In the anime
Onix first appeared in EP005 under the ownership of Brock. He gave it to his little brother, Forest, in H001, and sometime before AG176 it evolved into a Steelix.
Ash and co. encountered a giant Onix in EP071. It was on a rampage until Bruno managed to get a Sandslash from under the Rock Snake Pokémon's "skin." Bruno captured the Onix afterwards.
EP087 featured a Crystal Onix. Ash and co. helped a glass sculptor named Mateo search for it because Mateo believed it would help inspire him to be better at his craft.
In EP111, Drake of the Orange Crew owns an Onix and he used it to fight Ash's Squirtle in the second round in the Orange League Champion match. After
Hydro Pump Drake's Onix into submission, Squritle defeated it with a Skull Bash.
A "King Onix" was featured in AG137. Team Rocket tricked King Onix into thinking Ash and co. were going to destroy his kingdom. When Ash managed to convince that he and his friends weren't bad by defeated King Onix in a battle, Team Rocket tried to steal the royal Rock Snake Pokémon(but their plan was foiled as usual).
Other appearances
Onix is the second Pokéfloat to appear. It provides a hoizontally flat area all the time it is on-screen, though it becomes diagonal as it leaves the screen.

Trivia
Origin
Name origin
Onix's name is a corruption of onyx, a mineral. Its Japanese name is based on 岩 iwa, rock. It may be a combination of イワ iwa, rock and スネ−ク snake.
It has been suggested that Onix is based on a wyrm, a type of dragon that has been presented as limbless and burrowing.
