This '''Snivy''' is a {{type|Grass}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (creature)|Pokémon]] owned by [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]. She is the fourth Pokémon that Ash obtained in [[Unova]] and also one of the three Unova starters.
  +
  +
==Personality==
  +
Snivy is a proud and seductive Pokémon, and she also has a great observation. Furthermore, she has a sense of justice. When [[Iris' Emolga]] is causing mischief among Ash's Pokémon, she always mercilessly exposes Emolga's mischievous behavior by bringing her with her Vine Whip and to show it to Ash and his friends that she was responsible for stealing their apples, which makes Emolga angrily fed up, creating their heated rivalry.
  +
  +
Their heated rivalry is later demonstrated in ''[[BW141: Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!|Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!]]'', where Snivy was surprised to see Emolga was briefly recruited by Team Rocket and becomes furious when she thwarted her attempt to kidnap [[Iris' Axew]] by using her Vine Whip causing both of them to have a fight and they are mostly seen arguing each other during the fight which Meowth could not translate their language due to their bickering. Their fight is similar to [[Ash's Corphish]] and [[May's Blaziken (anime)|May's Torchic]] when they fight.
  +
  +
Even though she barely shows her emotions, she cares deeply for her friends. Still, she dislikes Trainers who don't fit her expectations, especially those who are selfish, which was a reason why she had left her former Trainer. This also happens in ''Evolution by Fire!'', in which Snivy dislikes Shamus for abandoning Tepig and his cruelty behavior which she convinces Tepig to fight his former trainer, even though he keeps his loyalty to him.
  +
  +
Snivy is also a risk taker like [[Ash's Boldore]] where she nearly sacrificed her life by tackling Tepig from getting a direct hit much like Boldore did to [[Cilan's Crustle]] and she is also the main reason for Tepig to regain composure and his evolution to Pignite to gain his confidence in fighting.
  +
  +
In ''[[BW057: Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy also dislikes [[Katharine's Gothita]]'s bratty and demanding behavior when she takes a liking to [[Ash's Scraggy]] and her actions to other Pokémon. After she defeats her in battle, Snivy humiliates it by showing her beauty streak towards her.
  +
  +
She is also had a behavior of a femme fatale when using her Attract against male Pokémon which she demonstrated this to Pikachu, Oshawott and Tepig when Ash attempted to capture her. But it didn't affect [[Ash's Unfezant|Pidove]] due to both having the same gender, making her felt desperate to fight.
  +
  +
Just like [[Ash's Sceptile|Sceptile]], [[Ash's Buizel|Buizel]], [[Ash's Hawlucha|Hawlucha]], and [[Ash's Greninja|Greninja]], Snivy is very cool, calm, collected and serious.

[[File:BW007 10.jpg|thumb|Snivy joining Ash's team.]]
[[File:Snivy(pokemon_anime).jpg|thumb|right|200px|Snivy's debut appearance.]]Snivy first appeared in [[BW007: Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]], where it was caught by Ash and the gang stealing food from them. [[Iris (anime)|Iris]] and [[Cilan (anime)|Cilan]] believe that she deemed her Trainer unworthy of her and so abandoned them, after they witnessed her high-level attacks. Ash then chased after Snivy through all of the episode, using each member of his team in turn to battle her, however the majority of his team ([[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]] and [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]]) were affected by Snivy's [[Attract]], forcing Ash to recall each of them. It wasn't until [[Ash's Unfezant|Pidove]] offered to battle did Ash manage to hold his own Snivy, as her Attract had no effect on Pidove (due to her also being female, something Ash was not aware of until this point). Snivy may have broken out of the Pokeball and fought back, but she decided that Ash was a worthy trainer and allowed Ash to catch her.

