First appearing in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', he was the first [[wild Pokémon]] Ash caught when he threw a [[Poké Ball]] at a {{p|Caterpie}} he encountered in the [[Viridian Forest]].  Remarkably, he caught him without a [[Pokémon battle]], which [[Misty]] attributed to Caterpie's weakness. Caterpie was quite fond of Misty, but, much to Caterpie's misfortune, she wanted nothing to do with him because he was a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, which she fears.  The night after he was captured, Caterpie and [[Ash's Pikachu]] talked to each other, and Caterpie revealed his desire to evolve into a {{p|Butterfree}}. He then became very sad, as if he was not sure he could do it, but Pikachu encouraged him. He fell asleep next to Misty, who screamed at him the next morning for this and hurt his feelings.

In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Metapod was sent out in a battle against [[Samurai]], and managed to defeat his {{p|Pinsir}} despite only being able to use {{m|Harden}}. Samurai decided to send his own Metapod out against Ash's; neither could attack, and both had to sit stationary and keep hardening. This was interrupted by a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} that snatched Ash's Metapod away when he forgot to pick him up before running off. Ash felt guilty about this and became determined to get his Metapod back, finding him with a hive of {{p|Kakuna}}. The [[Team Rocket]] trio showed up and woke up the whole hive of Beedrill with their [[Team Rocket's mottos|motto]], giving Ash a chance to rescue his Metapod. He was unhappy with Ash, but the Trainer tried to make an excuse and claim he didn't abandon Metapod—however, when he tripped on a rock and dropped Metapod, Ash owned up to his mistake and swore to never leave his Pokémon behind again. Metapod was moved by this and, seeing a Beedrill about to attack Ash, leapt up and took the blow, breaking the Beedrill's stinger and getting a large gash in his shell. Metapod then evolved into Butterfree and stopped all the Beedrill with his {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack.

While he was with him, Butterfree was a close companion of Ash's who fought in many battles, including his battle against Misty at the [[Cerulean Gym]] during ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. He was notable for his courage, willingly taking on any foe and often proving himself to be much stronger than expected. In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', Ash used him in a battle against a [[Gentleman]] with a {{AP|Raticate}}, who afterwards asked to [[trade]] the Pokémon. Ash accepted, but found that Butterfree meant too much to him to keep the Raticate, and was so set on trading them back that he did it while the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] was sinking, causing him and his friends to be trapped inside.

Ash's Butterfree has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, ''[[Spurt!]]'', along with his mate, the [[Alternate coloration|pink]] Butterfree. However, he did not return in any episodes aired with the opening. Ash has, however, flashed back to having him several times.
