'''Team Plasma''' (Japanese: '''プラズマ{{tt|団|だん}}''' ''Plasma-dan'', literally ''Plasma Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] in [[Unova]]. Team Plasma's ultimate goal is to "liberate" all Pokémon from their trainers, by either convincing the trainer to release their Pokémon, or by theft. [[Ghetsis]], one of Team Plasma's leaders, exploited the group in an attempt to rule Unova as the only one with Pokémon. | |||

Two years after Team Plasma's defeat, the group returned with new leadership, and an all new bid to rule Unova. A small group from the original Team Plasma was still loyal to [[N]], and took it upon themselves to take care of weakened Pokémon in the wild. | Two years after Team Plasma's defeat, the group returned with new leadership, and an all new bid to rule Unova.

Unlike other teams, Team Plasma has named grunts in the anime. [[Aldith]] and [[Barret]] are two grunts who answered directly to Colress and Ghetsis and acted as commanders toward other, unnamed grunts. Two others, [[Schwarz and Weiss]], have been seen conducting specific operations and may be of similar rank. | Unlike other teams, Team Plasma has named grunts in the anime.

Several Team Plasma operations throughout the {{chap|Black & White}} were conducted by the [[Shadow Triad]]; in particular, their kidnapping of the Unova [[Gym Leaders]] at the same time that they set their sights on stealing the [[Dark Stone]]. At the end of the arc, several Team Plasma Grunts escaped. One of them. [[Whi-Two]], became a [[Pokédex holder]] by the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, which was set two years after the previous arc. By that time, Team Plasma re-emerged as a new force led by [[Colress]], who designed the Grunts' new attire. | |||