Snivy broke out of the first Poké Ball attempt and fought back, but she decided that Ash was a worthy trainer and allowed Ash to catch her.<ref name="BW007">[[BW007: Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]</ref>
   
  +
Snivy is used to fight a wild Gothitelle which is owned by Sally, the daughter of the Water Taxi Captain in the episode ''The Lost World of Gothitelle!'' when it manages to send Ash, Cilan and Iris to the lost world. Snivy becomes seriously desperate to fight until it was later interrupted by a present Sally whom she recognizes her Pokémon who helped her selling juice and cookies as a child. After both Sally and Gothitelle bonded together, the fog is completely gone due to its safekeeping of their memories.
She was sent out twice during Ash's five-on-five battle with [[Trip]] in [[BW010: A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]] . She first battled [[Trip's Servine]] and won with the help of her [[Attract]]. She then battled [[Trip's Frillish]] Ash had no knowledge of Frillish's [[Cursed Body]] ability, so commanded Snivy to use physical attacks, which led to their loss.
 
   
  +
[[File:BW010 13.jpg|thumb|left|Snivy battling against Trip's Servine.]]
In [[BW028: Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]], she battled against [[Bianca's Pignite]] after [[Iris' Emolga]] summoned it using [[Volt Switch]]. It later develops a rivalry with Emolga, as she is unimpressed with Emolga's attitude. It continuously uses [[Vine Whip]] to bring Emolga back after she tries to escape and also when Snivy showed the gang who had caused the fight between [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s Pokémon. However, despite this, Snivy saved Emolga (as well as [[Iris' Axew|Axew]] and [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]]) from a wild [[Simisear]]. Their rivalry was put on hold when Snivy and Emolga worked together to destroy a boulder that was about to crush the Simisear. However, the rivalry did not disappear, as shown when Snivy and Emolga looked quickly away from each other in disgust after catching each others' eye.
 
 
She was sent out twice during Ash's five-on-five battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010: A Rival Battle for Club Champ!|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. She first battled [[Trip's Serperior|Trip's Servine]] and won with the help of her Attract. She then battled [[Trip's Frillish]] after Pidove was defeated, leaving her as Ash's only hope. Ash had no knowledge of Frillish's [[Cursed Body]] ability, Snivy endures [[Water Pulse]] easily, but the resulting confusion results in Frillish's [[Hex]] knocking her out.
   
 
In ''[[BW027: Emolga and the New Volt Switch!|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', she battled against [[Bianca's Emboar|Bianca's Pignite]] after [[Iris' Emolga]] summoned it using [[Volt Switch]]. It later develops a rivalry with Emolga, as she is unimpressed with Emolga's mischievous attitude. It continuously uses [[Vine Whip]] to bring Emolga back after she tries to escape and also when Snivy showed the gang who had caused the fight between [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]'s Pokémon after Emolga steals all of their apples by fooling them using Attract causing her to get mad at her actions. However, despite this, Snivy saved Emolga (as well as [[Iris' Axew|Axew]] and [[Ash's Oshawott|Oshawott]]) from a wild [[Simisear]]. Therefore, she was reluctant to team up with Emolga to save the wild Simisear from a falling rock by breaking it with both Hidden Power and Leaf Storm combination. In the end, both Snivy and Emolga are not looking at each other due to their rivalry.
Ash used Snivy to battle against [[Trip's Servine]] again in [[BW034: Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]. However, this time her [[Attract]] failed because of Servine's [[Leaf Tornado]][[Leaf Tornado|&nbsp;]] and she was defeated by Servine's [[Cut]] .
 
   
 
Ash used Snivy to battle against Trip's Servine again in ''[[BW033: Ash and Trip's Third Battle!|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. However, this time her Attract was blocked by Servine's [[Leaf Tornado]] and her [[Leaf Blade]] was overpowered by Servine's [[Cut]].
Snivy and Emolga's rivalry was shown again in [[BW035: Facing Fear With Eyes Wide Open!]].

