In the anime

Ash's Phanpy using Take Down
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.
