In the anime
Kingler first appeared in Showdown at Dark City as one of the Kas Gym's Pokémon.
Kingler's first major role was in The Battle of the Badge, under the ownership of Giovanni. He used it in his Gym battle against Gary's Nidoking and Arcanine. Despite the type disadvantage, Giovanni's Kingler was defeated by Gary's Arcanine. Giovanni had loaned his Kingler to Jessie, James and Meowth when he put them in charge of the Viridian Gym while he was out.
Ash's Krabby evolved into a Kingler in Round One - Begin!, during Ash's first round battle in the Indigo League.