[[File:BW042 19.jpg|thumb|Snivy vs Georgia's Pawniard at the Don Battle Tournament.]]
In [[BW042: Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]] , Snivy was used against Georgia's Pawniard during the second round of the Don Battle Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. Pawniard maintained the advantage, and also threatened the Grass Snake Pokemon with a powerful Guillotine. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW043: The Club Battle Hearts of Fury, Emolga Versus Sawk!]] with [[Leaf Storm]].
+
In ''[[BW042: Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia's Bisharp|Georgia's Pawniard]] during the second round of the Don Battle Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW043: The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!|next episode]], by somehow using Leaf Blade to hit Pawniard dead-on while avoiding Guillotine and knocked her out with [[Leaf Storm]].
   
  +
In ''[[BW050: Battle for the Underground!|Battle for the Underground!]]'', all of the Pokémon were captured by Team Rocket. Snivy used her vines to let out several of the groups Pokémon, all of which proved useful for making an escape. She also used her vines to switch the direction of the tracks, allowing the Pokémon to get away from Team Rocket's train car and their helicopter piloted by Doctor Zager.
In [[BW052: Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]], Ash used Snivy against Elesa. She went up against Elesa's Emolga. Since they were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Emolga finally defeated Snivy with several powerful Aerial Ace attacks.
 
   
 
In ''[[BW052: Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy against [[Elesa (anime)|Elesa]] and her [[Elesa's Emolga (anime)|Emolga]]. Since they were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. While Snivy managed to hit it with Leaf Storm, Emolga finally defeated Snivy with several powerful [[Acrobatics]] and [[Aerial Ace]] attacks.
In [[BW055: A Maractus Musical!]], Snivy was used alongside Pikachu and Tepig in Ash's very first triple battle against Tobio's Maractus trio. Even when their combinations of Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Leaf Storm, were being used, the battle was postponed due to Cacchin making them all fall down.
 
   
[[File:Snivy_Leaf_Tornado.JPG|thumb|right|200px|[[Snivy]] using [[Leaf Storm]].]]In [[BW057: Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]], Snivy was happy to see [[Iris' Axew|Axew]] and [[Ash's Scraggy|Scraggy]] getting along despite them both losing in a battle. When [[Katharine's Gothita]] and Scraggy escaped and then followed by Axew in the middle of the night, Snivy followed them closely, and saves them from an attack caused by a wild Garbodor that Gothita disrupted. The next day, Ash used Snivy against Katharine's Gothita after he made a bet involving Scraggy, which ended in an easy victory for her, as Gothita was used to calling all of the shots, and did not do well when Katharine was telling her what to do.

When [[Katharine's Gothita]] and Scraggy escaped and then followed by Axew in the middle of the night, Snivy followed them closely, and saves them from an attack caused by a wild Garbodor. She later fought Gothita in battle after revealing her dislike to her bratty and demanding attitude and to urge Scraggy to join in Katharine's side by trade. After Snivy defeated Gothita to make Ash won the battle and not to trade Scraggy to Katharine's other Pokémon, she humiliated her by showing her beauty streak, making her run away in a bratty manner and Katharine to chase her Pokémon.
In [[BW063: Battling the King of the Mines!]], Snivy was used in a Gym battle against [[Clay's Palpitoad]]. She used Attract to immobilized it and then hitting it with Vine Whip and Leaf Blade and finally defeated it with Leaf Storm. She went up against Clay's Excadrill and after her attacks were being blocked by Excadrill's Rapid Spin, Snivy got knocked out with a powerful Horn Drill.
 
   
  +
In ''[[BW061: Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1|Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1)]]'', Snivy tried to halt the rampage of [[Tornadus]] and [[Thundurus]]. She landed a hit on Tornadus with Leaf Storm, but it simply swatted her away with [[Hurricane]].
In [[BW079: Evolution by Fire!]], Snivy was disgusted by Suama, Tepig's former trainer. She volunteered to be used in Ash's battle against [[Suwama]]. She teamed up with [[Ash's Pignite|Ash's Tepig]] to battle [[Emboar]] and [[Heatmor]]. She battled well despite the type disadvantage, even landing an Attract on his Emboar, and pulverizing it with Vine Whip. Tepig was un-motavated, but as Suwama was about to land a [[Flare Blitz]]/[[Fire Spin]] combo on Tepig, Snivy saved Tepig, getting knocked out in the process, but her loss brought back his motavation.
 
