Snivy debuted in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]''. She was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom she had deemed unworthy of having her, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill for a [[wild Pokémon]], evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using the cover of her {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to catch her.

Ash was able to catch Snivy when he won her respect and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill but of unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Tepig}} all succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, his {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and thus immune to Snivy's Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. Though she initially struggled in her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], the use of Attract predominantly paved the way to a surprise victory against her evolved form. Later on, she was called upon as Ash's last Pokémon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}} after his swift defeat of Pidove, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's [[Ability]], {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both females, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris's Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine#Gothita|Katharine's Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with {{p|Excadrill}}'s {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Driftveil Gym]] battle against [[Clay]], she went up against his {{p|Palpitoad}}, since she was strong against both {{type|Water}} and {{type|Ground}}, Snivy opened with Attract to infatuate Clay's Palpitoad, which worked as he was male; she then quickly defeated her defenseless opponent with a barrage of doubly super-effective hits from Vine Whip, Leaf Blade, and finally Leaf Storm. The use of Attract annoyed Clay, who denounced Ash's strategy as "unfair" since it wasn't an upfront assault. In response, he used his most powerful Pokémon, his {{TP|Clay|Excadrill}}. Snivy used Vine Whip, but this was blocked by Excadrill's {{m|Rapid Spin}}. Her Leaf Blade, Attract and even her Leaf Storm attacks were all countered in the same way, causing Excadrill's Rapid Spin to hit Snivy. The Subterrene Pokémon then used its [[one-hit knockout move]], {{m|Horn Drill}}, to defeat Snivy.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraged him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend her friend's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents' attacks, they began to team up against her, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

In ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', after Iris, Emolga, and Snivy were insulted by the Flower Garden Troupe, a trio of performers who prized beauty in themselves and their Pokémon above all else, Iris forced Ash and Cilan to dress up as women so that they could confront the Troupe in a battle. In the final confrontation with Troupe leader [[Moira]], Iris asked Ash to let her use Snivy against Moira's {{p|Cinccino}}, 'Cinccinotte,', with Snivy's Leaf Storm cleaning off the oil that Moira used to protect Cinccinotte from getting dirty.
