Chansey is similar to her Trainer, Nurse Joy, as both are caring and nice to Trainers and Pokémon. Chansey usually assists Nurse Joy when a Trainer comes in and escorts the Pokémon on a stretcher. Despite being caring, Chansey is able to hold her own in battle, first evident in ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'' where the one owned by the Nurse Joy was not only a good nurse, but a good battler as well. Chansey was able to defeat [[Ash's Corphish]] in an informal battle the two had as a result. During that battle, it was shown that Chansey, along with Nurse Joy, were more fierce towards opponents. After the battle, they revert back to their normal selves.

Chansey first appeared in Pokémon Emergency!, where two of them wheeled Ash's Pikachu into the Viridian City Pokémon Center's emergency room after he was injured badly from a flock of Spearow that Ash was protecting him from.

In Electric Shock Showdown, a Chansey from the Vermilion City Pokémon Center wheeled in a Pidgey after it lost a Gym battle against Lt. Surge. This caused Ash and Pikachu to worry about their upcoming Gym battle with Lt. Surge.

In Showdown at Dark City, a Nurse Joy sent out Chansey while revealing that she was undercover as an inspector for the Pokémon Inspection Agency.

While Ash and his friends were in Dr. Proctor's hospital in A Chansey Operation, Chansey wheeled in some injured Pokémon to Dr. Proctor's hospital as an extra room was needed since the Pokémon Center was full. Chansey then helped heal Team Rocket's Pokémon and Meowth. When Team Rocket battled Ash and his friends, Chansey prevented them from doing so and as Chansey cared for Arbok and Weezing earlier while they were injured, Arbok and Weezing refused to fight Chansey. After all the Pokémon were healed, Dr. Proctor and Chansey waved goodbye to Ash and his friends.

When Team Rocket watched the battle, they were interested in Chansey because of the fact that she was strong. They did so by having Wobbuffet disguise himself as a Blissey. Team Rocket was able to grab Chansey but Chansey easily defeated Team Rocket. Afterwards, Chansey watched Ash's rematch against Brandon.