   
 
In ''[[BW063: Battling the King of the Mines!|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used in a Gym battle against [[Clay's Palpitoad]]. She used Attract to immobilized it and then hitting it with Vine Whip and Leaf Blade and finally defeated it with Leaf Storm.
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">In [[BW109]], Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his Vertress Conference battle with Cameron, sending her out to face Cameron's Riolu. Riolu started the battle with a Vacuum Wave, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. Riolu, however, quickly recovered and used Copycat, striking Snivy back with her own attack. Next Riolu used Vacuum Wave again, forcing Snivy to jump out of the way and allowing Riolu to easily grab her in order to use Force Palm on her. Riolu carried on with a Circle Throw, sending the Grass Snake Pokémon flying into the arena wall. Snivy, however, just got mad for getting thrown around, and started a comeback. First she fired a Leaf Storm, forcing Riolu to dodge it and allowing her to grab the Emanation Pokémon with Vine Whip and slam it into the field. Riolu then fired another Vacuum Wave attack, which Snivy shrugged off easily. But when it tried to repeat the same move, Snivy used Leaf Storm to overpower the Fighting-type move and hit Riolu, causing serious damage. Unfortunately for Snivy and Ash, while Riolu struggled to his feet, this resulted that Riolu suddenly evolved into Lucario, a much more formidable opponent. When the battle continued in [[BW110|the next episode]], Snivy fought bravely against her evolved opponent. She struck with a powered up Leaf Blade (possibly from Overgrow), which inflicted serious damge, however Lucario hit her with Force Palm. Snivy bombarded him with numberous brutal Vine Whips, but Lucario caught them and threw her with her own vines and finished her with Aura Sphere, leaving only Pikachu to battle the powerful foe.</span></p>

  +
In ''[[BW079: Evolution by Fire!|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted from [[Shamus]], [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]]'s former trainer. Snivy was the one who convinced Tepig to fight his former Trainer in battle and she also slapped Tepig's face with her Vine Whip to wake him up from his depression. During the tag battle, Snivy was attacked by both Shamus' Emboar and Heatmor's attacks which she glared Tepig by convincing him to fight back as he confidently agrees. Snivy managed to save Tepig from getting knocked out in the process from both of Emboar and Heatmor's Flare Blitz and Fire Spin combination, but her loss brought back his motivation and his evolution to Pignite to defeat both of Shamus' Pokémon with his newly learned Fire Pledge and a newly powerful Flame Charge to make Ash won the tag match and Snivy was happy for Pignite to their victory despite her severe injuries.
  +
  +
In ''[[BW100: Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', she faced off against the Flower Garden Trio. Ash used Snivy up against [[Moira]]'s [[Cinccino]] in a test of strength on a balance beam.

In ''[[BW109: Cameron's Secret Weapon!|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his Vertress Conference battle with [[Cameron]], sending her out to face [[Cameron's Lucario|Cameron's Riolu]]. Riolu started the battle with a [[Vacuum Wave]], which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. While Riolu tried to struggle to his feet and almost fainted, the severe pain resulted in Riolu suddenly evolving into Lucario, a much more formidable opponent, who got his strength back. Snivy bombarded him with numerous brutal Vine Whips, but Lucario caught them and used [[Circle Throw]], and finished her with [[Aura Sphere]], leaving only Pikachu to battle the powerful foe.
  +
  +
In ''[[BW123: Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', she was used to battle against two [[Golurk]] controlled by [[Colress (anime)|Colress]].

==Trivia==
  +
*She shares traits with Ash's other [[Grass type]] Starters: being a protector like [[Ash's Bulbasaur|Bulbasaur]], being female like [[Ash's Bayleef|Bayleef]], being a prime battler like [[Ash's Sceptile|Sceptile]] and taking charge like [[Ash's Torterra|Torterra]], specifically when the latter was a Turtwig. She, like Bulbasaur, also never evolved.
 
