Ash and his friends were camping on a [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]] beach, and Corphish was attacking them from underneath the sand. Eventually, his identity was revealed and Ash battled and caught him using his {{AP|Treecko}}. In the [[AG024|next episode]], when Corphish met the group's other Pokémon, he struggled to make friends, smacking the others to greet them and eating their food. Corphish later fell ill after eating some seaweed and rope and was carried to the [[Dewford Town]] [[Pokémon Center]] for treatment. The next morning he had recovered and was able to stop Team Rocket's plan. | ||
Corphish had his first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[AG031|Just One of the Geysers]]'' against [[Brawly]], where he was chosen to battle his {{p|Machop}}. Corphish won the round, though he later fell to {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}}. | |||
In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn!]]'', Ash selected Corphish to participate in his Gym battle against [[Flannery]], due to his type advantage over the [[Lavaridge Gym]]'s {{t|Fire}} Pokémon. Corphish took on Flannery's {{p|Magcargo}}, managing to overcome his opponent's defensive tactics such as {{m|Sandstorm}} and win the round. Later, after Treecko's failed attempt, Corphish was sent out to take on {{p|Slugma}}. However, Corphish had to be [[recall]]ed after Slugma used {{m|Yawn}} to put him to {{status|sleep}}. Ash then sent him out to battle Flannery's {{p|Torkoal}}, but he was still asleep and took several fiery hits as a result. Corphish woke up more persistent than ever, using {{m|Crabhammer}} to overcome Torkoal's {{m|Iron Defense}}. As Torkoal emerged dizzy from the blows, Corphish finished it off with {{m|Bubble Beam}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Heat}}. | In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn!]]'', Ash selected Corphish to participate in his Gym battle against [[Flannery]], due to his type advantage over the [[Lavaridge Gym]]'s {{t|Fire}} Pokémon.

In the [[Ever Grande Conference]], Corphish was used in several battles. He first teamed up with {{AP|Torkoal}} in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'' to battle [[Dominick]]. After Torkoal fainted, Corphish defeated {{p|Swalot}} alone, which he did by using Bubble Beam in Swalot's mouth. | In the [[Ever Grande Conference]], Corphish was used in several battles.

In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', Ash used Corphish as his fourth Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament. He went up against her {{p|Golduck}} on the water field, and despite getting {{status|confusion|confused}} by Golduck's {{m|Confusion}}, Corphish was more or less able to understand Ash's commands and defeat the Duck Pokémon. Corphish next went up against Katie's {{p|Venomoth}}, though Ash recalled him in favor of {{AP|Swellow}} to get the type advantage. He sent him back out later to take on Katie's last Pokémon, Walrein. Although now free from his confusion, Corphish's Bubble Beam wasn't enough to stop Walrein's powerful {{m|Body Slam}}, which knocked Corphish right out on impact. | In ''[[AG129|A Judgment Brawl]]'', Ash used Corphish as his fourth Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}} in the Victory Tournament.

Morrison was unable to control his emotions due to grief over being forced to battle his close friend, Ash, causing him to give Girafarig useless commands, thus allowing Corphish to trounce it. In the [[AG130|next episode]], Ash saved the motionless Morrison from being disqualified by convincing him to continue battling, and he reluctantly picked {{p|Growlithe}}. With the type advantage and Morrison continuing to make poor move choices, Corphish made quick work of Growlithe as well. Ash further tried to encourage Morrison out of his slump, and he finally got through to him. Morrison then sent out his {{p|Swampert}} and gave it much smarter commands, leading Corphish to tie with it. | ||
In ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]'', Ash used Corphish as his third Pokémon in his Full Battle against {{ho|Tyson}}, going up against {{p|Hariyama}}. After a short exchange of moves, Corphish's Crabhammer collided with Hariyama's {{m|Focus Punch}}, with the latter prevailing and knocking Corphish out in one shot. | |||

In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', he teamed up with {{p|Swellow}} to battle [[Tucker]] and his {{p|Arcanine}} and Swampert. Tucker took early control of the battle by canceling out Corphish and Swellow's attacks by making full use of Arcanine's superior speed and Swampert's defenses, then going on offense and having his Pokémon use tactful combinations, including a brutal water and fire fusion attack, all of which pushed Corphish and Swellow to their limits. However, Ash was clever enough to come up with strategies to circumvent all of Tucker's combinations, including having Corphish counter Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}} with Bubble Beam, creating a huge cloud of steam that allowed him and Swellow to blindside Arcanine and Swampert with powerful finishing moves, thus winning Ash the [[Tactics Symbol]]. | In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', he teamed up with {{p|Swellow}} to battle [[Tucker]] and his {{p|Arcanine}} and Swampert.

In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', he battled [[Anabel]]'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost. In the [[AG170|next episode]] however, he was able to beat Alakazam in a [[rematch]], only to be beaten by her {{p|Metagross}} shortly thereafter. | In ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'', he battled [[Anabel]]'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost.
