'''Team Plasma''' (Japanese: '''プラズマ団''' ''Team Plasma'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation V]] games. This class comprises all the members of [[Team Plasma]] which battle the {{player}}, notably [[Ghetsis]] and the team's former leader [[N]] in his final three battles with the player in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the player again battles Ghetsis along with the high-ranking members [[Zinzolin]], the [[Shadow Triad]], and [[Colress]], the latter of which only uses this class during one battle before formally disbanding from the group. N, having renounced the team's ways, no longer uses this class. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the class is used exclusively by Ghetsis during his appearance in [[Episode RR]].

==In the anime==
Team Plasma was mentioned throughout much ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' as the "secret organization" active in Unova. Two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] would have been their debut appearance, but these were cancelled following the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}}. They then became the main antagonists of the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc. {{an|N}} debuted briefly in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', while [[Ghetsis]] and [[Colress]] debuted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
N, Colress, Ghetsis, and the other [[Seven Sages|Sages]] have all appeared in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==In the TCG==
Members of Team Plasma started being featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansion, beginning with {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|N|92}}.