*All of Snivy's Grass type moves are also known by Ash's other Grass-type Starters.
 
**[[Vine Whip]] is also known by Bulbasaur and Bayleef.
 
**[[Leaf Blade]] is also known by Sceptile.
 
**[[Leaf Storm]] is also known by Torterra and Sceptile.
 
*Snivy has developed a rivalry with [[Iris' Emolga]].
 
**Interestingly, they are both the only female Pokémon currently on the main cast that know [[Attract]].
 
**The two have somewhat opposite personalities; Snivy is calm, collected, mature and willing to fight her own battles no matter how tough her opponent may be, while Emolga is childish, deceptive, lazy and unwilling to battle seriously and/or tricks/forces others to battle for her (by using Volt Switch).
  +
**Their heated rivalry is later shared by [[Clemont's Chespin]] and [[Serena's Pancham]] when they fight each other and arguing despite the former is responsible for instigating in their fight. Unlike Chespin and Pancham, they didn't put their rivalry at a halt.
  +
*Snivy is Ash's first Unova Starter Pokémon confirmed to be female. Snivy can be also count as Ash’s second female Unova Pokémon after [[Ash's Unfezant|Unfezant]], due to both genders revealed in the same episode where Snivy was introduced and captured, and at time when Unfezant was Pidove.
  +
*Snivy's capture marks the first time since [[Johto]] that Ash has captured all three of a region's starters.
  +
*When Snivy unleashes her Leaf Blade from her tail. It resembles Ash's Treecko's Pound during execution.
  +
*Snivy is a Pokémon version of Jessie from Team Rocket and both shared their anger mood towards their comrades. In Snivy's case, she angrily glares at Tepig who is later evolved into Pignite.
  +
**Interestingly both characters are voiced by Megumi Hayashibara and Michele Knotz.

{{Reflist}}
* Snivy seems to be the most level headed and mature Pokémon currently on Ash's Unova team.
 
* It is suggested that Snivy is one of the few Snivy's who abandoned their previous trainers since they saw the trainer as unworthy or incompetent. Which could explain her high level grass moves and Attract, although it may be possible Snivy was strong before all this.
 
** During Ash and Snivy's first encounter, Snivy displayed surprise at how Ash protected Pikachu and even thought about it a little. This could possibly mean Snivy had some troubled relation with a previous trainer.
 
* Snivy was the only Pokémon on Ash's team to ever defeat [[Trip's Servine]]. After Pikachu lost to it, Snivy was able to defeat it using [[attract]]. She later lost to [[Trip]]'s [[Frillish]] due to it's [[Cursed Body]].
 
* She may have traits similar to Ash's Grass starters: being a prime battler as in [[Ash's Sceptile]], being a protector as in [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], if counted being a female Grass-type as in [[Ash's Bayleef]] and taking charge as in [[Ash's Torterra]] when it was Turtwig.
 
* Snivy is Ash's sixth Pokémon to battle its evolved form. The other five were Pikachu, Sceptile as a Treecko, Corpish, Buizel, and Gliscor as a Gligar.

This Snivy is a Grass-type Pokémon owned by Ash. She is the fourth Pokémon that Ash obtained in Unova and also one of the three Unova starters.

Personality

Snivy is a proud and seductive Pokémon, and she also has a great observation. Furthermore, she has a sense of justice. When Iris' Emolga is causing mischief among Ash's Pokémon, she always mercilessly exposes Emolga's mischievous behavior by bringing her with her Vine Whip and to show it to Ash and his friends that she was responsible for stealing their apples, which makes Emolga angrily fed up, creating their heated rivalry.

Their heated rivalry is later demonstrated in Team Rocket's Shocking Recruit!, where Snivy was surprised to see Emolga was briefly recruited by Team Rocket and becomes furious when she thwarted her attempt to kidnap Iris' Axew by using her Vine Whip causing both of them to have a fight and they are mostly seen arguing each other during the fight which Meowth could not translate their language due to their bickering. Their fight is similar to Ash's Corphish and May's Torchic when they fight.

