==Biology==

Zangoose is bitter enemies with {{p|Seviper}}, which it has battled for many generations. Its claws are its best weapons and can be used for its former [[signature move]], {{m|Crush Claw}}. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands and savannas}}.

Zangoose debuted in ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', under the ownership of [[Nicholai]]. It battled {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Treecko}}, but suddenly, Zangoose noticed [[Jessie's Seviper]] and started to battle it instead. Ash, {{ashfr}}, and even {{TRT}} did not know what was going on, but it was Zangoose and {{p|Seviper}}'s natural rivalry that got the two fighting. They were suddenly knocked into a river and Seviper then used {{m|Poison Tail}}, knocking Zangoose unconscious. {{an|Brock}} nursed Zangoose back to health with herbal medicine and left it to rest. Later, Seviper reappeared and engaged it in {{pkmn|battle}} again. After a long and fierce battle, Zangoose finally knocked out the Fang Snake Pokémon with a {{m|Crush Claw}}.
