chance to command it to help capture a group of Ledyba from [[Arielle]] by having it dig underground and jump out in front of them for Meowth to throw a net on them and tie them in ropes. When they tried to escape, Arbok uses its tail to grab the ropes, but the Ladyba eventually escape and drag Arbok into Jessie's Lickitung and [[James' Victreebel]], who were attacking Ash, Misty, Brock, and Arielle. | |||

Arbok battled against their {{p|Hitmonlee}} and lost quickly to his {{m|Rolling Kick|kicking}} {{m|High Jump Kick|attacks}}. Wobbuffet was sent out afterwards and managed to defeat them with its {{m|Counter}} attack. | ||

[[File:Jessie Arbok James Weezing.png|thumb|left|200px|Arbok fighting alongside with Weezing]] | |||
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin With A View]]'', Jessie sent out Arbok alongside [[James's Weezing]] to battle {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s who approached them. Not long after being sent out, [[Team Magma]]'s {{p|Houndoom}} used {{m|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. | |||

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.

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 Koffing and James, were happily crying. It was also in this episode that it explained to Meowth along with James's Koffing "Pokémon do bad things because master bad. Pokémon not bad." This shows that while both it and Weezing deeply care for their trainers and always feel sad when seperated, they never view themselves as bad guys; they only carry out evil deeds out of orders from their trainers. 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. | ||
