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}}". | Jessie caught Seviper in ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor.

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. | Seviper has also entered a few {{Pkmn|Contest}}s.

However, it was [[Zoey]] who accepted the challenge. Jessie used the combination of Seviper and 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 adding 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 go to the other side. [[Zoey's Shellos]] then used {{m|Mud Bomb}}, breaking the combination of Poison Sting and Poison Tail. Seviper and Dustox were then both easily defeated by Zoey's Glameow. | ||

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. | From its debut Jessie's Seviper was shown to have a passion for battling.
