Ash's Snivy (Japanese: サトシのツタージャ Satoshi's Tsutarja) is the fourth Pokémon that Ash caught in the Unova region.
History
Appearing in Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!, Snivy was discovered by Ash and his friends after she stole some food from them. Iris and Cilan speculated that Snivy abandoned her Trainer who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating Pikachu with Attract then escaping using Leaf Storm. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.
Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a Trainer of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, Oshawott, Tepig) 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 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, Pidove was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her capture 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 A Rival Battle for Club Champ!. In her first match against Trip's Servine, her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's Frillish, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's ability, Cursed Body, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
In Emolga and the New Volt Switch!, Snivy was called out of her Poké Ball by Iris's Emolga's Volt Switch. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against Bianca's Pignite for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and co. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as Axew and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry Simisear and stopped it with Vine Whip. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a Hidden Power-Leaf Storm combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.
She battled with Trip's Servine once again in BW031. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with Leaf Tornado, leading to her losing the match.
She will appear again in BW040 where she will battle Langley in a tournament held by Nimbasa City's Don George.
Personality
Snivy is a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is widely speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when Ash's newly hatched Scraggy attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him, or when she saw through Iris's Emolga's cute act in Emolga and the New Volt Switch!. As shown in BW032, she still holds anxiety towards Emolga. Overall, Snivy is calm, serene, proud, and collected.

Trivia
- Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after DP190, featuring all the Unova starters.
- Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
