===In Pokémon Origins===

The Silph Scope made an appearance in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. It was possessed by a small group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who were holding [[Mr. Fuji]] captive at the Pokémon Tower. Like in the games, the Silph Scope had the ability to unveil the true identity of both {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and {{OBP|ghost|literal|real ghosts}}. The Silph Scope was later stolen from the Grunts by {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who then gave it to {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, allowing him to identify the ghost he was fighting as {{p|Cubone}}'s dead mother, {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}. Afterwards, Red returned the Silph Scope to the Rocket Grunts, who presumably took it with themselves as they left after being defeated by Red in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

The Silph Scope has made several appearances in [[Pokémon Adventures]], under the ownership of {{adv|Green}}. Unlike a regular Silph Scope, Green has modified her Silph Scope to be able to reveal all invisible Pokémon. It made its debut in ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', where Green used it and a data disc she had stolen from Team Rocket to locate and identify {{adv|Mew}}. [[PS027|Later in the chapter]], she used it to examine the {{m|barrier}} over [[Saffron City]]. [[PS030|During]] her battle against [[Sabrina]] at [[Silph Co.]], she was seen using the Silph Scope to see through her {{p|Horsea}}'s {{m|Smokescreen}}.

During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, when {{adv|Deoxys|a mysterious Pokémon}} attacked Green aboard the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]], she used the Scope to unveil it, although she couldn't recognize it. {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} later recovered the Silph Scope, and although they didn't recognize the mysterious Pokémon at the time either, the recording on the Scope served as their first glimpse of it.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===

The Silph Scope was seen in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]''. After {{Zensho|Satoshi}} had been scared away from the [[Pokémon Tower]] by a {{p|Gastly}}, he saw several {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s exciting the Tower, using a Silph Scope to avoid being scared by the ghosts. Satoshi then secretly followed the Grunts to the [[Rocket Hideout]], where he snatched one of the Scopes that were in there. Using the Scope, he was able to get past of the ghosts in the Tower and all the way to the top floor, where he encountered [[Mr. Fuji]], who was being held captive by Team Rocket.

* In [[Generation I]], if the player uses a [[Poké Doll]] to flee from the [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]], it will disappear as if it had been defeated. This allows the player to proceed in the games' story without obtaining the Silph Scope (making battling the [[Rocket Hideout]] unnecessary).

* In [[Generation I]], if the player views the status screen of a Pokémon, the ghost's sprite will change to that of the actual Pokémon. However, it still cannot be battled or caught.
