In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', ''Jessilina'' used Seviper in the Appeal Round. Not much of the Appeal was seen, because while Seviper was performing it, {{an|Dawn}} was thinking about her {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s Appeal, focusing the attention on her, not on Jessie. However, {{si|Kenny}} stated that Seviper was being quite good. The appeal ends with Jessie ordering Seviper to perform Wrap and Bite on Jessie herself, and thus, amazing the crowd.
In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', [[Jessilina]] used Seviper in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the {{to|Floaroma}} {{pkmn|Contest}}.

In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', ''Jessilina'' decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to "practice" for the [[Hearthome City]] Contest. However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and  {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and her idea was to make Dustox use {{m|Poison Sting}} and then to make Seviper use Poison Tail on Dustox's Poison Sting, making it spin and added extra-power to it. {{an|Brock}} even said that that was a smart combination. However, that didn't work as [[Zoey's Glameow]] countered with {{m|Iron Tail}}, making the combination going to other side around and then [[Zoey's Shellos]] used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of Poison Sting and Poison Tail. Seviper and Dustox both were then easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow.

Seviper made its final appearance in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' where it battled against Ash and his friends for the final time, but got knocked by {{AP|Torterra}}'s {{m|Energy Ball}} before getting blasted off with the rest of the team.


Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, Jessie was forced to leave Seviper at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native in the [[Unova]] region and thus would attract unwanted attention to the trio.

==Personality and characteristics==
From its debut Jessie's Seviper was shown to have a passion for battling. It quickly became Jessie's main battling Pokémon. It was also proven to be intelligent, outsmarting Team Rocket and not falling for their trap. It was also shown to be a mean and nasty Pokémon, which was why Jessie desired to catch it. Even though Seviper has been shown to care for Jessie, it did not hesitate from ignoring orders upon encountering wild Zangoose, a trait of most Seviper.

Ever since Jessie caught {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, Seviper wasn't seen in as many battles as before. However, it was also used as Team Rocket's escapist rogue to blanket the area in Haze, replacing [[James's Weezing]]'s duty to steal innocent Pokémon or other things under the shrouded premises.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In ''[[DP023|Faced with Steelix Determination!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Jessie's Seviper. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: あかいキバ わわるとアブネー ハブネーク ''The red fangs, it's dangerous to touch them; Habunake''.

*In Jessie's first encounter with Seviper, she was taller than Seviper. However, in more recent episodes, Seviper is much taller than her. This could be an error on the animator's part, or could just simply mean it has grown during its time under Jessie's ownership.
