In the anime

Jessie had an Arbok that she obtained as an Ekans. It was her primary battling Pokémon until A Poached Ego, when she set it free along with James's Weezing to protect a wild group of Ekans and Koffing.

In EP056, Ash had used an Arbok in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, against the instructor's Jolteon.

In the manga

Koga and Agatha both have Arbok as important parts of their teams in Pokémon Special. In Pokémon Special, the pattern on an Arbok's belly may give an Arbok special abilities. With the help of Agatha's smoke, Agatha's Arbok had the ability to switch between a bunch of different patterns (see Issue 71), a speed boosting pattern, an attack boosting pattern, and a Invulnerability Pattern that repels poisons, Koga's Arbok, on the other hand, only has one pattern, which was a Regnerative pattern that allows it to regnerate any part of its body as long as the head remains intact. According to Pokémon Yellow, that leaves two patterns left undiscovered (if Koga's is the standard one).

Pokémon Special Pokedex entry (issue 71): It is rumored that the ferocious warning markings in its belly differ from area to area.

An Arbok is one of the antagonists in Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure.

Jesse's Arbok appeared several times in the Electric Tale of Pikachu.
