Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated [[Ash's Treecko]] earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was  intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "{{m|Fury Swipes}}" and "{{m|Mega Kick}}".

Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s. In ''Mademoiselle Jessica'''s Contest debut, in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Seviper was Jessie's chosen Pokémon to enter the Contest, but miserably failed to pass the Appeal Round, as Jessie didn't prepare herself to the Contest, and ordered Seviper to use attacks that Seviper can't learn, such as {{m|Blaze Kick}}. She is then seen apologizing to it, meaning she does care about Seviper.

In ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', Seviper was used in a [[Double Battle]] along with [[James's Cacnea|Cacnea]] against [[Oscar and Andi]] and their {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Seviper ends up using Wrap on Cacnea, which causes Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks, sending {{TRT}} flying. Team Rocket later encounters Ash and May and agree to do a tag battle with them, with Ash using {{AP|Corphish}} and May using [[May's Skitty|Skitty]]. Cacnea and Corphish end up working well together and begin to get an advantage over the Seviper and Skitty. Jessie soon sends out Dustox to help win and the battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Meowth then takes the opportunity to try to capture Pikachu and has Seviper and Cacnea use Haze and {{m|Sandstorm}}. Pikachu is rescued and Team Rocket is sent blasting off.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine!]]'', Seviper was used to battle against [[Pike Queen Lucy]] and her Seviper. [[Barbara]] points out that Jessie's Seviper is weaker than Lucys, which infuriates Jessie and Seviper. Both Sevipers collide with their Poison Tails and true to Barbara's word, Lucy's Seviper's Poison Tail is more powerful and sends Jessie's Seviper flying. Lucy's Seviper finished it off with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, blasting Team Rocket off.

In the episode ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Jessilina decided to face {{an|Dawn}} to practice for the {{ci|Hearthome}} 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.

*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.  

* In the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub, some of the noises made by Satō are retained along with Sinterniklaas's voice. When {{TPCi}} took over the dub, they stopped retaining Satō's voice.
