Chansey first appeared in Pokémon Emergency! where two of them wheeled Ash's Pikachu into the emergency room after he was injured badly from a flock of Spearow Ash was protecting Pikachu from.
Another Chansey appeared in Electric Shock Showdown, where she was seen wheeling in a Pidgey after it fought a losing Gym battle against Lt. Surge. This caused Ash to worry about his upcoming Gym battle with Lt. Surge and Pikachu to become frightened about fighting the Gym Leader.
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.

Kanto Battle Frontier
In Overjoyed, in an attempt for Ash to warm up for his rematch against Brandon, Nurse Joy decided to battle Ash with her Chansey in May's place while Ash sent out his Ash's Corphish. As none of Corphish's attacks did any damage to Chansey, Chansey went on to defeat Corphish with Solar Beam. After the battle, Chansey and Nurse Joy took Corphish to heal up on a stretcher. 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.
The Chansey in Fennel Valley reappeared in Pinch Healing! where she witnessed Nurse Joy unconscious from a flu. She stayed by Nurse Joy's side as she lied down in bed until she felt better.

Chansey then helped Nurse Joy with the hatching of Brock's Happiny Egg in which they were successful. Chansey then partook in the battle against Team Rocket.
One of them was used in battle under the ownership of a PIA Nurse Joy in SS025. She battled Brock's Sudowoodo at the Pewter Gym. Sudowoodo fell for Chansey's Attract and was defeated with an Egg Bomb; not laying a single hit.
Best Wishes series
Following Ash's arrival in Unova, Audino were featured instead of Chansey, as Chansey was not native to Unova.
After a long absence, another one appeared in SS027.
Personality and characteristics
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 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.
