It was mentioned in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' that Jessie received Ekans as a [[birthday]] present (for {{wp|chūgen}} in the original Japanese version) before she met {{Ash}}. It is unknown who it was a gift from.

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 Ash, {{an|Misty}} and [[Nurse Joy]], Ekans scared away the Pokémon that were sent out by Ash, which caused Misty to decide to battle {{TRT}}. This was a failed effort, however, as both of them managed 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 were being electrocuted, Koffing released a stream of {{m|Smog}} from one of the craters on its body, and the electricity climbed up the toxic gas, causing the entire Pokémon Center to explode, and sending Team Rocket blasting off.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Jessie used Arbok during the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]]. Arbok helps Jessie make it up to the finals, but ultimately fails against Pikachu's {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

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.

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.

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 {{m|Rolling Kick|kicking}} {{m|High Jump Kick|attacks}}. Wobbuffet was sent out afterwards and managed to defeat them with its {{m|Counter}} attack.