Even though she barely shows her emotions, she cares deeply for her friends. Still, she dislikes Trainers who don't fit her expectations, especially those who are selfish, which was a reason why she had left her former Trainer. This also happens in Evolution by Fire!, in which Snivy dislikes Shamus for abandoning Tepig and his cruelty behavior which she convinces Tepig to fight his former trainer, even though he keeps his loyalty to him.

Snivy is also a risk taker like Ash's Boldore where she nearly sacrificed her life by tackling Tepig from getting a direct hit much like Boldore did to Cilan's Crustle and she is also the main reason for Tepig to regain composure and his evolution to Pignite to gain his confidence in fighting.

In Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!, Snivy also dislikes Katharine's Gothita's bratty and demanding behavior when she takes a liking to Ash's Scraggy and her actions to other Pokémon. After she defeats her in battle, Snivy humiliates it by showing her beauty streak towards her.

She is also had a behavior of a femme fatale when using her Attract against male Pokémon which she demonstrated this to Pikachu, Oshawott and Tepig when Ash attempted to capture her. But it didn't affect Pidove due to both having the same gender, making her felt desperate to fight.

Just like Sceptile, Buizel, Hawlucha, and Greninja, Snivy is very cool, calm, collected and serious.

Biography

File:BW007 10.jpg

Snivy joining Ash's team.

Snivy was caught by Ash and the gang, after she stole food from them. Ash then chased after Snivy, using each member of his team in turn to battle her, however the majority of his team (Pikachu, Oshawott and Tepig) were affected by Snivy's Attract, forcing Ash to recall each of them. It wasn't until Pidove offered to battle did Ash manage to hold his own Snivy, as her Attract had no effect on Pidove. Snivy broke out of the first Poké Ball attempt and fought back, but she decided that Ash was a worthy trainer and allowed Ash to catch her.[2]

Snivy is used to fight a wild Gothitelle which is owned by Sally, the daughter of the Water Taxi Captain in the episode The Lost World of Gothitelle! when it manages to send Ash, Cilan and Iris to the lost world. Snivy becomes seriously desperate to fight until it was later interrupted by a present Sally whom she recognizes her Pokémon who helped her selling juice and cookies as a child. After both Sally and Gothitelle bonded together, the fog is completely gone due to its safekeeping of their memories.

Snivy battling against Trip's Servine.

She was sent out twice during Ash's five-on-five battle with Trip in A Rival Battle for Club Champ!. She first battled Trip's Servine and won with the help of her Attract. She then battled Trip's Frillish after Pidove was defeated, leaving her as Ash's only hope. Ash had no knowledge of Frillish's Cursed Body ability, Snivy endures Water Pulse easily, but the resulting confusion results in Frillish's Hex knocking her out.

In Emolga and the New Volt Switch!, she battled against Bianca's Pignite after Iris' Emolga summoned it using Volt Switch. It later develops a rivalry with Emolga, as she is unimpressed with Emolga's mischievous attitude. It continuously uses Vine Whip to bring Emolga back after she tries to escape and also when Snivy showed the gang who had caused the fight between Ash's Pokémon after Emolga steals all of their apples by fooling them using Attract causing her to get mad at her actions. However, despite this, Snivy saved Emolga (as well as Axew and Oshawott) from a wild Simisear. Therefore, she was reluctant to team up with Emolga to save the wild Simisear from a falling rock by breaking it with both Hidden Power and Leaf Storm combination. In the end, both Snivy and Emolga are not looking at each other due to their rivalry.

Ash used Snivy to battle against Trip's Servine again in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!. However, this time her Attract was blocked by Servine's Leaf Tornado and her Leaf Blade was overpowered by Servine's Cut.

Snivy vs Georgia's Pawniard at the Don Battle Tournament.

In Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, Snivy was used against Georgia's Pawniard during the second round of the Don Battle Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the next episode, by somehow using Leaf Blade to hit Pawniard dead-on while avoiding Guillotine and knocked her out with Leaf Storm.

