Butch and
Cassidy attached Drowzee to a device that would amplify Drowzee's hypnotic waves and broadcasts it through a parabolic antenna on the roof of their base. Drowzee would then use the attack to round up Pokémon by telling them to come to
Butch and
Cassidy's base on Mandarin Island. Drowzee could also command the controlled Pokémon to attack, regardless if it was their owner that they were attacking.
It's control over the Pokémon was stopped when
Ash's Pikachu's Thunderbolt destroyed the control device. After
Misty's Togepi's Metronome destroyed
Butch and
Cassidy's base, Drowzee has not been seen since.
