In the anime

Ash's Phanpy using Take Down

Phanpy first appeared in Spell of the Unown, however, it was just a Pokémon that Molly Hale dreamed up and made real by the power of the Unown.

The first time a real Phanpy made an appearance was in Hatching a Plan. The Long Nose Pokémon hatched from an Egg that Ash Ketchum received in Extreme Pokémon. Phanpy was the baby of Ash's team, but its power made up for lack of experience. Ash left Phanpy and the rest of his Pokémon (save for Pikachu) at Prof. Oak's lab when he set out for the Hoenn region. Ash's Phanpy made a return to his team and evolved into Donphan in Reversing the Charges.

In the manga

Emerald uses a Phanpy in the Battle Pyramid for its ability to pick up items.

Pokédex entries

Gen	Game	Pokédex entry
II	Gold	It swings its long snout around playfully, but because it is so strong, that can be dangerous.

	Stadium 2	It swings its long snout around playfully, but because it is so strong, that can be dangerous.

	Sapphire	Phanpy uses its long nose to shower itself. When others gather around, they thoroughly douse each other with water. These Pokémon can be seen drying their soaking-wet bodies at the edge of water.
	Emerald	Phanpy's big ears serve as broad fans. When it becomes hot, it flaps the ears busily to cool down. Even the young are very strong.

	LeafGreen	It swings its long snout around playfully, but because it is so strong, this can be dangerous.
