Jessie's Arbok (Japanese: ムサシのアーボック Musashi's Arbok) was the first Pokémon Jessie appeared with in Kanto; she received him as a birthday gift (in the original he was a seasonal gift).
History
Arbok first appeared in Pokémon Emergency! as an Ekans. He was used constantly by Jessie and eventually evolved into an Arbok in the episode Dig Those Diglett! along with James's Koffing after Jessie and James desperately wanted their Pokémon to evolve.
Arbok and Weezing seem to be both very emotional. This was first shown in Island of the Giant Pokémon, where they got very sad for being separated from Jessie and James, crying desperately, with Pikachu trying to cheer them up. At the end of the episode, when every lost Pokémon got reunited with their partners, Ekans and Jessie, along with James and Koffing, were happily crying, while Ash was only smiling with Pikachu, which may mean that Jessie's bond with Arbok was stronger than Ash's bond with Pikachu. It was also in this episode that he explained to Meowth along with James's Koffing "Pokémon do bad things because master bad. Pokémon not bad." In Lights, Camera, Quacktion both Arbok and Weezing got depressed for being rejected as the main characters in the movie. It was only with Jessie's and James's help that they got over it. On their last appearance, in A Poached Ego, they were reluctant in leaving Jessie and James, and when they did, they strongly cried.
Jessie used Arbok as her main battling Pokémon throughout most of the series up until Advanced Generation, a role which was taken over by Seviper. Jessie also used him during the Princess Festival.
In A Poached Ego, Team Rocket found a poacher holding a herd of Ekans and Koffing captive in Hoenn. After freeing them, James and Jessie reluctantly ordered Arbok and Weezing to stay in the wild and guard their fellow Pokémon. The two Pokémon have not been seen since.
Jessie and Arbok shared a close bond, as demonstrated when Arbok refused to leave her at first and cried when he finally did.
Nothing is known of Jessie's Arbok now, it is presumed to still be with the rest of the Ekans, along with Weezing and the Koffing.

In the manga
Jessie's Arbok makes an appearance in the manga series The Electric Tale of Pikachu. He first appears as an Ekans in Pikachu's Excellent Adventure. All subsequent appearances, beginning in You Gotta Have Friends, are as an Arbok. Like in the anime, Arbok is Jessie's primary Pokémon used in battle.
Trivia
- Arbok's arrow-like pattern on his neck differs in some episodes. Sometimes, the ends of the arrow stretch until the ends of his eye-like patterns on his chest and is only a few inches wide. Similarly, there are two red dots on its arrow in some episodes and in other episodes there are none.
- In The Misty Mermaid, Jessie's Arbok was shown to be able to swim without the need for air.
- In Jessie's room in Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, an Arbok's head can be seen as part of her bed's design. During her contest performance in Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!, Jessie uses an Arbok-shaped flute. These two are possibly paying homage to her former Pokémon.
- His gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of Island of the Giant Pokémon. In the subtitles, he refers to himself and Koffing as おれたち ore-tachi, which is a male speaker-only pronoun meaning "we", also used by characters such as Ash, Brock and James in the Japanese version.
