An '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''), known as a '''Team Rocket Admin''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive'') in Generation III, and as a '''Rocket Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket executive member'') in Generation II, is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation II]] games. They are the highest [[Team Rocket|ranked members]] of Team Rocket after [[Giovanni]], and are the heads of [[Team Rocket]] after he abandons the organization. They tend to use a combination of {{type|Poison}} and {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

There are four of them: three men and one woman. They were unnamed in [[Generation II]], but they all got individual names and sprites in [[Generation IV]]. [[Archer]] disbands Team Rocket after he is defeated.

There aren't any distinct Rocket Executives in [[Generation I]]; however, both [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear in {{game|Yellow}} ranked higher than grunts, guarding the room where Giovanni waits in the [[Rocket Hideout]] and [[Silph Co.]] However, they are unnamed in this game, being referred to simply as "ROCKET", since Trainers were not given names until [[Generation II]].

In [[Generation II]], this class technically didn't exist as all the characters who would eventually carry the title retained the same class as other members of Team Rocket. Thus, their Trainer class was '''Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいん''' ''Team Rocket member'') and each had the name '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''のかんぶ''' ''Executive''), with the sprites only differing between genders. They battle the player at [[Team Rocket HQ]] and [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Two Executives, one male and one female, also appear in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], along with a pair of Rocket Grunts, interrupting the player's progress through the [[Gym Leader Castle|Johto Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated [[Jasmine]].

===Generation III===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is not disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].

Their Trainer classes are finally dissociated from those of the Grunts when they make a return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where they are each known as an '''Executive'''. However, the Japanese Trainer classes remain unchanged from Generation III, but they are still given names. They are all adapted from the Executives from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} but given individual names and identities. Their names, [[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]], refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages, much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}.

It is unknown whether or not there are executives as present in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, as {{an|Giovanni}} is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on higher-ranking Team Rocket members such as [[Domino]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], who are field agents rather than administrators. {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] were also inclusive to the ranks of [[Team Rocket]], working as hired spies hunting {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, but this was only in the English dub.
