A Black Belt in the anime

A Black Belt appeared in Glory Blaze! during Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition. He had teamed up with a Psychic and his Metagross, using a Zangoose by himself. They battled against Ash and Paul, who were using Turtwig and Chimchar. As Chimchar was scared of Zangoose, it was unwilling to battle, but Paul was only thinking about the possibility of getting Chimchar's ability Blaze activated. When Chimchar defended Turtwig from Zangoose's attack, Paul turned his back to it. Ash then started commanding Chimchar, and with the help of his Turtwig, Zangoose was defeated.

Zangoose
During the tag battle, the Black Belt uses his Zangoose to attack Paul's Chimchar, who is so frightened of it that it is barely able to attack. However, Ash's Turtwig is able to defeat Zangoose with a Razor Leaf-Tackle combo.

Zangoose's known moves are X-Scissor, Crush Claw, and Fire Blast.