In Battle for the Underground!, all of the Pokémon were captured by Team Rocket. Snivy used her vines to let out several of the groups Pokémon, all of which proved useful for making an escape. She also used her vines to switch the direction of the tracks, allowing the Pokémon to get away from Team Rocket's train car and their helicopter piloted by Doctor Zager.

In Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!, Ash used Snivy against Elesa and her Emolga. Since they were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. While Snivy managed to hit it with Leaf Storm, Emolga finally defeated Snivy with several powerful Acrobatics and Aerial Ace attacks.


In Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!, Snivy was happy to see Axew and Scraggy getting along despite them both losing in a battle. When Katharine's Gothita and Scraggy escaped and then followed by Axew in the middle of the night, Snivy followed them closely, and saves them from an attack caused by a wild Garbodor. She later fought Gothita in battle after revealing her dislike to her bratty and demanding attitude and to urge Scraggy to join in Katharine's side by trade. After Snivy defeated Gothita to make Ash won the battle and not to trade Scraggy to Katharine's other Pokémon, she humiliated her by showing her beauty streak, making her run away in a bratty manner and Katharine to chase her Pokémon.

In Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1), Snivy tried to halt the rampage of Tornadus and Thundurus. She landed a hit on Tornadus with Leaf Storm, but it simply swatted her away with Hurricane.

In Battling the King of the Mines!, Snivy was used in a Gym battle against Clay's Palpitoad. She used Attract to immobilized it and then hitting it with Vine Whip and Leaf Blade and finally defeated it with Leaf Storm.

During the tag battle, Snivy was attacked by both Shamus' Emboar and Heatmor's attacks which she glared Tepig by convincing him to fight back as he confidently agrees. Snivy managed to save Tepig from getting knocked out in the process from both of Emboar and Heatmor's Flare Blitz and Fire Spin combination, but her loss brought back his motivation and his evolution to Pignite to defeat both of Shamus' Pokémon with his newly learned Fire Pledge and a newly powerful Flame Charge to make Ash won the tag match and Snivy was happy for Pignite to their victory despite her severe injuries.

In Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!, she faced off against the Flower Garden Trio. Ash used Snivy up against Moira's Cinccino in a test of strength on a balance beam. She overpowers Cinccino and throws her into the mud, later her and Cinccino have a real battle and, although Cinccino gave her serious problems, she managed to defeat it.

In Cameron's Secret Weapon!, Snivy was the sixth Pokémon Ash chose to use during his Vertress Conference battle with Cameron, sending her out to face Cameron's Riolu. Riolu started the battle with a Vacuum Wave, which Snivy was easily able to dodge before attacking the Emanation Pokémon with Leaf Blade. While Riolu tried to struggle to his feet and almost fainted, the severe pain resulted in Riolu suddenly evolving into Lucario, a much more formidable opponent, who got his strength back. Snivy bombarded him with numerous brutal Vine Whips, but Lucario caught them and used Circle Throw, and finished her with Aura Sphere, leaving only Pikachu to battle the powerful foe.

In Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!, she was used to battle against two Golurk controlled by Colress. Despite the notable size difference, Snivy is able to bring them down with Leaf Storm, but she had to be returned to her Poké Ball when Colress turned his mind control device on them.

Emolga accidentally hits a sleeping wild Exploud with her Hidden Power when Snivy dodges the attack. Both female Pokémon continues to fight only to be stopped by Ash when Team Rocket attempts to attack the group as Meowth could not translate them due to their bickering. After revealing the misunderstanding between Iris and Emolga and both Axew and Emolga are captured by Team Rocket to let them fight a wild Exploud inside the mirrored box. Snivy teams up with Ash's Charizard and Iris' Dragonite to break the box to rescue both and Ash's Pikachu who is caught in the net. Snivy also manage to beat both James' Yamask and Jessie's Woobat with Vine Whip and Leaf Storm and cutting the net using Leaf Blade to free Pikachu.
