'''Petrel''' (Japanese: '''ラムダ''' ''Lambda'') is one of the four [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. At that time, all three male Executives were not easily distinguishable, and Petrel was not given a name and visual design to distinguish him from [[Archer]] and [[Proton]] until {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Petrel's motives on Team Rocket are more mild-mannered, as he freely gives out information such as passwords and the location of the Director. He even considers himself a "nice guy" and hands over the [[Card Key]]. Though he believes that the player can't use the information, it is his giving out of this information that leads to many of Team Rocket's defeats.

Petrel's position has existed since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, although he did not disguise himself as Giovanni in [[Generation II]]. However, his existence was easy to miss, because all male Rocket Executives used the same sprite (now adopted as [[Archer]]'s canonical design) and were not identified by name, making it seem to some like there was only one male Executive. The Rocket Executive that Petrel is based on was then given a canonical design and an official name in HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with the other three Executives, to distinguish them as individuals.
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Petrel served in much the same role, although he did not disguise himself as Giovanni and he did not have a name or visual design to distinguish him from the other male Executives.
