Krabby's battling debut came in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', when Ash used it during the first round of the [[Pokémon League]] against [[Mandi]]. He reasoned that Krabby would be perfect for a battle on the Water field despite {{an|Misty}}'s protests that Ash should borrow one of her Pokémon as Krabby had never battled before. Ash retorted that he still had {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} as backups should Krabby fail. | Krabby's battling debut came in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', when Ash used it during the first round of the [[Pokémon League]] against [[Mandi]].

However, Krabby managed to escape and took control of the battle with {{m|Vice Grip}}. It avoided Exeggutor's {{m|Hypnosis}} and took victory with {{m|Leer}} and {{m|Stomp}}. The intensity of the battle caused it to evolve into a {{p|Kingler}}. It was able to finish the rest of the match single-handedly, defeating Mandi's {{p|Seadra}} by slowing it down with {{m|Bubble}} and then knocking it out with {{m|Crabhammer}}, and then taking out his {{p|Golbat}} with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. This was despite Misty and {{an|Brock}}'s real concerns about Kingler's ability to prevail against Seadra's speed and Golbat's air attacks. | ||

Ash also used Kingler in his battle on the Ice field in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', where Kingler defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} by hammering repeatedly on its shell with Crabhammer until it fainted. It then fought his {{p|Arcanine}}, but its Bubble was dodged by the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and then it was knocked out by {{m|Dragon Rage}}. | Ash also used Kingler in his battle on the Ice field in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', where Kingler defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} by hammering repeatedly on its shell with Crabhammer until it fainted.

Ash used Kingler in Johto during the [[Whirl Cup]] tournament in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', when Ash realized that he only had a single {{type|Water}} Pokémon, {{AP|Totodile}}. He sent {{AP|Bayleef}} to Oak's lab and Kingler joined his team. In the second round, after Totodile's loss to {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl|Politoed}}, Kingler knocked out Poliwhirl with a powerful one-two punch Crabhammer.

However, when Ash ordered it to use {{m|Vice Grip}} on {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, the pain gave Psyduck the ability to tap into its {{t|Psychic}} powers and defeat Kingler with a {{m|Confusion}} attack. Kingler was sent back to Oak's lab afterwards. | ||

In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', Ash planned to use Kingler in the Johto League [[Silver Conference]] against [[Macy]]'s array of Fire Pokémon, but it was injured while rescuing a trio of runaway {{p|Voltorb}}, who shocked Kingler when it caught them. Ash was later informed that Kingler would not be able to compete in the battle, but {{AP|Squirtle}} arrived in time to fill Kingler's spot. | In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', Ash planned to use Kingler in the Johto League [[Silver Conference]] against [[Macy]]'s array of Fire Pokémon, but it was injured while rescuing a trio of runaway {{p|Voltorb}}, who shocked Kingler when it caught them.
