Several [[wild Pokémon]] had a recurring role in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==[[Original series]]==

===Fearow===

{{main|Ash's Fearow#In the anime|Ash's Fearow}}

{{p|Fearow}} debuted as a {{p|Spearow}} in the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]]. It attacked Ash and Pikachu after Ash threw a rock at it. Its second and final appearance was in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', where it was shown to have evolved into a Fearow. It battled against Ash's Pidgeotto, who soon evolved into a {{AP|Pidgeot}}. Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and he left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks. This Fearow was seen in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

===Ho-Oh===

{{main|Ho-Oh (anime)}}

{{p|Ho-Oh}} is the second recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, making three appearances.

After Ash and Pikachu were exhausted from fighting a flock of Spearow, Ash saw a glimpse of Ho-Oh flying over a rainbow. The [[Pokédex]] couldn't record the data of Ho-Oh, as it was unknown at the time. Since then, it would often fly around.

===Haunter===

{{main|Sabrina's Haunter}}

{{p|Haunter}} first appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. After {{Ash}} befriended it, he attempted to use it to battle [[Sabrina]], but Haunter decided to goof off. At the end of ''[[EP024|Haunter Versus Kadabra]]'', {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} decided to stay with Sabrina.

===Jigglypuff===

{{main|Jigglypuff (anime)}}

The fourth recurring wild Pokémon in the anime, and the one that made the most appearances, is {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

Jigglypuff is perhaps best known, however, for its running gag. Whenever it saw that its song put its listeners to sleep, it would inflate angrily, making a distinctive "honk" sound, then doodle over the faces of its audience with its marker.

===Clefairy===

{{anmov|normal|Double Slap|EP062|Clefairy Tales}}

{{anmov/f|normal}}

===Slowking===

{{main|Slowking (M02)}}

This {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Slowking}} lived on [[Shamouti Island]], and was the guardian of the shrine located there. He gave {{Ash}} advice on where to find the [[Ice Sphere]]. He later praised the [[Team Rocket trio]], upset that no one saw them being heroes, telling them that their heroic actions [[Breaking the fourth wall|did not go unnoticed]].

Slowking reappeared in [[Slowking's Day]].

===Lapras===
