Major appearances[]
Zangoose debuted in ZigZag Zangoose, under the ownership of Nicholai. It battled against Template:Ash and his Template:AP, but suddenly, Zangoose noticed Jessie's Seviper and started to battle it instead. Ash, Template:Ashfr, and even Template:TRT did not know what was going on, but it was Zangoose and Template:P's natural rivalry that got the two fighting. They were suddenly knocked into a river and Seviper then used Template:M, knocking Zangoose unconscious. Template:An nursed Zangoose back to health with herbal medicine and left it to rest. Later, Seviper reappeared and engaged it in battle again. After a long and fierce battle, Zangoose finally knocked out the Fang Snake Pokémon with a Template:M.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness, Zangoose was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with Template:P and Template:P. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the Wigglytuff Guild. Team Razor Wind overheard that Team Poképals were assigned with the task of traveling to the Labyrinth Cave to get a Template:P Scale for an ailing Template:P, and decided to attempt beating Team Poképals. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite beat them up. It reappeared alongside its team in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness.
In Glory Blaze!, it was discovered that Paul found Template:TP being attacked by a group of Template:Pkmn2 Zangoose. Due to the Template:A it used fighting the Zangoose, Paul decided to Template:Pkmn2 it. Also in this episode, Chimchar was matched against a Template:Tc's Zangoose and nearly lost to it during the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition.
In Tears For Fears!, another group of Zangoose appeared before Template:TRT and fought with Jessie's Seviper. Later, Chimchar found the courage to defeat them.
A powerful Zangoose appeared in Beating the Bustle and Hustle!, under the ownership of Crimson. During the battle against Template:Ash and Officer Jenny, Zangoose was able to defeat Template:AP but fell to Template:AP's Template:M.
A Zangoose appeared in Saving Braviary!, under the ownership of the Template:Tc Weiss. Weiss sent it out after he and Schwarz caught Template:An getting away with an injured Braviary. It was then used to battle Template:Ash and Template:Ashfr, and was eventually defeated in a battle by Ash's Pikachu with help from the same Braviary. Additional Team Plasma Grunts used several Zangoose in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, during Team Plasma's assault on the White Ruins.

- His appearances in The Stephen Squirrelsky and Friends' Movie Spoof Travels are Kermiladdin 2: The Return of McLeach where he, Manfred, Seviper, Springbaky, Zangoose, and Chimpy attempt to catch Stephen and his friends, but miss, then in Here Comes Winnie the Pooh where he, Lionel, You-Reek Skunk, Teresa, Trevor Sr, Trevor Jr, Slade Spider, Jackal O'Tucksy, Poisonous Snake, Cruella, Jasper, Horace, The Greaser Dogs, The Greasers, The Rowdyruff Boys, Poodles Galore, Mandark, Manfred, Beedrill, Springbaky, Seviper, Chimpy, Red Guy, Feisty Badger, Red Deer, Dicki Yak, and The Cyberchase Villains work for Ratigan, Fidget, and other baddies to stop Stephen and his friends from delivering the Easter eggs, just to fail again, and will hopefully be in more.
Origin[]
Zangoose is based on the Template:Wp, a cat-like carnivore that is well known for its ability to hunt and kill venomous snakes. It also bears physical resemblance to the Angora and Persian cat breeds. The rivalry it shares with Seviper is based on the relationship between both cats and mongooses towards Template:Wps.
Name origin[]
Zangoose is a combination of 刪 san (cut down) and mongoose. It may also derive from 残痕 zankon (scar) due to the markings on its body.
