Bellsprout's first major appearance was in The Fourth Round Rumble, as Jeanette Fisher's Pokémon. This Bellsprout was unusually strong and managed to defeat Ash's Bulbasaur and Pikachu, but lost to Ash's Muk.

Another major appearance was in A Bout With Sprout. A kid from Earl's Pokémon Acadamy wanted to have Ash's Pikachu very badly. In his efforts to catch it, he captured a Bellsprout instead. This Bellsprout later saved the day when Team Rocket was causing trouble at the Sprout Tower.

A Bellsprout named "Scoopy" appeared in A Better Pill to Swallow as Old Man Shuckle's Pokémon. It was able run very fast and it could lift boulders.
