History

James originally caught Carnivine in the Great Marsh as a boy, as mentioned in a flashback in Cream of the Croagunk Crop!. It made its debut in Two Degrees of Separation!. In this episode, Team Rocket went to James's parents' vacation home in Sinnoh and James found Carnivine's Poké Ball among a collection of bottlecaps, but left quickly after being told Jessebelle was on her way. He decided to bring Carnivine with him. For the duration of time James had it with him, Carnivine took Cacnea's place as his main battling Pokémon.

In Jessilina's Sinnoh Contest debut, Carnivine was used in both the Performance Stage and the Battle Stage. In the first round, Carnivine used Bullet Seed on a lollipop that Jessie threw and amazed the crowd by biting Jessie's head. The performance impressed the judges and, as a result, Jessilina was one of the eight Coordinators moving on to the second round. There, it was seen defeating a Rhydon, showing that it is a skilled battler, and thanks to it, Jessie reached the final stage. However, it lost against Zoey's Glameow.

In Another One Gabites the Dust!, Jessie used Carnivine in the Battle Stage of the Chocovine Contest, where it got to the semi-finals, losing to Ursula's Gabite.

Carnivine was also used in Dressed for Jess Success! to compete in the Lilypad Contest Battle Rounds. Together with James, who was the one disguised as Jessilina at that time, they defeated Dawn and her Mamoswine in the semifinals and eventually won the Ribbon.

Carnivine was used by Jessilina multiple times in the Sinnoh Grand Festival, with the final one ending in Jessie's defeat to Dawn.

Following the Team Rocket trio's journey in Sinnoh, James was forced to leave Carnivine at Team Rocket's headquarters as it is not a Pokémon native to the Unova region and would seem suspicious.

Personality and characteristics

Carnivine continues the series' running gag of James's Grass-type Pokémon showing affection for him by hurting him whenever they are released from their Poké Balls. This affection is probably due to the fact that James and Carnivine shared a close bond when James was a child.

Carnivine shares a great relationship with James, like his other Pokémon. In Saving the World From Ruins!, Carnivine saw the fear in James's eyes at the face of death and heroically learned Vine Whip to rescue him and the others.
