It joined Ash after that, and dealt with its Zangoose fears in the episode Tears for Fears!, in which Chimchar defeated a group of wild Zangoose similar to the ones that had attacked it when it was a Wild Pokémon.

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Zangoose finds itself in the Never-Utilized and Rarely-Utilized Tiers of Competitive Battling. While it has a great Attack Statistic that gets boosted even further with Toxic Boost and a good Speed, which would generally be good for sweeping, its Defenses are weak in comparison.

However, activating Toxic Boost also limits the amount of time a Zangoose is in battle. Generally, faster Pokémon with a high Attacking Statistic will be able to dispatch Zangoose without taking too much damage, unless it uses Quick Attack, which will definitely hurt if boosted.
