In the anime

Koga's Venonat evolved into this Poison Moth Pokémon in EP032.

At the beginning of Mewtwo Strikes Back, a pirate trainer used a Venomoth to battle alongside his Golem and Pinsir. The Golem, Pinsir and Venomoth fought Ash's Pikachu and were defeated afterwards.

In AG128, Katie battled against Ash using a Venomoth during the Hoenn League. Venomoth's Disable attack caused Ash's Torkoal to be unable to use Iron Defense, so that her Golduck could knock out the Coal Pokémon with Hydro Pump. In the following episode, Katie's Venomoth was defeated by Ash's Swellow.
